Actually, yes, I've got some good contacts as well in this regards (former CIA covert fellow who's now a novelist and blurbing my book/member of my sekrit club, plus Russia analyst Mark Adomanis - you may remember I told you I was on Russian TV couple weeks back) to quote regarding the obviousness of what's really going on here, and just got back from the gun range myself and at any rate know plenty of reasons why, from a weaponry standpoint, this is not the espionage case that certain outlets have assumed it to be. I'll put a call in to her lawyer; would be surprised if counsel would have her talk to the press insomuch as that she was clearly breaking the law, but I'll see what I can find out this afternoon.

She was almost certainly doing this so that her husband could resell them in Russia for a great deal more, either to a hunter or a hitman. There's zero reason for the Russian government to seek to acquire two or three of these particular scopes.
