Mariia Butina arrived in Moscow, Russia on Saturday following her deportation and 18-month stint in prison for her failure to register as a foreign agent.
And did we ever learn whether it was coincidence that Trump called on her at FreedomFest and had a ready answer to her question? Or is the answer to my question self-evident?
Must love long walks on the beach -with guns. Romantic candlelight dinners -with guns. And, oh yeah, undermining America’s national security. Guns optional for that one.
Guessing it’s good stuff. She created an incredible amount of chaos across a wide swathe of the landscape. And now nobody knows who’s doing stuff because of Russian bucks. Pretty sure that suits Putin just fine. Might well have been the mission in the first place.
Don’t drink any polonium, Maria, and stay away from balconies above the ground floor.
Of course, her experience makes her too valuable to burn her, so she’ll get advanced training and be put in charge of bigger projects (unless she’s been turned, which I doubt). Putin’s house of cards is build on cheap oil and gas, lots of preening and posing, and dirty tricks. Just like the GOP.
Yeah. I don’t know that she is/was an especially gifted agent. It’s just that her marks were so greedy, so venal and corrupt, they were ripe for the pickings. In fact, despite knowing all we now know, I’ll bet they still pine for her. But give her credit for a successful mission from the Russian standpoint, I guess.
