Anna Chapman
********************
and nine other Russian nationals were arrested on 27 June 2010, on suspicion of working for the Illegals Program spy ring under the Russian Federation’s external intelligence agency, the SVR (Sluzhba Vneshney Razvedki)
International exchange
******************************
After being formally charged enduring only a few days of jail time since their arrests in the United States; in prior cases, spies spent years behind bars before being exchanged. Chapman and nine other detainees became part of a spy swap deal between the United States and Russia, the biggest of its kind since 1986.
Questions
+++++++++
While the Russians had to give in exchange people who still had serious know-how about Russian intelligence and counterintelligence they seem to have gotten back a bunch of socialites, or have they?
Why was it necessary to Russians that Chapman and her friends will not be interrogated?
More importantly, why did the FBI agree to that?

At that time heading the state department was Mrs Clinton
Heading the FBI was now special prosecutor on Donald Trump Robert Muller

Alexander Zaporozhsky
——————————-
Is a former Colonel in Russia’s SVR. He was convicted of treason and given an 18-year prison sentence in 2003 for cooperation with the United States but was released in July 2010 as part of a spy swap for the 10 Russian agents arrested in the United States as part of the Illegals Program.
Sergei Skripal
——————
Skripal, who held the rank of colonel, was involved in military intelligence, although the details of his work have been withheld.[1] Some reports have speculated that he was associated with the FSB. According to Russian prosecutors, he began working for the United Kingdom’s MI6 intelligence agency in the late 1990s, while serving in the Russian Ground Forces. He was reportedly paid a large sum of money for giving away the identities of a number of Russian agents.[2]
In December 2004, Skripal was arrested. He was charged with “high treason in the form of espionage”, and was convicted. Prosecutors initially argued for fifteen years in prison — Skripal was eventually sentenced to thirteen, in recognition of his poor health and the fact that he co-operated with investigators. The affair was not revealed to the public until after he was sentenced August 2006.[3] Skripal’s lawyers have appealed the sentence.[4]
In July 2010 Skripal was released as part of a spy exchange for the 10 Russian agents arrested in the United States as part of the Illegals Program. [5][6]
