Description

Special counsel Robert Mueller recently announced the indictment of 13 Russian trolls who had developed a scheme to penetrate and influence the U.S. political system. After co-hosts Michael Isikoff and Dan Klaidman heard these charges, it reminded them of another story of the Russian ‘illegals’ from the past — the real story of the Russian spies that inspired FX’s ‘The Americans.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
