From Fire Andrea Mitchell:
Obama regime trades ten Russian spies for four people
This is the rate of return Obama gets for 10 Russian spies who have been in the country for about a decade? Lets just ignore for the fact that no information were extracted from the 10 Russian spies that were captured a few weeks ago. We can also ignore the fact that the media made this story about Anna Chapman’s (one of the Russian spies) looks, and not the fact that she was a spy. Why are we trading 10 for 4? This is a joke!
Ten Russian agents who infiltrated suburban America and acted as spies for Moscow were deported Thursday.
The spies left New York for Moscow hours after pleading guilty to conspiracy in a Manhattan courtroom and being sentenced to time served and ordered out of the country, said a law enforcement official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak on the record.
The spies were to be exchanged for four people convicted of betraying Moscow to the West in the biggest spy swap since the Cold War. The swap carries significant consequences for efforts between Washington and Moscow to repair ties chilled by a deepening atmosphere of suspicion.
The defendants were captured last week in homes across the Northeast. They were accused of embedding themselves in ordinary American life while leading double lives complete with false passports, secret code words, fake names, invisible ink and encrypted radio.
One spy worked for an accounting firm, another was a real-estate agent, another a columnist for a Spanish-language newspaper.
Attorney General Eric Holder said the “extraordinary” case took years of work, “and the agreement we reached today provides a successful resolution for the United States and its interests.” White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said on PBS’ “NewsHour” that President Barack Obama was aware of the investigation, the decision to go forward with the arrests and the spy swap with Russia.
