#RussianSpies #Hawaii #News
Can someone check Tucker Carlson- he is very suspicious and claiming Putin is our friend 😂
So our system and government does what?
They at a black site getting tore apart with mental and physical torture 👌🏾
So I’m gathering that the USA is infiltrated by foreign powers? We just caught these people I mean, who is to say there’s more not caught?
🤡😂
wow…. like a 1940’s, 50’s movie 😨😮
Lol us is a joke
Meat hooks in the public square
How coincidental that this comes at the same time as Brittney Griner languishes in jail in Russia! I’d say that the authorities have been keeping them on their radar for years and have now decided to use them as leverage since they’re plainly not going to release the guy the Kremlin want in a prisoner exchange with Griner!
I smell the need for hostage exchanges.
Republicans are helping them
Well they learned we have more concerns for the lgbt them anything else of actual importance. We are no threat to anyone they told their comrades
Dude looks almost like Sam the Cooking Guy lol
are they russian?! do they even remember being spies. take them to bingo night and make them sit there every tues, weds, fri, & sat’s until they’ve learned their lesson.
Nothing new here.
Spies should be shot.
you’re telling me nobody knew that a woman who called herself julie montague was pretending to be someone else??
Breaking everything. Yup. America!
A lot of intelligence to be gathered in Hawaii. 😂 Why aren’t they in DC?
Now we have two Russian Spies that we can trade for the WNBA Player and the Marine.
Okay… that’s a lot of B.S.
In the pictures you can see them both wearing the same exact (mens) uniform in the same exact pose in the same exact spot. They likely bought the cover and jacket somewhere and thought it’d be fun.
Yes, they lived lives impostors, but there’s no record of them having done any wrongdoing aside that. Also, the guy served honorably, in the USCG as an AET. Sorry, AETs are not normally privy to anything super sensitive. He worked on Search and Rescue helicopters, not some secret weapons.
A judge will decide if they get bond? Of course they should not be allowed Bond. If they are allowed Bond I will lose all faith in the justice system. That is if the evidence they have against them is very strong then giving blonde is ridiculous, if it’s a bunch of baseless accusations and it’s political in nature lying about them like lying about Trump, then I would say give them Bond all day
Wow😳
So both are wearing the same exact same uniform tunic and hat? I’d argue that is it was just a costume if I were them.
Adoptees have to worry about this type of thing at least twice as much because of name changes.
Wow, served 22 years. Nothing gets past the u.s. government
1 way ticket to a small bay of the coast of cuba… ;p
Hawaii? How do people still afford to live there?
The merchant of death followers😂💯
There is more nazis doing more wrong then anybody else ext!..
Wasn’t this an episode of Hawaii Five-O?
Jesus.
What about the thousands of Chinese spies?
Hang em high.
They got buddies next door too thats the funny part
We have been infiltrated by the Russians and the Chinese since 1979, now we know what we going to do about it???
We’ve known for over 50 years.
This is standard spycraft from the days before computers, false identity 101. Paper records were difficult to track, easy to falsify, often destroyed.
Are we in the 1950s?
Like the movie SALTS…
MSM reporting on this. Can you really trust the things they do tell u anymore? I hate to say it but it needs ro be said that this is all hopefully the legit case against this couple. 22 years and they were retired and living in Hawaii…sounds like they may have defected. Hopefully the facts are legit.
Let’s put in perspective neighbors are always shocked. Just like when people die people always say that they were normal. We have no idea what’s in each others minds it’s just crazy … It’s always been that way in the past present and will always be in the future.
Oahu has got to be a large target for espionage. Every branch of the military has intelligence facilities and the island is covered in bases. This could be much bigger than just these two.
That’s pretty crazy. Who knows what sensitive information they could have been relaying or what sabotage they have committed.
I LIKE HOW THEY PIECED RANDOM VIDEO SHOTS TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME COUPLE THE WHOLE TIME. THE FIRST CASUALTY OF WAR IS THE TRUTH.
Actually they are Republicans.
War with Russia!!
How can anyone sit back and think “Russia isn’t our enemy” ?
Wonder who they voted for?
man just never know what’s gonna be next
They look better than my next door neighbors!
My neighbors are hypocrite, they say hi. How are you but their
heart is not sincere, and they say: We are good Cristian’s, we
love JESUS 🤣🤣Be careful my friends! Not all that glitters is gold.✝✝🙏🙏
Why is the reporter standing in a dark kitchen?
Lol
1:33
The crime is how is it possible for that paperwork to be forwarded or even ascertainable? Those social security numbers for those birth certificates and those names would show no work history that is how you know it is a child under the age of 18. These are done with payoffs on the inside as they are dirty workers working for the state that push these paperwork forward for a bribe
Big dose of non-news since we didn’t learn anything‼️®™️😡😡😡
They’re not the only ones
They nade alot of money as GS employees. Lots of money. Jesus
I don’t think it should’ve taken 22 years to catch them. Lol That’s a lot of intel they got.
Price for Brittany grinder just went up 😂😂😂😂😂
2 more Russian ‘ spies ‘ to trade for Griner.
Lock em up
You spend your entire life serving a communist government while benefitting the lifestyle, freedom and comfort of a democratic country.
Isn’t espionaje punishable by death?!
Do
You know how many spy’s are in the USA that we don’t know about
But what kind of secrets could they be telling Russia how America’s are Lazy lmao
How did they get caught
I got dibs on their house 🏡😂
cmon yall, them be Madison Cawthornes In Laws……..
Capital punishment
Hmm
The Americans… I miss that series
Reminds me of the series “The Americans”
DISGUSTING!!!
Imagine how many have not been caught, yet, if EVER!
Dog the Bounty Hunter figured it out…….Bruhhh
Oh y’all thought sleeper cells were just a movie thing? Lmao
How much have we lost as these spies did their work against us?
High treason at the least….
China and Russia use foreign exchange students to spy on us as well
Lmao why tf aren’t they put on expedited death row asap?? Wow
Those two were photographed using the same uniform 40 years ago – like Prince Harry wearing a NAZI uniform. They said it was a halloween thing. Impersonating a dead child is a totally separate matter.
Trump would pardon them if elected.
Philip and Elizabeth Jennings!
are called silent cells from soviet era, they get in disguise for decades, it’s possible they were not more active.
there a beautiful movie with kevin kostner which play a russian agent which got in department of defence.
watch the movie no way out
Life in prison
Firing squad
Little Nikita!?!
Team Russia 🇷🇺 💪🏽
Better break thru every wall, look under the house and dig up the backyard.
What a joke
Russia, Russia, Russia! Trump is a Russian agent. The CIA’s John Brennan and FBI Director James Comey said so. When Rachel Madow releases Trump’s tax return the truth will come out. These folks in Hawaii are only Trump campaign workers.
Russia Russia Russia
GREAT SECURITY CLEARENCE …AND HES RETIRED, LIVING ON A GOVERNMENT PENSION WE PAY HIM…..WOW….DONT WE LOOK STUPID..I wonder if he’s still getting his retirement checks, lol
I guess the Cold War never stopped for the russians.
They wanted it back, they will get it again.
congress phony, Ilham omar did worse than that..Lied about her name, married her brother, immigration fraud, gave information to the enemy, tax fraud, welfare fraud.. proven voter fraud.. Will they go get her? Or even investigate?
Russian spies in Congress? Never can be to sure
Free them lol
Wtffff i could barely get a ss card for my actual identity how do these dirtbags get away with this?!
Why doesn’t this happen to Trump.
If convicted then both can be executed because treason comes with death penalty or basically be put in a isolated hole for the rest of their lives with no privileges or contact to the outside world.
