BREAKING: Maria Butina, deputy of Russian Senator Alexander Torshin, and woman who asked Trump question about sanctions in late 2015 has just been arrested and charged with being an agent of Russia.
This is the biggest news of the Trump-Russia probe.
Full affidavit: I'm confident US PERSON 1 is David Keene: justice.gov/opa/press-rele…
Butina set up mysterious shell company in 2016 with Paul Erickson: opencorporates.com/companies/us_s…
In April, I exclusively reported that the Kremlin discussed support for Maria Butina as she visited NRA headquarters in 2014. Today, the DOJ confirms she is a Russian government spy. medium.com/@ScottMStedman…
Butina has relationships with all of the following: David Keene, Sheriff Clarke, NRA President Pete Brownell, and others. She is a Russian spy.
Maria Butina (Russian spy) paid for @SheriffClarke's 2015 trip to Moscow, the same week as the Flynn/Stein RT dinner.
The affidavit is absolutely stunning and surreal. A Russian spy penetrated US conservative circles. justice.gov/opa/press-rele…
Butina to US PERSON 1 in March 2015: a major political party (POLITICAL PARTY 1) "would likely obtain control over the U.S. government after the 2016 elections."
