Sometimes you have to take a step back and try to look at this stuff with year-2000 eyes (if you dare, with your 1980 eyes).

NBD, just a Russian spy posing for photos with a bunch of national-stage Republican politicians.

So what does this mean? Does she stay here and go to jail or is she expelled back to Russia?

I am not sure that Maria will be looking forward to going home to Mother Russia any time soon.

The best part about a conspiracy is the co-conspirators.

Sometimes even the unindicted ones.

But in a surprising turnaround for the gun-toting Siberia native, she has struck a deal to cooperate with federal investigators.

Does she remain jailed? If she's freed it would take all of a couple hours for her to walk into the Russian Embassy and there goes your cooperation agreement.

Manafort, Flynn, Cohen, Pecker, and now, Butina all wrapped up. The dominos have started to fall and they won’t stop until the President and all his men are torn asunder.

If she’s cooperating, I’d assume she gets to stay for now. After that, ironically enough, she may need to request asylum from an Administration that hates the very idea of asylum.

With individual 1 (torshin) either dead or exiled, i wonder if butina will want political asylum as part of the plea/cooperation agreement in exchange for throwing erikson under the bus?

Shit if you were her would you want to return to russia? Or if she stayed here would there be a price on her head…
