In a democracy the intelligence services have no executive power. So whatever they advise, its up to the elected officials to act as they see fit. See Trump and his distrust for the IC . That being said, it's indeed possible that the German services have been compromised from the get go.One of the first things they learn at KGB is to lie about everything. You and me can be fooled, but the various security services of the western countries? I don't think so. Which makes is very strange that western leaders where "surprised" he was lying all along. Like Merkel ( who grew up in East Germany ffs !!! )
