Browder, as CPUSA General Secretary, long benefited from the dogma of the [[liberal]] and [[leftist]] intelligentsia that the CPUSA did not participate in Soviet espionage against the United States.

An indication of Browder's cooperation with the [[KGB]] can be derived from a discussion [[Jacob Golos]] had with Browder in November 1943 regarding a group of KGB informants he was running. Browder became involved in the operation, and after Golos's death that same month, Browder arranged with Bentley to take over the group. She met the members in [[John Abt]]'s apartment in New York. <ref>FBI Report, New York #65–14913, 8 November 1950 and 65–57913; SI 304 Venona 588 New York to Moscow 29 April 1944. </ref>

For some reason Browder did not come to the meeting and just decided to put Bentley in touch with the whole group. All occupy responsible positions in Washington, D.C.”

Earl Browder's close association with the KGB was further borne out by the fact that he was the recipient of classified data. KGB Case Officer [[Iskhak Akhmerov]] and [[Nathan Gregory Silvermaster]] agreed that Akhmerov would pass intelligence on the [[Chinese Communist Party]] to Browder through KGB Rezident [[Anatoly Gorsky]] or CPUSA organizational secretary [[Bernard Schuster]].  Browder's niece, [[Helen Lowry]] was married to Akhmerov and was a KGB spy, too.
