The swap was the first thing that came to mind when I heard of the arrests, I bet they have some of ours that they think are spies. Whether they are or not is anyone’s guess.
Have you heard of Falcon Lake? This is another subject, but the morning news had a piece on mexican drug gang pirates putting the poor man that owns the fishing tackle shop out of business. All this while Mr 0 sits by and sues Arizona. Something is very wrong with that picture. We have citizens being harassed and threatened and yes killed at the border, but the prez thinks it’s ok because he doesn’t give a crap!
How very stupid were the people who voted for him and how do they like him now? Are they getting all the free stuff he promised so they can sit on their butts and not work? That was the lure he threw out there, plus the voting cheaters Acorn etc.
Sorry for ranting on your thread Ruth, but it’s just getting to be too much. The Dems, environmentalists, illegals, plus a lot of others, ACLU, drug cartels, have ruined this country and soon it will be a third world crap hole.

U.S., Russia negotiating swap of spy suspects

The United States and Russia are negotiating a swap in which
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/nation/russia-spies-bios/index.html?hpid=topnews
10 Russian spy suspects would be freed after a plea deal in
exchange for Moscow’s release of a defense researcher held for the past
decade on espionage charges, a U.S. official said.
The official confirmed that talks between the two governments began last
week shortly after the June 27 arrest of the suspects, who have been charged
with conspiring to act as secret Russian agents in this country. Nine of
them are also charged with money-laundering. An 11th person, also named in
the indictment, is at large.

The diplomatic discussions depend on lawyers reaching a plea arrangement in
federal court in New York, which an attorney for one of the suspects said
could come as early as Thursday. Three arrested in Northern Virginia and two
arrested in the Boston area were transferred to New York on Wednesday,
joining the five others.
In Moscow, an attorney for Igor Sutyagin, a Russian arms researcher who has
spent 11 years in prison on espionage charges, said her client was
unexpectedly brought to the capital on Tuesday from a penal colony in the
far northwest and told that he was being included in the exchange. Sutyagin,
who has maintained his innocence, was also issued a passport.

WAG, it is OK to rant, it isn’t my thread, it is Velveeta’s, but she is never here and will never know....LOL...LOL...
I listen to the border of Mexico problems and am amazed that no one really understands what is going on or how we are being taken over.
Above is the latest on the spy swap.
In my opinion, this whole thing was planned from the beginning, the ‘o’ got a boost in his rating and we import a guy who will feed us so much disinformation that we will not know the truth, if we step in it.
