Absolutely crazy story: Spain expels two U.S. agents stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Madrid for bribing agents from Spain’s CNI intelligence service in order to infiltrate it.

Most tragicomic aspect of the report is this:
"The case is a very serious matter, since recruiting secret agents of a host state to betray their own country is considered an openly hostile act. Such actions may be taken with enemy or adversary governments, but never with friends and allies. Sources from the Spanish intelligence service do not fully understand what happened. 'What do Americans have to pay for if we give them everything they ask for?' they noted. These sources insist that Spain openly collaborates with the United States, and always exchanges information. According to these sources, the number of times in which Spain has refused to share information of interest to Washington is 'between one and zero.'"
Not sure whether to laugh or cry...
And the most eyebrows-raising aspect of the report is this:
"The U.S. ambassador allegedly claimed that the U.S. agents who had bribed the Spanish spies were working independently of her, in a program that was launched before current President Joe Biden arrived at the White House and that, for reasons unknown, had been maintained until now."
