Some people think that when you walk out the door of your gov job you can not be charged with a crime.
Prosecutors said the 73-year-old former employee, George Trofimoff, a naturalized American citizen whose parents were Russian emigres, was arrested at a hotel in Tampa, Fla., and charged with passing the documents to a childhood friend, a prominent Russian Orthodox priest who had recruited him for the K.G.B.

Yes, it was a good case, and in another thread we were talking about people walking out the door and not having to pay the price for their crime. This case shows you do pay.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - Ah, ok, I must have missed the other thread. It's good that they tracked the guy down in this case, but the sad truth is that a lot of people don't pay. Heck, you now have liberal judges walking suspects out the back door or setting insanely low bails for illegals just so they won't get deported.

Slime doesn't pay. Glad they got him, no matter when it was. There have been so many that have done great damage over the years. Without getting into sex offenders or those that harm or abduct children - and of course the usual murderers and rapists - a traitor is about as low as it gets in my book. They need to lock them up and throw away the key, unless they flip and work some of it off. I'd never fully trust anyone that did flip or go double though, because if they were weak enough to do it once they are suspect thereafter. Most anyone can be trained to beat a lie detector - unless there is new technology that the public is not aware of - and it would be hard to know if a double is truly loyal for that reason. Thanks for sharing.
