Just in case anyone had any remaining doubts about whether she was SVR or just some random woman associated with a random oligarch.

And just in case anyone still had those doubts after reading Julia Ioffe’s 2012 story about her encounter with her in Moscow.

Oh well, I’m sure there are lots of ways for a Moscow girl to become an expert with a pistol in Russia and end up starting a Russian “gun rights” group that just happens to meet in a former KGB range and just happens to mostly be populated by ex-intel guys.

“Driscoll argued in court that she did not pose a flight risk because she had chosen to stay in the country even as details of the influence operation she engaged in on behalf of senior Russian official Alexander Torshin were published in the press over the past year and a half.”

Raging hubris, actually, but you really can’t blame her. Blatant treason is all the rage these days. Who KNEW this would actually get her in trouble.

Oh, and I LOVE this:
“Other details included in the document include requests that “U.S. Person 1” complete her schoolwork because her grad school attendance was a “cover,”

So much for the 4.0 that her lawyer was blathering about. Too bad US Person 1 didn’t try thinking with his brain outside the classroom.

Wonder who else she offered her services to? We may have just located the real reason the GOP is trying desperatly to shut down Mueller🤣

Can’t wait for KellyAnn to come to her rescue.

So now having sex is illegal? Lots of grad students have sex. Apparently, liberals don’t think people should have sex anymore.
