NEW: With Dana Rohrabacher no longer in Congress, Rep. Thomas Massie has claimed the crown of being the most Kremlin-friendly member of the House—and the only Congressman who's dined with Maria Butina. thinkprogress.org/rep-thomas-mas… 
Look at Rep. Massie's recent voting record. Last week, the House overwhelmingly passed a bill honoring Boris Nemtsov.
The only vote against? Massie.

Also last week, the House passed a measure confirming that the U.S. wouldn't recognize Russia's claims in Crimea.
The only vote against? Massie.

Massie also regularly regurgitates POTUS's lines of conspiracy theories viz. the Mueller investigation, and potential collusion. thinkprogress.org/rep-thomas-mas…
And then there's Butina. Rep. Massie joined Rohrabacher in 2017 at a lavish dinner with Butina and Alexander Torshin in Washington.
Massie's never commented on what was discussed at the dinner, or why he was there. thinkprogress.org/rep-thomas-mas… cc @andrewsweiss

@andrewsweiss And the most full-throated defense of Butina in American media? It belongs to none other than Rep. Massie. thinkprogress.org/rep-thomas-mas…
@andrewsweiss One other add: @TulsiGabbard was one of only three in Congress listed as "not voting" on these Crimea/Boris Nemtsov bills. Her office didn't return my questions as to why she didn't vote for them.
