    I mean, who among us hasn't occasionally had some divided loyalties, falsified our employment history, and gotten arrested in a foreign country to provide a convenient pretext for getting a spy out of another country? Be honest.https://twitter.com/juliettekayyem/status/1081039518046871552 …

    Whelan consistently altered his resume (he was crossing guard), got discharged from Marines, Russophile and MAGAphile, multiple country ties/citizenship. This is getting very very odd. https://twitter.com/juliaioffe/status/1081012720554643457 …

        Putting aside Whelan’s weirdness (at best), I don’t see how his arrest could be a pretext to return Butina to Russia. She is charged in a federal court and a federal judge has jurisdiction over her case. Trump lacks the authority to send her back to Russia. #SeparationOfPowers

        Nope. The decision whether to prosecute lies within the Executive Branch and Trump's foreign relations powers are virtually unfettered. Obama did it in 2010.

        Then why is it said that Mueller can insulate his prosecutions from being stopped by Trump/Whitaker by filing sealed indictments so that a federal court has jurisdiction? Did the Obama example involve a Russian who was charged in federal court?

        I think it is a matter of Butina being a foreign national.

        The core of it is not to prevent prosecution/conviction. The aim is to give an out, to prevent co-operation. Convict. Pardon. Swap.

        Thank you! When I suggest that this is all a bit too convenient for the Kremlin, I’m understandably dismissed as having read too many spy novels. Good to hear it spoken aloud by a credible professional. At the very least, he is a polezni durak, but he could be much more

        I think we all better start thinking like a spy novel. Because this infiltration on behalf of Russia is huge & there are, apparently, no end of Americans willing to sell out to Russia

        They’re so far along the continuum, they think selling out to Russia makes them patriots.

        My other thought, other than Butina swap strategy, is that this may be a useful way of continued private communications between Putin/Trump. Seems like it would provide easy cover for passing info back and forth, no? Mueller, hope you’re on this and hold my same gut feelings.

        Tradecraft ain't what it used to be. Spies were people we could aspire to. Men & women like Aldrich Ames, Elizabeth Bentley or Robert Baer. Now it's more like Emmett Fitz-Hume and Austin Millbarge from Spies Like Us. This guy's a Trump/Putin fan and is taking one for the team?
