The new moniker speaks volumes in and of itself. Historically inaccurate and equating with royalty. JLA

KGB Records Reveal California Espionage
Intelligence: Unidentified man described as a Democratic Party activist informed Soviets about meeting with then-Sen. Cranston and presidential candidate Jimmy Carter, papers show.
By TYLER MARSHALL, Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON--Most knew him as a Democratic Party activist who was deeply involved in California politics during the Jimmy Carter years.
He rubbed shoulders with the party elite, including Gov. Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown Jr. and U.S. Sen. Alan Cranston. During the 1976 presidential campaign, he described taking part in a three-hour strategy session with Cranston, Brown and presidential hopeful Carter at the Pacific Hotel near Los Angeles International Airport.
But according to meticulous records kept by a former Soviet KGB official who fled to the West in 1992, he was a spy and his detailed reports were forwarded to Moscow's senior leaders.
Although Western intelligence officials said they believe there is little reason to doubt the account--one of thousands of details contained in documents spirited out of Russia by KGB archivist Vasili Mitrokhin--the identity of the California-based spy remains unknown, at least to the public.
According to Mitrokhin's records, the California activist was recruited by the KGB during a visit to Russia.
Asked about the account Thursday, Cranston said he was unaware whom the Soviet mole might be.
"I have no idea who this guy is," Cranston said. The former senator said that he recalled a Carter campaign event at the Pacific Hotel but remembered no meeting between the three Democrats as described by Mitrokhin.
"It's not logical such a meeting would have occurred," Cranston said. "I don't believe it happened. Sounds like this agent [was] trying to build up his own reputation."
Mitrokhin, who lives under a new identity in Britain, told Western intelligence agents that he copied volumes of information from KGB files over a 12-year period ending in 1984.....

I'll bet the Clintons have shred anything they could and even paid the Russians et al to destroy incriminating files because undoubtedly the traitors were Dem libs.
