Power and Stupidity go hand in hand. Lib. MP Mike Hancock was victim of Russian spy 'honeytrap'

Didn't Hancock ever look in the mirror at his old mug and physique and say, 'there is something fishy here'?
Power and ego equal stupid on both sides of the Atlantic.

MI5 officer says MP Mike Hancock was victim of Russian spy 'honeytrap' - Telegraph
By , and Duncan Gardham 19 Oct 2011
The female officer, referred to only as ZZ, said MI5 believed Ekaterina “Katia” Zatuliveter was “directed by the Russian Intelligence Service” to begin a sexual relationship with the married 65-year-old, who gave her a job as his researcher. ...

...Officer ZZ also compared Miss Zatuliveter to Anna Chapman, the Russian spy who married a Briton before she was deported from the US last year, saying both were “young and adept networkers”.

Miss Zatuliveter, who denies being a spy, is appealing against the Home Secretary’s decision to deport her on the grounds that her presence was “not conducive to national security”.

Asked what her understanding of a honeytrap was, ZZ said: “The use of a sexual relationship by RIS to gather intelligence, entrap or encourage people to co-operate with them.”

ZZ was asked about a diary kept by Miss Zatuliveter in which she described her “love” for Mr Hancock, and about “fairly tempestuous exchanges” between Mr Hancock and the Russian as recently as last week.

Mr Owen said it was clear that there was: “A genuine feeling between Miss Zatuliveter and Mr Hancock, however distasteful the Security Service may find the idea of a sexual relationship between a younger woman and an older man.”
