Just when you thought that bumbling Boris Badenov and Natasha Fatale had retired for good, the FBI uncovers an 11-person, deep-cover Russian spy ring stretching from Boston to Washington.
But while the would-be cloak-and-dagger cabal didn't seem to provide much intelligence booty to their handlers at the Russian SVR (the new KGB) over the past two decades, the spy bust does unearth some troubling issues:
1. The Russian government -- rife with former security officials from the Soviet period, including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin -- still sees us as an important target and competitor, no matter how often Team Obama mashes the US-Russia "reset" button.
In fact, this imperfect, long-term intel operation, using a quaint menagerie of agents and old- and high-tech tradecraft, is a stark example of the risks Moscow will take to get US government secrets.

I don’t know why they went to all the trouble with the spy ring when all that they had to do was just ask O for the secrets and passwords, etc. Its like robbing someone who doesn’t mind being robbed. Why make a big production out of it? Why even bring a gun?
They were recruiting and we’re here joking. They got close to the Klintons and we don’t know yet who else was willing to ‘friend’ these creeps.
Why bother?
In fact all they have to do is read the NY Times, they routinely publish leaked information.
Or they could ask any of the RAT "Senators" or "Congressmen" who are already either bona fide or wannabe members of the CPU. Specifically Barney Frank, Bernie Sanders or John Effin Kerry (who served in Viet Nam).
Of course for the absolute best information, they merely need to dial 1-800-Go To Hell, and speak to Ted Kennedy.
