Anna Chapman: Was Russian Spy Trying To Seduce An Obama Cabinet Member?, International Business Times ^ | April 3, 2012 | Daniel Tovrov
A female Russian spy — possibly flame-haired media darling Anna Chapman — was close to seducing a member of U.S. President Barack Obama’s cabinet in 2010, the assistant director of the FBI for counterintelligence revealed in a recent interview with British television.
Frank Figliuzzi said the Federal Bureau of Investigation had been tracking a 10-person Russian spy ring for years but had to act sooner than planned because the female agent was getting close to drawing a U.S. official into a “honey trap.”
The individual “got closer and closer to higher and higher ranking leadership. She got close enough to disturb us,” Figliuzzi said in a segment that aired Monday of “Modern Spies,” a documentary series on the BBC Two channel in Britain.
Chapman was arrested along with nine other suspected spies in June 2010, and although Figliuzzi didn’t identify the U.S. official or the Russian operative in question, the BBC assumed he was talking about Chapman, who has drawn sporadic media attention in the United States and Russia since the arrests.

When Andrew Breitbart offered $100 000 for the person who gives him the Klein’s list of the liberal journalists in the USA I immediately checked the Russian web-sphere. I stumbled on a group of Russian journalists and media executives and guess what: Anna Chapman’s Dad have been working with them. Don’t be surprised if Komsomolskaya Pravda gives the most accurate info on Vasily Kushchenko. The 4vlast (the forth power) is group that was started by former journalists from the legendary paper. Their goal: to affect politics through the power of the media. Kind of like the American liberal 400...

As Hillary Clinton was beginning her job as President Obama’s chief diplomat, federal agents observed as multiple arms of Vladimir Putin’s machine unleashed an influence campaign designed to win access to the new secretary of State, her husband Bill Clinton and members of their inner circle, according to interviews and once-sealed FBI records.
Some of the activities FBI agents gathered evidence about in 2009 and 2010 were covert and illegal.
A female Russian spy posing as an American accountant, for instance, used a false identity to burrow her way into the employ of a major Democratic donor in hopes of gaining intelligence on Hillary Clinton’s department, records show. The spy was arrested and deported as she moved closer to getting inside State, agents said.
Other activities were perfectly legal and sitting in plain view, such as when a subsidiary of Russia’s state-controlled nuclear energy company hired a Washington firm to lobby the Obama administration. At the time it was hired, the firm was providing hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in pro bono support to Bill Clinton’s global charitable initiative, and it legally helped the Russian company secure federal decisions that led to billions in new U.S. commercial nuclear business, records show.
