Speculation abounded after black smoke was seen pouring from the chimney of the Russian consulate in San Francisco on a hot day in September, one day after the Trump Administration ordered the consulate’s closure. But journalist Zach Dorfman says the smoke was just one small hint of what was going on at the consulate. He says it was the site of an “intensive, sustained and mystifying pattern of espionage.” Forum talks to Dorfman about his Foreign Policy article “The Secret History of the Russian Consulate in San Francisco.”
