With all the talk about the Russia investigation - and who President Trump might fire next - Former FBI double agent Naveed Jamali worries we're losing sight of a bigger problem.

"Russia really does see us as their main enemy. It's not the Russian people, per se. But it's Vladimir Putin," Jamali told KING 5 News.

Naveed Jamali is the author of "How to Catch a Russian Spy." He believes Russian operatives are active in the US, in multiple ways, and says it's important to look at what they're accused of.

Jamali worries not enough Americans are seeing the threat, especially here in Seattle where he believes the tech industry is a clear target. He believes it's time for Americans to start paying attention.

"Seattle is a place where the Chinese and the Russians both have consulates. And I will tell you, as a matter of practical operations, if you have an embassy - there are going to be people there to spy. There are intelligence officers here, so Seattle is becoming a hotbed for this activity."
