Quietly let go.

A suspected Russian spy worked at the US embassy in Moscow for a decade before being quietly dismissed last year, reports said Thursday.
The woman, a Russian national, was hired by the Secret Service and came under suspicion following a routine security sweep carried out by the State Department, according to sources quoted by the Guardian, which broke the story, and CNN.
The probe found she was having regular unauthorized meetings with the main Russian intelligence agency, the FSB.
We figure that all of them are talking to the FSB, but she was giving them way more information than she should have,” an official told CNN.
The woman had access to the Secret Service’s intranet and email systems, the reports said, giving her a window into potentially sensitive data including the schedules of the US president and vice president.
But “she did not have access to highly classified information,” the source told CNN.
