Discussion: Agent, Operative, Plant, Spy? What To Call Mariia Butina

One of Putin’s lovers. She is special, his kind of woman.

Based on the skimpy evidence that she referred to him in one of the communiques as “my dear President” - not a salutation, it was a reference.

I’m more concerned about which epithet fits Trump…That would be all of them, Katie.

– Plant Spy. Call Agent Butina.
– What?
– Operative Mariia. To discuss.

Sometimes being silly is the best.

After reading the explanations from Zeldin and the other experts, I’d call Butina an asset, but in the past I have called her both a spy and an agent. Of course, we don’t yet know her full story, but I’m thrilled she connects the NRA with the Russians.

I wonder if witness protection would be available for her. We’ve done it with Russian defectors.

What about infiltrator?

Nathan Lane, good choice. I bet he makes the best use of the material available.

BORE Hunter

I didn’t know she killed animals till I saw the hunting porn above. That would make her even more attractive to Putin.

He also needs a better wardrobe if there are any further TV gigs. That jacket is worse than bad. It’s probably been in his closet since the 1970’s.

Butins was lobbying officials and influencers on behalf of Russia… For this to be legal, she had to register. She did not. All of this is already known. She’s already looking at years of jail time even if she wasn’t trying to spy out military secrets.

I’d say that “honeypot” is just the variety of asset that she was.
