Seems that a coupla guys were buying stuff for Secret Service folks?
 
Couldn't possibly be either Russian or Ukrainian, right?

IF their names are any guide both their names are middle eastern

Did a quick google

Where Does The Last Name Taherzadeh Come From? The surname Taherzadeh occurs in Iran more than any other country/territory.

And you can probably figure out Ali

My computer, or the link itself, does this annoying thing where it updates the article as I read it.  I came to the bottom of the piece and the last sentence said "four secret service agents were put on administrative leave as part of the investigation".  Then that line disappeared when it updated.  I don't know if that means they were suspected of being influenced, which is very concerning, or they were leading the suspects into believing they were available for a price.

Update

Quote
One of two men accused of posing as federal law enforcement employees and ingratiating themselves with Secret Service agents had visas for travel to Iran and Pakistan, and told others that he had ties to Pakistan’s intelligence service, a federal prosecutor alleged Thursday.

The same Pakistani intelligence that provided cover and a safe house for Osama Bin Laden, I wonder.
