WASHINGTON To the conservative Americans she courted, Maria Butina was the right kind of Russian.

She loved guns and the church and networking with top officials in the National Rifle Association. She schmoozed with Republican presidential candidates, and became a supporter of Donald J. Trump. She spent Thanksgiving at a congressmans country house, took a Trump campaign aide to see the rock band Styx and helped a Rockefeller heir organize friendship dinners with influential Washingtonians.

On Thursday, Ms. Butina, 30, pleaded guilty to a single charge of conspiring to act as a foreign agent in a deal with federal prosecutors. In doing so, she acknowledged that her activities were motivated by more than mere personal conviction.

As part of the deal, Ms. Butina admitted to being involved in an organized effort, backed by Russian officials, to open up unofficial lines of communication with influential Americans in the N.R.A. and in the Republican Party, and to win them over to the idea of Russia as a friend, not a foe.


Sure is interesting, all the stuff these investigations have uncovered.

i expect we'll soon hear something along the lines of "Even if the Russians colluded with Republicans to influence the election I didn't know about it"

The GOP needs to be more worried about this than they do anything else. NRA as well.

They should be, but I fear they won't be.

Fake News.

She never met with any of them, and even if she did it doesn't matter.

And even if it DOES matter, Trump never knew about it until right now.

And even if he did meet with her, it was legal. Libs just want to stop people meeting other people. Party of OPPRESSION
