Episode with Alon Pinkas is...”Read full review »

“Hopefully there’s more episodes of this great intelligence podcast. They were heavily producing counterintelligence episodes in 2020 after a few years layoff. Hopefully there’s more episodes coming in 2021.”

“Be warned that this host and all his cherry picked guests are ANTI-TRUMP “collusion delusion” maniacs. Every episode seems to be banishing the POTUS with a snarky, condescending liberal view on everything he stands for. #MAGA #NOCOLLUSION #READTHEREPORT 🇺🇸”
