Well, It’s a Start
Maria Butina, a 29 year old Russian national, “was charged in federal court in Washington Monday with conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian Federation.”
Butina is accused of developing relationships with American politicians and a “gun rights organization,” none of which are named in the affidavit supporting the criminal complaint. FBI Special Agent Kevin Helson wrote that Butina was attempting to “establish a ‘back channel’ communication for representatives of the Government of Russia.”
Yeah, the gun rights organization was the NRA. The “American politicians” have not been named, but I’d be willing to bet that Devin Nunes is one of them. That would explain a lot of his crazy behavior.
She testified before the Senate intelligence committee several months ago behind closed doors. Her lawyer says that she’s been cooperating.
She is being held without bond. Maybe for her own safety?
Here’s a Facebook picture of her.
Thanks to Scott for the heads up.
Doesn’t look like she’s from Russia with love.
1How long until that gun rights organization changes their name to the more proper and descriptive “Russian Rifle Association.”
2Nunes, Rohrabacher, McConnell, Lyin’ Ryan to name only a few of the likely suspects that have earned the Nixon Title of unindicted co-conspirators along with Donnie’s campaign staff, family members and maladministration. And, organizations such as the NRA, certain data groups, etc.
Turning to the covfefe translator for new terms and phrases added to the legal dictionary. “appearance of wrong doing” = unwitting idiots; looking at you Carter Page and Sam Nunberg. “consciousness of guilt” = they did it and are willing to commit more crimes to cover up their various and nefarious activities; ie Paul Manafort, Mike Flynn, Donnie, Dimwit Jr., Jughead Kushner, … oh noes, the covfefe translator is on fire, yet it continues to spit out reams of paper contributing to its own fiery demise.
3“Her lawyer says that she’s been cooperating.”
If Trump is going to make this carpet-bomb pardon thing work for him, he better up the ante. Something like:
The Presidential Clearinghouse Pardon Sweepstakes.
You get a pardon, AND a million bucks or two, or three…

Cory Heidelberger posted this in March of 2017. Remember everybody’s favorite fascist black ex sheriff from Milwaukee County, David Clarke? He took a trip to Moscow last year paid for by Butina’s front group. Hmmmmm? More collusion.
5Cory takes a well deserved bow- http://dakotafreepress.com/2018/07/16/doj-charges-dustys-tar-camp-speaker-maria-butina-with-conspiracy-to-act-as-russian-agent/
Cory scooped MSM.
6Maria Butina should not fear being killed by the KGB (or whatever TLA organization the KGB became in the 1990s) with firearms. KGB et al will kill her with polonium 210 just like they killed Alexander Litvinenko in London. So if Dmitry Kovtun or Andrey Lugovoy offers you a diet Coke Maria, you might oughta just say “No, thanks!”.
7And what about the 2 translators from the meeting with Vlad the Donnie Impaler?
8I wouldn’t loan them any money.
I hear this gal dubbed herself a “grad student” when she arrived in this country. Speaking for anyone who has ever been a grad student,m including myself, I say “AWWWK!”
9Keep in mind “agent” is a blanket legal term. She’s charged with being an unregistered lobbyist, the same thing Flynn was charged with.
