S8 Ep48: Espresso Martini: Hamas leaders messages, Europe & China, Chinese spies and potential ISIS-K plot foiled in USA

On today’s show, we are going to look at reports about private
messages from the leader of Hamas, criticisms of Europe’s
outdated approach to China, a former CIA officer and FBI linguist
pleading guilty to spying for China, and a potential plot from
ISIS-K foiled in the US.

Then we will move to our Patreon only show “Extra Shot” we will
look at Europe on high alert to Russian sabotage, Russian backed
online efforts to disrupt the Olympics, a Fugitive sheriff from
Florida who has a new career as an online propagandist in Russia
and we will wrap up looking at a piece about Chinese espionage
efforts in the west.
