20 of the Most Damaging Traitors in US History

Robert Hanssen

Robert Philip Hanssen is a former U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent who spied for Soviet and Russian intelligence services against the United States for 22 years from 1979 to 2001.

Few names bring such disdain within the FBI than Robert Hanssen.  He is considered to have orchestrated the worst intelligence disaster in US history.   Hanssen exposed the names of about 50 people within the Soviet system that were either recruited by the U.S. to spy or were being developed as sources.  At least three of those were executed, including Dimitri Polyakov who was the greatest agent the U.S. ever had inside that system.

Hanssen is currently serving 15 consecutive life sentences at ADX Florence, a federal supermax prison near Florence, Colorado.
