Ah yes, the classic overtly telling everyone that you are taking their information version of espionage!

Usually countries try to keep their spies in positions where they can continuing leaking information, and usually they try to hide the fact that they are obtaining the information. Anyone who thinks that this looks anything like espionage is either uninformed or a US government shill.

I didn't say anyone put him up to it. I'm saying that Russia has an incentive to get on his good side for the time being. He has information that they undoubtedly want and have probably been working to get their hands on.
