76. I know why he was not allowed to board his flight to S.A. The US Government revoked his passport.

I'm not sure what your point is, you just repeated what I said.

However, if I were in charge of these matters and thought someone was a Russian Spy, the last place I would want to allow him to go to or stay in, would be the place where I thought he could do the most harm.

I would let him go on knowing that he would most likely be out of our reach either way. Better to keep him OUT of the country I thought he was working for.

So the only conclusion anyone can come to is that the US does not believe he is a spy. A claim never made by the Obama Administration.

Only morons like Rep. Rogers would make such a stupid claim, then run and hide when asked for proof. But then, he IS a Republican, what can we expect OTHER than lies and obfuscations.
