Do you think that every single country with an intelligence asset in the US government knows every single thing that the US government knows?

Double agents, hacking attacks, who knows what the chain of command custody was on the hard drives cds and thumb drives they cut out of epsteins safe when the fbi raided his Manhattan townhouse mansion in ‘19. Intelligence agency assets are not very scrupulous people, their main motivators are money and self preservation
