Another bad day for the Obama.
Well, by telling the alleged traitor, who was probably working for the KGB, what we want to know, we tell them what we don’t know.
Nice going. Maybe obamadingdong should be used in the exchange. Frankly, I’d even toss in Holder.
Incompetence. Stuff like this used to be transmitted in diplomatic pouches, and I guess this guy’s “recruit” was KGB/FSB all the way.
Boy, they sure are trying hard to take Benghazi and the IRS off the front page aren’t they?
(From the article): "The Pentagon held internal talks on declassifying sensitive missile defense technology that it plans to share with Russia as part of the Obama administration’s efforts to assuage Moscow’s opposition to European defenses."
"After my election, I have more flexibility.""I will tell Vladimir."

You are correct, I bet that is exactly what this is about.
Ah, but if that were the case, this would have been all over the coffee-klatches of the MSM.
Like any typical case of wanting the truth about this regime, we have to get it from foreign sources, even if it IS the Beeb.
Prostitutes, lousey spies, IRS “Hit People”, Unprotected Consulates”, Ignoring Russian “Muslim Terrorists” in your midst memos, Ignoring Hassan warning, Ignoring panty bomber warning.....etc etc etc

The late +Cardinal Spellman who was a rabid anti Communist said this... “”...” only the bat-blind can fail to be aware of the Communist invasion of our country.” -Cardinal Spellman
‘our’ spook, working for the regime, was probably trying to bring down the Russian Republic and return it to a socialist state.
Russian agent: "And you're going to pay me with what? Dollars?!?"
A US national who works for the CIA is an “officer” not an “agent”.

Only this time, it's the CIA trying to bring a Russian over to the Communist cause.
That disguise was awful....lol.
Wonder...did the CIA decide to mirror the hiring practices of Holder’s DOJ?
