^^ Was the money in question taxed? I seriously doubt it. Once the liberals here and elsewhere figure that out, this incident will take on heightened significance!

What does taxation have to do with anything? They were spying for a foreign government, common sense suggests that its poor opsec to report clandestine payments for tax purposes.

Please check any of the following that apply:

[ ] Did you have any uncompensated business expenses? (ex: shoe phones, cyanide pills, laser watches, car rentals)
[ ] Did you use your own equipment during a business related event? (ex: laptops, phones, throwing knives)
[ ] Do you have any large sums of money you are hiding from the us government?
[ ] Are you sure?
[ ] Cause you know we'll find it if you're lying right?
[ ] Alright, if you say so.

^^ First, I was half-joking.

Second, I realize that you may be trolling, but you really didn't think that one through, did you? Prosecutors often bring down drug dealers and mob types through tax evasion charges.

Third, I'm not jumping up and down and screaming about the spy incident in question--and my posts show this. But I do think that some of you are being entirely too dismissive concerning the significance of this incident--and what we don't know.

It is serious. It shows the russians can't be trusted. can't be trusted to place long-term moles without getting caught that is. You see, our moles don't get caught. that's why we're better than they are.

Still, lets' not forget to credit the Obama Administration for protecting our national security interests. And note that the Bush Administration failed for 8 years to detect any of this.

All they're being charged with is money laundering and being unregistered agents of a foreign government. The reason why nobody gives a shit is because, as spies go, they're incompetent. Invisible ink? Really??

They receive Russia's highest state honors/medals at the Kremlin by the President... including the chick Anna, who many said was just a minor player.

Quote :

"And today she was handed a top state medal by Kremlin president Dmitry Medvedev for her espionage work in the West. She is believed to be one of the youngest people ever to receive such an award. Nine other agents thrown out of America with her accused of spying for Russia were also awarded highest honours at the ceremony. A Kremlin statement marked the first unequivocal official admission from Moscow that Chapman was definitely an employee of Russian foreign intelligence when she was thrown out of America. 'A ceremony took place in the Kremlin today to hand top state honours to a number of Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) employees, including the spies who were working in the United States and returned to Russia in July,' said Kremlin spokeswoman Natalya Timakova."

Quote :

"Before today's ceremony, espionage experts in the East and West raised doubts as to whether Chapman was in fact a fully fledged agent who conducted heroic work for the Russian state. There were claims the glamorous socialite - whose semi-naked pictures were sold by her ex-husband after her arrest in New York - was in reality only a minor player unwittingly caught in the spy scandal. Today’s award by President Medvedev removes any doubt. Moscow now admits she was a fully-fledged spy worthy of one of the highest honours Russia can bestow. This may renew interest in Chapman’s activities during the six or so years she lived in Britain. So far no evidence has emerged that she was spying during this period but she is known to have spent far longer in London than New York. Unlike the other spies, Chapman has had a high public profile since returning to Russia."

But mainly, this:

"Top Russian spy defects after betraying ring in U.S. MOSCOW (Reuters) – The head of Russia's deep cover U.S. spying operations has betrayed the network and defected, a Russian paper said on Thursday, potentially giving the West one of its biggest intelligence coups since the end of the Cold War. The newspaper, Kommersant, identified the man as Colonel Shcherbakov and said he was responsible for unmasking a Russian spy ring in the United States in June whose arrests humiliated Moscow and clouded a "reset" in ties with Washington. The betrayal would make Shcherbakov one of the most senior turncoats since the fall of the Soviet Union and could have consequences for Russia's proud Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) and its chief, former Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov. ..."

economic power trumps dick slinging???? Welcome to the the late 20th century 21st century.

This will be the first and last time I'll ever link to the AEI

But the gist is pertinent. Circa 1985 the price of oil cratered and that was eventually a significant factor in the collapse of the Soviet Union. Putin has to start making deals, OR ELSE......

Where are the conservative Putin Apologists now?

Fuck it, either the race will be on to flip on him or they'll hide the egg on their face by beating the "See! it was Amurican OIL that beat these commies! USA!! USA!1!" drum.
