Wippl in Foreign Affairs on a Cold War Case of Russian Collusion
Joseph Wippl, Professor of the Practice of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was quoted in a recent article on what the lessons from a 1972 investigation of a Stasi operation can teach us about the Mueller report.
Wippl was interviewed for an April 5, 2019 article in Foreign Affairs entitled “A Cold War Case of Russian Collusion.”
From the text of the article:
Almost everyone expected Brandt to fall from power. When he didn’t—247 lawmakers voted against him, two short of the necessary 249—suspicions immediately arose that someone, somewhere, had paid members of the opposition to abstain. “I knew that a couple of people were bribed in the vote,” Joseph Wippl, a former CIA operative who arrived in West Germany in 1974, told me. “But I didn’t know where the money came from.”
Wippl is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer. He spent a 30 year career as an operations officer in the National Clandestine Service (NCS). Wippl has served overseas as an operations officer and operations manager in Bonn, West Germany; Guatemala City; Luxembourg; Madrid, Spain; Mexico City; Vienna, Austria; and Berlin, Germany.
