BURBANK, Calif. Vice President Joe Biden had to convince a skeptical Jay Leno on Friday that the United States didn't get a raw deal from Russia in the biggest spy swap since the Cold War.
Leno asked Biden during a taping of "The Tonight Show" why the U.S. was sending 10 accused spies back to Russia while getting only four in return.
"That doesn't seem fair," Leno said.
"We got back four really good ones," Biden reassured Leno. "And the ten, they've been here a long time, but they hadn't done much."

Informative post.
And thats the good deal??
The Russians wanted them out before they could point to other deep-cover agents and what they're up to. Obama was glad to give the Russians what they wanted, as usual.
And the joking shows just how serious the Obama Administration is about security.
bttt
Funny. Ha, ha.

“they’ve been here a long time, but they hadn’t done much”
I believe this describes Joe Biden perfectly. Too bad he wasn’t included in the swap.
Well, compared to the democrat party, these spies were amateurs.
“compared to the democrat party, these spies were amateurs.”
Well, it would have been nice if the entire Party were part of the trade. However, I can understand the Ruskies being hesitant to accept tens of millions of new “gimmegrants.”
I first learned that Biden was a moron by watching him during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings.
“these 4 were......wait for it......RUSSIANS”
Yes, I only saw a brief blurb on it too and I heard the same thing - that the “American Spies” were actually Russians that had previously cooperated with U.S. intelligence. The mainstream news outlets have been good at covering up Barry’s incompetence on this deal so it’s really unclear on who these people are. Seems the game plan is to cover up Barry’s incompetence by turning important issues into comedy sketches.
