The U.S. and Russia are staging their own game, minus the music.
CNN reports that after pleading guilty in a New York federal court on Thursday ten Russian spies will be deported to their home country. Each suspect pleaded guilty to failing to register as federal agents, prompting the release of a plea deal between the United States and Russia.
In exchange for their return to Russia, four Russian prisoners who allegedly spied for the United States will be returned to America. A Justice Department letter obtained by CNN read that those four individuals had already served a number of years in prison, and that the Russian government “agreed to release the Russian prisoners and their family members for resettlement.”
