Court filings in a detention hearing for accused spy Peter Debbins provide considerable new detail on the crimes with which he has been charged. It appears that the government's primary (and perhaps only) source of information was Debbins himself. He evidently disclosed his contacts with Russian intelligence to the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in July 2019.
In a
letter to the office of U.S. Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD), Debbins wrote:
Quote:My DIA clearance was suspended when I self-reported an incident back in July. DIA referred it to the FBI for investigation (standard protocol). I am in regular contact with the FBI investigator. He told me that their investigation should have no impact on how DIA determines my clearance. However, DIA doesn't want to proceed to make a determination, saying that they won't proceed until the FBI finalizes their investigation. To which the FBI investigator replies that their investigation should have no impact on DIA's process (he also said that they are pretty well done with my case).
Being in this status is preventing me from providing my expertise even at an unclassified level. I have a contracting job offer for an HHS (Health and Human Services) position that only requires a "Public Trust" (which doesn't involve any classified information), but can't even get that, while having a suspension on my records.
I am currently residing in the Washington DC area, so I can come to the Congressional Offices in DC.
Peter Debbins
On 11 July 2019, Debbins wrote out by hand and signed what amounts to
a confession to all the Espionage Act violations enumerated in the criminal complaint.
In addition, it appears that Debbins' work at Fort Meade, Maryland from January 2011 to March 2014 was not with the National Security Agency (NSA), but rather with the
902nd Military Intelligence Group, an Army counterintelligence unit that is also headquartered at Fort Meade.
In a
resume, Debbins wrote:
Quote: 01/2011-03/2014 Senior Russian Cyber Analyst, 902nd Military Intelligence Group MISSION ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL, Fort Meade, Maryland
Mr. Debbins provided direct analytical support to CI (counter-intelligence) cyberspace operations to include consultation and advice on linguistic, technical, and cultural issues impacting mission execution. He utilized Boolean searches, HOTR, M-3, ISM, JWICS, open source and classified databases to identify and assess cyberspace threats. His key accomplishments were:
- Presenting recommendations for courses of action which were adopted by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
- Establishing an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) for training incoming linguists on collection protocol, report writing and presentation.
- Formulating solutions for agency and branch directors for Eurasian issues.
- Supporting decision making and special projects on intelligence integration issues to include the preparation, production, and coordination of written products and briefings for senior IC members, policy makers, military decisions [sic] makers, members of Congress, and other major stakeholders on intelligence integration efforts.
- Authoring 14 reports with "A" community evaluations resulting in the formation of community working groups to address the report issues.
- Representing his company in an online public relations and business services marketing.
No doubt, Debbins would have been required to pass a polygraph for this contractor position with the 902nd MI Group.
Note that in 2014, AntiPolygraph.org
published documentation of a so-called "confirmed polygraph countermeasure case" involving the 902nd MI Group. That case did not support the polygraph community's claimed ability to detect sophisticated countermeasures.
