GOOD TIMES!!!

3. I think this was one of a number of peripheral operations

that gave cover to the Big Operations. Brexit and Trump (leading to a nuclear middle-east). It was the old Russian Honeytrap ploy.

This overall operation took years to plan and execute. I also think that the Russians underestimated the number of Americans who were eager to betray their country.

11. I agree, Butina was a small time money laundering operation.

Her job was just to funnel Russian money into the NRA, so that the NRA could give it to Republican candidates. And Russia KNEW that Republican governments are GOOD for Russia these days. That's one of the main news stories that's getting buried under the shitstorm of Trump news these days. The question of WHY did Putin thought Republican government was good for RUSSIA.

But Butina, she was just a small time clown that they assumed would never be seriously investigated. If that particular branch of the operation was really important, they wouldn't have sent a Russian honey trap to do it. They'd probably have sent a Russian spy to pay off an AMERICAN woman to do it. (Or maybe an 'Italian' woman, as was the case with George 'Pizza face' Papadopoulous.)

14. Butina asked trump the first question

At a really big Las Vegas press conference early in his campaign, about his thoughts on Russia, the first time he went on record saying that he felt sanctions should be dropped.

4. The photo with Santorum looks like a date night..LOL. n/t

5. He's touching her waist. Al Franken got kicked out of the Senate for that.

6. Might have to reframe the question

Which Republicans did Russian spy Maria Butina not have associations with?

Hahahaha.

From all accounts Butina was a very busy young woman.

[Cosmocat]

15. She is the where's Waldo

Of idiot spies.

[genxlib]

7. I must watch too many spy movies

I was led to believe that Russian spies would be stunning and irresistible.

She is meh.

I guess when you are trying to impress a bunch of dirty old men, you don't have to send the very best.

I know this deserves a spanking for being non-PC so I will just take care of that myself.

[Mrs. Overall]

20. You do deserve a spanking! She's cute!

[genxlib]

21. Don't get me wrong

She is cute in a "notice-her-at-the-gym" sort of way.

She is not "betray-your-Country-and-risk-jail-time" cute.

8. The pointy-haired boss from Dilbert

[TrollBuster9090]

10. Steven Wright?

"I got a new Russian girlfriend. She yells out 'Kalashnikov' when she has an orgasm. Should I be worried? I mean, I'm only packing a Derringer."

9. While most of those clowns would sue you for implying there's a connection between them and Butina..

...I'm pretty sure Butina would sue you for claiming there was any connection between her and that turd-helmet David Clarke.

PS-I hear 'Brian' from Office Space got Clarke's uniform after he quit. 37 pieces of flair, and all...

[BigmanPigman]

12. Do you have any of her with Fundies?

I know they are all connected too (Russia, NRA and the Fundies...what a mix).

[geardaddy]

17. Santorum's a fundie

[Mrs. Overall]

18. Here she is at the 2017 National Prayer Breakfast in DC,

but I don't have specific fundie names for these photos.

[gratuitous]

13. They didn't know who she was!

They thought she was Ginny Weasely from the Harry Potter movies.

(Though I do like how they don't know how to spell "comrades.&quot

[getagrip_already]

16. google images has dozens.....

of pictures of her and infamous gop characters, and many unid'd faces. They all thought the gun totin babski was a smockin hot babe.

[apnu]

19. I sincerly hope Mitch McConnell is up to his eye balls in Russian money

Come on Santa, bring it home for us!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. fashion notes ...

LaPierre still has some unbalanced hair to match an unbalanced mind,
Junior slept in that shirt for at least a week,
and Clarke was rushed to the photo op too fast to re-tuck that shirt tail.
