To bad those Russians did not aply to be refuges , They than would have been paid by the US government to learn how the system works here in america . learning the ways things are done in the USA is indeed a very big and dangerous crime . I dont know how we can let those sneaky Russian get by for only 10 yrs prison ? But Russia is one of those countries that we want to have for a enemy isn't it ? they must be Chrisrtians like the Serbs ?

These poor people are pawns....No doubt a this was a conservative , rogue operation designed to make Obama look bad for consorting with Russians....If these 'Intelligence' spooks were serious about saving the US from the Russians , they would have busted these so-called 'spies' before the Obama/Medvedev summit...I doubt Obama even knew about this operation.

I guess the "doubt that this was a rogue operation" will come during the trial in which the FBI will be presenting a considerable amount of evidence (if the complaint filings are anything to go by) - this includes video and audio of the individuals in question meeting people registered as officials of the Russian government. Apparently, Obama had been informed by the time he had the now famous burger breakfast with Medvedev. Both sides have stated this will not affect relations. Given that the FBI has made some effort to avoid naming any Russian officials in the complaint filings, it seems likely that the US government are trying to limit the impact to those people actually arrested.

this is nothing but major provocation ...I doubt presiden Obama even knew about this operation.

1. @JG...Oh yeah...stating this is an FBI operation makes it more legit...The FBI is notorious for its high profile 'pet' projects....Hoover started the FBI as vehicle for his personal vendettas during a time increasingly similar to our own, the great depression...The FBI started as a substitute for the Pinkertons & transformed into an organization to stamp out Communism in the US....The FBI re-invents itself every 30 years or so...Maybe we're seeing another one. 2. Just like the mouthpiece of America, all the major TV networks mention 'taped' evidence but the charges are obscure...Were these people trafficking in hi-tech or weapons or drugs or human slavery? There are plenty of Russian mafia types responsible for these crimes but I don't see the FBI near that...Not enough publicity. . 3. ..So...Obama was informed as he took his 1st bite out of his egg McMuffin...That's awkward...Or perhaps he knew about this as he was setting up Medvedev..That's sneaky & in bad faith....Hopefully, (& what I think), it's the former
