Not working.
Clearly that reset button wasn’t pushed down hard enough. The Justice Department just announced that ten Russian agents have been arrested for spying on the United States. Ah, Russia, our friend and ally. That Smart Power™ thing is working great.
Update: Ah, here we go.
WASHINGTON (AP) – The Justice Department says 10 Russian intelligence officers have been arrested for allegedly serving as illegal agents of the Russian government in the United States.
Eight of the people were arrested Sunday for allegedly carrying out long-term, deep cover assignments in the United States on behalf of Russia.
In other words, these weren’t a bunch of punks who were hacking computers and sending the information back to their chat room buddies. They were sanctioned agents of the Russian government, carrying out spy operations under deep cover.
Update X2: The Wall Street Journal reports that 11 individuals have been arrested totally, though 10 in the last few days.
