Interesting that the house intell. committee refused Dem. requests to interview Butina and Erickson (as an overweight old Repub. he should have know an attractive Russian was just using him).

Goes far beyond "not registering as a foreign agent"

was she charged with using overweight old republicans?

Paul...I'm reading what she's charged with and accused of and while I think she should answer for whatever she's done...I don't see some big national security threat...Spence would say "she has an impressive resume"(sarcasm)...it does however, give the media and the left the opportunity to scream "RUSSIAN SPY"

yes, I am aware that the media and democrats were more interested in Versace and Di than chinese communists infiltrating and influencing the White House :scream::scream:
The point is that you did another whatabout, but didn't tell the rest of the story. That if something happened the media did not bring their A game to that show. Now the complaint is that they are looking at the current Russia issues.

That article also says:

Also in the photo: Alexander Torshin, who is not named in court filings but is the "Russian official" who gave Butina orders as part of the conspiracy, according to The New York Times

Also - "prosecutors who argued that Butina represented an “extreme” risk of flight from the country."

They can add charges at any time so wanted to keep her here bf she left the country.

Also - "prosecutors who argued that Butina represented an “extreme” risk of flight from the country." so I was right "probably so she doesn't leave the country"

ok....

the point is that the gov. has other concerns besides "she's accused of not registering as a foreign agent" as you said. That may be the tip of the iceburg.

They outed her with a lesser charge so the NSA can intercept the frenzy of communication that will follow.

"outed" her???...she testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee in closed session several months ago....she was subject of an FBI raid in April.......I think the last straw was when she posed with the cowboy hat and hand gun :rotf2:

her lawyer...

"We've been trying to work something out, unsuccessfully, with the government, who seems intent on pressing forward with incarceration, notwithstanding, you know, a pretty weak case," Driscoll said Monday.

again...if she did something she was not supposed to be doing...bring the hammer...but good grief....get a grip

Gotcha

It is an interesting story - wonder where it leads.

One thing is for ABSOLUTE CERTAIN!!! Obama's Russian Spies were much hotter than Trumps

And yet the US Government basically just charged her with espionage.

You’re becoming quite the Russia appologist these days. What does Putin have on you?
