You can have my Russian prostitute when you pry my cold dead fingers from around her!

How much swampier can the swamp get?

No surprise she would target the NRA. After years of manipulating voters on why they need as many guns as possible, from planting in their heads it's a "constitutional right", to "brown people are out to get you so you need to defend yourself", and false stats on how more guns makes us safer, these people are incapable of discernment and ripe for being exploited by a foreign agent.

It's a pitty she didn't gain access to America through your DNC. She would have been on all the late night talk shows.

Been a gun owner for going on 40 years. Never joined the NRA, don't think I ever will.

About 90-95% of gun owners choose not to join the NRA so I am not alone

The massive Russian contributions to the GOP through the NRA during the 2016 election cycle are currently being investigated by the FBI. I think Russia will make a deal with the US for Butina's return to Russia, in trade for alleged US spies, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the evidence collected by the CIA, NSA, and FBI in this case being revealed to the public during the course of a trial.

She worked her way through high profile politicians and has been photographed with presidential candidates Rick Santorum, Scott Walker, and Bobby Jindal. She's had a lot of opportunities to help solidify Russian influence to our Government through members of the GOP.

"Meanwhile, she was pursuing a master’s degree in international relations from American University, where she graduated in May, but law enforcement officials now believe that was just a cover as she acted as a 'covert Russian agent' seeking to 'exploit personal connections' and 'infiltrate organizations active in U.S. politics in an effort to advance' Russian interests."

I wonder if she had to complete classroom assignments and homework. Seems like that might be too much of a distraction trying to get a paper done or study for a test.

The NRA is as corrupt as Trump and his other cohorts . Trump bragged about $50M the NRA gave him. That doesnt come from memberships. If people are wondering what Trump is hiding, look at the money trail. This newly arrested agent is Russian agent stereotype; young, beautiful, and smart. The GOPers fell for it hook, line and sinker. They were too dumb to even know that there are no guns allowed for private citizens in Russia.

The Right to bear arms in Russia? Who would be stupid enough to believe that? That would be Wayne LaPierre, and the NRA. Money launderers for the Russian Federation

Maria Butina,is another Putin operative sent to the US to push his agenda in the GOP via the NRA. Calling her a Russian gun rights activist is misleading because there is obviously no right to own guns in Russia.

NRA reminds me of how tobacco lobby who, for years, stonewalled all investigations of their industry and quashed information that showed them lying to the public.
