Let's be honest... Calling this dude a "spy" is generous. More of just "an idiot". Hope he enjoys looking at a brick wall in Florence, Colorado for the rest of his life 🤷
2021-11-02 13:59:06 +0000 UTCThere also could be an American agent in a key position in country #1 who sat on this information without letting other individuals in country #1 know. It could have taken 9 months to safely let the US know of this wanna be spy or to get safely get out of country #1 before this guy was nabbed.

2021-10-11 21:44:35 +0000 UTCExactly. He could not follow his on terms on the face of opportunity, and got rightfully bitten in ass.

2021-10-11 21:42:08 +0000 UTCJapan? India? Israel? It must be a country that deemed it more beneficial to help the US catch the spy (for good bilateral relations and a maintained global naval balance) than to risk stealing the secrets for themselves. Japan has said it's willing to build nuclear submarines, and India is already building, so it makes sense that he would try to sell to one of them. I don't think he would risk selling to a NATO country.
2021-10-11 19:15:02 +0000 UTCHang them. This was not their first rodeo selling the same critical info. “Country 1”, maybe UK, Israel, or France are the second fiddles. This Rosenberg like couple already sold these out to China, Russia. And likely to supposed “friendly” countries. IMO, the FBI, USN, will hide the expansive role of these traitors. Make faux claims this was it. This could make the Walker traitor clan look like chumps in comparison.

2021-10-11 14:23:21 +0000 UTCInteresting that they successfully contacted COUNTRY1 only to be snitched on to the FBI attaché months later. I wonder if their experts looked at the data on the SD and found it to be useless or maybe they were worried it was a set up.
