Russian woman charged with spying in the US

BBC-

The US government has charged a 29-year-old Russian woman with conspiracy to act as a Russian government agent while infiltrating political groups.

Maria Butina had developed close ties with the Republican party and had become an advocate for gun rights, according to US media reports.

The charges are not related to the Mueller probe that is examining alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

She allegedly worked at the direction of a high-level Kremlin official.

Ms Butina’s attorney Robert Driscoll said in a statement released on Monday that his client was “not an agent” and instead just an international relations student “who is seeking to use her degree to pursue a career in business”.

He added the charges were “overblown” and there was “no indication of Butina seeking to influence or undermine any specific policy or law or the United States”.

  1. Another well-timed patsy. Amazing. And these people are shocked that Trump doesn’t rubber-stamp their scam.

    Here’s a clue for the Deep State: “The Snake” is not just about illegals. Trump is not going to help you take him down.

  2. This is all alleged? Wow. So she may or may not have been trolling groups of people? Lock her ass up before she trolls again. This is serious!

    Does it bother Mueller that antifa is hanging out with jihadis at all? And that some of the Dems in Congress are waving around antifa manuals, how about that?

  3. Countries spying on each other?
    Attempting to influence each other?

    Oh! The humanity!

    Say it ain’t so!

    Sorry. I take the Treasons of the Clintons, McConnell, Ryan, Gruber, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, McCaskill, Obola, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, et.al., far more seriously – they are the much greater threat.
