The Russians spies, according to the FBI complaint, were tasked with developing sources in government, the business community and academia who could provide secrets and other information useful to Moscow.

The criminal complaint stated that in February 2009 a New Jersey-based Russian, who posed as Cynthia Murphy and was later identified as SVR officer Lydia Guryev, met several times with a "prominent New York-based financier" who was active in politics and a "active fundraiser" for a "major political party, name omitted." He also was described as a "personal friend of [a current Cabinet official, name omitted]."

"We will get no additional insights or information from them," said Rep. Peter Hoekstra

This swap wasn't even approved by Obamah, but he was informed we were told.

There is something wrong when The President isn't the one making Spy-Swat decisions.

Obamah is a do-nothing President, prefers to delegate everything because he is an Havard Educated idiot!

From MSNBC making these “spies” look like total jokes, to the way they were quickly released...something stinks about this entire thing.

“We gave up the opportunity,” he said. “Now that these people are out of the country, it’s game off, not game on. We will get no additional insights or information from them.”

That was exactly the point. Never forget that the Clintons are radical leftists. Obama is an in-your-face Marxist revolutionary, but the Clinton’s policies would not be much different than his.

Nice to know that government can move very quickly in important matters like returning Russian spies to the Motherland or painting over American flags by the roadside.
