Snips from Excerpt only site: One of the 10 people arrested on Sunday as part of a Russian spy network aimed at infiltrating U.S. policymaking circles appears to have attended the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University — one of the most influential venues in U.S. policymaking circles.

The LinkedIn profile also lists Heathfield as a past partner at Global Partners Inc., a management consulting firm that lists Abbott Labs, Boston Scientific, and GE as clients. Global Partners' website also lists a Donald Heathfield. When Yahoo! News told Carolyn Quintin, one of Heathfield's partners at the firm, of his arrest, she replied, "that doesn't make much sense."

"I'm in total shock," she said. "He's got such good training skills." Quintin said she believed that Heathfield is a Canadian with U.S. citizenship. She first met him, she recalled, "around 2001," before she had joined the firm herself.

"He was a great facilitator," she said. "He was great at looking at international cultures and communications."
