Moscow-US Spy Swap Could Happen Today (Say What?)
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 07/08/2010 12:45:56 AM PDT by quesney

A Cold War-style spy swap for the alleged Russian agents was being hammered out last night.

All ten Russians held by the U.S. - including 'femme fatale' Anna Chapman - will reportedly be exchanged for ten prisoners being held in Russian jails who have spied for the West.

The swap could begin as early as today, with Britain playing a pivotal role.

Say what? Why so fast? Have we even had a chance to interrogate these people? Are they part of bigger spy networks? What's going on here?

who says they haven’t been interrogated? Some one probably knows a lot more of what’s going on than we do in this case.

Well we wouldn’t want to find out things like “who is ‘running’ Obama” now would we?

Bambi sure didn’t waste any time covering up this one. I had a suspicion he was going to do this, but even I’m surprised at how fast he has moved.

Since every aspect of Obama’s past is being hidden by someone, there are a lot of people he has repay.

My guess is that the White House is embarrassed that the FBI has been doing their job, finding more of the traditional perfidy of the Russian ruling class.

I’m sure Obama is thinking it’ll save us so much money in trials...

I think Obama is pissed that the FBI was running this operation at the same time he was setting the “reset” button with US-Soviet relations. I mean, he and Medvedev had hamburgers together for crying out loud, it’s almost a bromance.

So expect to see the Soviet spies swapped before we really find out what they really stole, and in about a month or so, expect to see the FBI special agent in charge of this transferred to Timbuktu.

And after all, the DOJ wants to focus all their money and efforts stopping the real bad people, the Arizonans.

Likely the FBI brought the spies to light to get Obama to back off on his nuclear disarmament plans with Russia.

Obama is avid to get his disarmament plans thru so is neutering the spy story as quick as he can by making it a moral relativity issue (we have spies too), no doubt with input from Putin and Hillary Clinton.

SICK!!

Just a bit faster than he handled the trifling matters or Afganistan and Deepwater Horizon, eh? Like watching a reptile. No movement except the nictating membranes for days, then:

*snap!*

in the world of espionage—you never ever know for sure.

Perhaps 1 of these “russians” was flipped by the CIA and will now be a double-agent back in Russia.

the CIA knows that Russia has plenty more spies here and plenty more on the way.

That is the billion dollar question that scares me the most about Obama. Who REALLY is pulling his strings? he’s just a puppet.
