Devices near the embassies can be explained in two ways and the US spying on foreign diplomats is a far more logical one.

Why is it logical relevant agencies have access to providers they don't need these devices to track cellphones.

Or, Russian spies and other foreign entities listening to the conversations of U.S. Congressional staffers.
