MP caught in a honeytrap: Blonde 'spy' targeted womanising Lib Dem on trip to Russia
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 12:23 AM on 6th December 2010 | James Slack and Charlotte Gill

A womanising MP was targeted by a suspected Russian spy in a Moscow ‘honeytrap’ sting, Whitehall sources believe.

Liberal Democrat Mike Hancock, 64, was introduced to 25-year-old Katia Zatuliveter on one of his regular visits to the Eastern Bloc superpower.

He agreed to give a job and parliamentary pass to the blonde suspected agent – handing her at least three years’ access to official documents on defence policy.

Mr Hancock has also asked dozens of questions about nuclear weapons and other hugely sensitive defence topics to the point where responses by ministers were vetted by the security services.

Among them, he asked for the locations of berths for submarines, a request to publish an inventory of the country’s nuclear arsenal and when the next design review of the Trident warhead will take place.

Now, following the intervention of MI5, his glamorous aide is facing deportation on the grounds that her suspected espionage is not ‘conducive to national security’.

Yesterday it emerged that:

The suspected spy’s father and sister are both recruiting Russian students to come to Britain.

She almost won a post with a large UK defence organisation until British security officials warned the firm off.

MPs expressed alarm that she had got her job in the first place and appeared to have sidestepped vetting checks.

Security sources fear at least 20 similar spies could be working in Britain under false identities. The case mirrors that of 28-year-old Russian socialite Anna Chapman, who was arrested by the FBI in the summer and sent back to Russia. She had married a Briton and lived in London before moving to New York.

Whitehall officials insisted last night there was no threat to national security, but conceded that Miss Zatuliveter had access to information which is not available to the public.

I would like to know who honeytrapped Lindsey Graham into being a traitor to Republicans.

*********************

I think that is a principal function of the Bohemian Grove. Miss Lindsey probably did not need to be trapped.

Every time I went into the Soviet/Chicom Bloc in the old days, I hoped some sultry Mata Hari would target me in a “honeytrap” sting, but alas....

*****************

LOL! Same here. Instead it was just to get read the riot act by some rectangular shaped harridan in maroon hair over some minor infraction or another.

A beautiful woman has been the downfall of many a man since Menelaus launched the thousand ships to get his wife back from the Trojans.

Maybe she has a great personality. Or no teeth.

If you’ve met one Russian woman, you’ve met them all. Just don’t marry one. They have a strong will and a Western man is no match for a Russian honey.

That’s what this Brit found out fast.

As can be seen on this thread, where there are no comments about 'did she get her hands on the nuclear arsenal information he requested' or 'why is the old slimebag still in Parliament instead of Penitentiary'. Nope, it's all about 'how hot was the spy'. I blame James Bond.

We’v got a few Russian gold digger types where I work. They are charming while on the prowl but turn nasty and butt-ugly once they don’t get their way.

Not really. The fact is there are no secrets. About the only secrets that are kept, and not always either, are secrets about what we know and only for a few hours or days. It is silly that we spend the money we do to keep secret our satellite programs, yet, everyone that wants to know about them knows. Nuclear “secrets”? There are none. From at least Carter forward we have had enemies of the US working our most closely guarded nuclear secrets. I know a Palestinian that is a devout fanatical Muslim that seeks the destruction of the US and openly says so that helped design several nuclear weapons. I could go on and on but there are extremely few real secrets out there. The real purpose of classifications is to hide budgets and keep others from preying on them.

Yup. And when you share a bed with a woman, you tell her all your secrets and you discover she has still kept hers! So? Life isn’t fair.
