killerbee99 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Damn commies, trying to infiltrate our government.... WASHINGTON – Ten people have been arrested for allegedly serving as secret agents of the Russian government with the goal of penetrating U.S. government policymaking circles . The Justice Department announced the arrests Monday. According to court papers in the case, the U.S. government intercepted a message from Russian intelligence headquarters in Moscow to two of the defendants. The message states that their main mission is "to search and develop ties in policymaking circles in US" and send intelligence reports. The court papers cited numerous examples of communications intercepted by U.S. investigators that spelled out what the 10 allegedly were trying to do. One message back to Moscow from the defendants focused on turnover at the top level of the CIA and the 2008 U.S. presidential election. The information was described as having been received in private conversation with, among others, a former legislative counsel for Congress. The court papers deleted the name of the counsel.

visionary Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Yikes! How did we intercept their communications? In the spring of 2009, the documents say, the New Jersey conspirators, Richard and Cynthia Murphy, were asked by Moscow for information related to Obama's trip to Russia scheduled for that summer. This seems like an interesting time for this to come out, right after Obama's buddying it up with medvedev. Although I didn't really see anything too nefarious (as far as spying goes) among any of the stuff listed in this article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
