does it add up that he would have been outed? is this just the russians making a decision, that it would be standard, they would know? or is this something where the cia may have somehow dropped the ball? >> well, they know who he was for sure. i mean, it's hard to conceal this. you know, with big data, and the rest of it. the question is, why did they make it so public? and the second question is, why was the trade craft, in this arrest of fogel a couple days ago, so awful? none of this makes any sense to me. anyone who's served behind the iron curtain, as we used to call it, would have never considered of the wigs, the compass, the maps. we were assigned to moscow, the first month you spend learning the streets, by memory. you don't have to carry a map around. you don't carry a compass. that's just silly. which makes me wonder if the russians didn't plant all of this. which they could have. and also, erin, you don't recruit in russia.
