Summary

Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old DOGE staffer recently promoted to a senior adviser role in the State Department, is reportedly the grandson of former KGB spy Valery Martynov.

Martynov was executed in the Soviet Union after being exposed as an FBI informant. Coristine, an alleged former cybercriminal, previously worked in the General Services Administration and now has potential access to sensitive diplomatic data.

Concerns have been raised over his background and apparent lack of a security check.

The situation fuels fears about foreign influence in U.S. government operations.

        Slavic people are an ethnicity. Not one as “readable” as east asians or african americans, but they are.

        Again, their actions define them as shitheads who enable Trump’s bullshit, not some tainted DNA shit. If they were German or Japanese or Chinese that matters equally as much here. Someone isn’t an enemy to America and the lives of our citizens because they are related to a Russian agency that hasn’t existed in 30 years.

            “I don’t think someone’s family defines them, their actions do.”

            “YOU’RE THE RACIST HERE!”
