Rooskie Spies Nabbed Closing in on Hilly
2011-11-01
The FBI rounded up a network of deep-cover Russian spies last year after the group came close to placing an agent near a Cabinet official in the Obama administration, a senior FBI counterspy said Monday as the bureau released once-secret documents on the case.
Last year? What did Obama know and when did he know about it?
"These 10 Russian officers were sent to the U.S. on a specific mission to get close to U.S. policymakers and leaders in our government," he said,
Couldn't they just renew old campus ties?
noting that one had developed a friendship with someone close to a Cabinet official. The FBI did not identify the official, but other U.S. officials said it was Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Just trying to renew an old friendship...
Mrs. Clinton's spokesman at the time the case broke sought to distance her from the case, but did not deny that she was the person mentioned in court papers. "There is no reason to believe that the Secretary of State was a special target of this spy ring," he said.
Why would they target Hilly? They had several pipelines higher than that!
He said a key break in the case developed in the mid-2000s after the FBI was able to decipher coded electronic communications between Moscow and the deep-cover spies. The communications were used to unravel the network, ending the FBI probe that began more than a decade ago.
So the probe began under that other guy? That previous President who was voted out in disgrace? The one it ws OK to portray as the victim of a violent crime? The worst President since Clinton?

#2  The spies were easy to spot. They weren't communists, or their dialectic wasn't up to date.
