“British tabloids purported that Chapman had come perilously close to “honey-potting,” or seducing, a member of president Barack Obama’s cabinet, and that was the reason the FBI swooped in and arrested the spies when it did.
But the FBI soon said such claims were patently false, and that the real impetus for the arrests was the work of another “illegal,” Cynthia Murphy, who had been in close contact with a friend and fundraiser of then US secretary of state Hillary Clinton.”
Hmm interesting. I wonder why they didn’t do the same when the “Russians”were infiltrating Trump’s campaign. It seems pretty convenient that they use this excuse here but didn’t in Trumps case
