"You, a military prosecutor? Gosh, that’s impressive"

Impressive or not, it's certainly more substantial than a writer - an alleged writer. Who are you, Katie Couric?

[kenavi]

Who are you, Katie Couric?

He already told you who he is: "As an obvious FBI apologist, I have one caustion (sic)"

[driftdiver]

The fact that they did it for 10 years tells me the Russians were very inept or have enough high contacts they weren’t worried about it.

Here is a really fascinating thread, I kid you NOT.

Big *PING*

>>>> "...had listening devices installed in several of their homes for over 4 years..." <<<<

I was quite surprised when I read this. I'm NOT a trained spy, but were I living in a foreign country as an unregistered illegal agent, I'd sure find a way to have my premises 'swept' for the detection of these types of devices.

You know?

Also... aren't most spies a bit PARANOID that they might be observed, that they may end up being watched, followed, monitored?

For goodness sakes, it's like all these folks were direct descendants of Mata Hari.

Several of us have a theory that the Russian spy, influence net was feeding huge sums of money to Dem election campaigns through the paymaster Mateos, the only one to escape from Canada through Cyprus , after having been arrested in Greece and as a known fugutive, released by a Greek judge on bail. He would have had all the information on where the money went, and he somehow escaped while all the innocent others were caught in the USA, after 10 years of surveillance?

Why did Obama allow suc a valuable useful disinformation fed net to be rolled up? Conjecture is that the money to the Dem party coffers was about to be disclosed, now no one can prove anything.They could of, if the had Mateos, but he managed to exercise a trememdous amount of luck and evade authorites through several plane flights and a trek through Greece,into Cyprus and away.

Something stinks in Denmark.

[hennie pennie]

MAYBE they were instructed to release him -- OR ELSE!!!

I wonder if he's on the Interpol list?

[Candor7]

Very,very strange goings on. The kids of the spies are also being treated with very strange process, not uniform. Some are sent home to Russia, some are in the hands of Social Services, some staying with family friends.Very weird stuff.

[hennie pennie]

What I find most alarming is that BHO was recently BFFs with Medyedev, AND when this story broke, BILL CLINTON was with Vlad Putin at Putin's summer dacha.

WHY was former President Clinton WITH Putin???

I mean... really!! I just hope that the FBI is working for the good of the country, and not for the finances of the DNC, LOLOLOL

[Candor7]

There is a huge MURK factor associated with this fiasco!Where are all the investigative journalists? What a bunch of wimps!

[Tainan]

This is not an uncommon time-frame when dealing with known sleeper agents.
Real-Life ain't like the movies.

[Eye of Unk]

Did the FBI allow Obama to be voted in as POTUS knowing full well that he failed to qualify, had a ghostly faint past with known radicals all in the hopes of gaining just more intelligence?

A Judas goat?

This is the rumor I’ve been hearing as well from certain people in the Beltway who are in “KNOW” - The FBI is pretty much still in Patriot control and they did pick this time to put the hammer down on the Russian spies they’d been watching in order to stop the Obama Commie relationship with the Russians.

My sources tell me that there is a real intense bloodless bureaucrat war going on within the Beltway with the U.S. Service Service acting as the tip of the Obama spear that targets the “hold-outs” like the FBI, NSA and the various military intelligence divisions in the Armed Forces.

Did I tell you about coup rumors? Obama is said to worried that the Armed Forces may overthrow his regime as was done in Chile in 1973 to Allende.

Welcome to the Weimar Republic, folks...

The word is that the real bad guys are the U.S. Secret Service (SS)-a.k.a. the Praetorian Guard - is pulling a lot of strings for Obama’s conquest of the federal bureaucracy - and in particular has targeted FBI counter intelligence and military intelligence run by the National Security Agency at Ft. Meade, Maryland.

Believe me between the FBI and NSA they know where all of Obama’s bodies are buried and have the evidence to prove it.

I would be happy if that were to occur...and I do HOPE the bo is spoked. Love it!

[Ronbo1948]

President Petraeus? I couldn’t think of a better man. The world expert in counter insurgency and turning around situations thought to be lost causes. Perhaps THE MAN and THE HOUR are fast coming together.

[caww]

Oh yea on Petraeus! But I think it’s dreaming to see anyone do an overthrow in our Gov... but it’s an entertaining and pleasant way to escape from the nightmare of reality we see in Washington now!.....However If the MAN and the Hour thought to make dreams reality I’m up for it!

Well, that's an interesting take. If so , some might understand more why Obama was so surprisingly quick to take on Petraues whom he had sharply criticized before; Petraeus no doubt has a pretty good reputation of being loyal to civilian leadership.

Can you give a little insight about why your sources might be reliable regarding Secret Service activities?

Now there’s the HOPE to hold out for.
