Maria Butina to plead guilty and help prosecutors

@Munimula1

Uh-OH

Good Lord! What a horrible photo!

[WuWei]

@SaysWho

Absolutely that is what’s happening.

Cool! Insider scoop!

@Apocalypto

The NRA is screwed, they’re losing a lot of money, a bunch of them are going to be implicated with a Russian spy and to top it off, they fired this Dan Oingo Boingo fellow.

Good. New day. New leadership.

[TommyLucchese]

Spies under non-official cover are prosecuted like any domestic criminal.

@Demon

And they seem to have been pretty quiet in the last shootings. I think (hope) they’re in big trouble.

Why do you hope that?

I would think her deal is to stay in US and rat out Russian operations.

Just because she rhetorically sniffed the NRA and top R behinds doesn’t mean any actionable crime took place.

It looks to me like she was caught before she could really get any worthwhile PR or brainwashing done.

[WuWei]

Now this is a Russian spy!

[DOLOOP]

Expect a lot of deflection in this thread.

The money thing is very interesting. I look forward to the plea documents to see if any of that is covered.

Very odd how the NRA was flush with cash just a couple years ago, enough to throw 30 million in support of Trump, but in a very short time is killing off NRA TV and putting a number of publication on the chopping block.

Yes, I predict much in the way of deflections.

Fake news libs.

The Russians have made pretty clear she wouldn’t be welcome back iirc.

And I wouldn’t want to go back as a failed spy in the Putin era. They’ve been dropping like flies the past couple years.

Though what kind of info she has that would be worth holding onto her does raise some interesting questions.

NRA has defo been behaving oddly. They tried to become an active Republican PAC / Media org, not sure that worked out too well for em.

[vaard]

Yeah… thats the ticket…

She is going to help prosecutors prove how pure and honest the nra and gop are…

[Apocalypto]

The NRA needs to have its exempt status removed.

If I were on the other side of the fence, I would deflect like hotcakes with butter and maple syrup–speaking of which, I had pancakes this morning. They were delicious. I discovered that the secret to really good pancakes is that you can just talk about them for as long as it takes to forget whatever it was we were talking about.

[Demon]

Because I think they’re a horrible organization.

Under what rationale could the NRA ever have received tax-exempt status in the first place?

This is a major story that’s not getting a lot of attention. It involves the NRA, GOP members and people from trump’s orbit.

Alleged Russian operative Maria Butina to plead guilty, help prosecutors

The documents describe Butina’s efforts to build ties with a “gun rights organization,” which has been identified as the NRA, and “Political Party 1,” which the document makes clear is the Republicans.

The documents confirms previous reporting that Butina helped orchestrate a trip by NRA members to Moscow in December 2015.

There’s no law against talking to Russians… Or Hillary would be in jail for selling them our Uranium…

But any day now, Russian collusion will be proved… I mean beside’s Hillary’s…

[Cratic3947]

I can’t wait to see the dems hearings on collusion…

[Apocalypto]

Hillary lost bro, get over it.
