[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That story is completely bonkers.  So curious to know which country.[/quote]
One theory I saw was that it’s France, they cooperated with the investigation, and that’s why they were so pissed off about the Australian deal.[/quote]

But why send it to France in the first place? Seems more likely to be a country that’s not someone we would think of as a close ally but that’s close enough to turn him over to us.[/quote]

That country didn't turn him over. The idiot sent the package to an undercover U.S. FBI agent by mistake. Presumably someone with embassy connections or connected to it in some way.[/quote]

That is not how I read this story - from the Post:

[quote]The court papers say that in December 2020, [b]an FBI official received a package that had been sent to the foreign country[/b] containing U.S. Navy documents, a letter and instructions for how to conduct encrypted communications with the person offering the information.[/quote]

To me, that reads as the FBI was alerted by someone from the foreign country, not that the FBI initially intercepted the package. Russia would not turn this over to the FBI, but France, as an ally, would. [/quote]

NYT is explicitly reporting that the foreign country found it in their postal service and turned it over to an FBI legal attaché in the country.[/quote]
