        Side note: I find it interesting, though not all that important, that they're not charging Butina w/visa fraud.

        Really hope we get to see the warrants for these searches, though doubt we will. Also hoping Trump wails as much that FBI only got a forensic image of Butina's laptop incriminating JR and not the laptop itself.pic.twitter.com/HuiLXi3JFM

        Nope. I mean, she was obviously a spy but I have no personal knowledge of her spying.

        One message I take from this arrest is: The Kremlin has no clue just how far along our IC is in uncovering this stuff. If they did, Butin wouldn't have been on US soil. Especially after Friday's indictments.

        after watching Who Is America my big takeaway was that if a dumb tv show can pull that off what can a foreign power with a modest budget achieve?

        Whoa. That’s pretty damning. I’m starting to see why the overall GOP pushback is so vigorous.

        I'm furious! The NRA has played a large part in blocking legislation for responsible gun ownership. And now it comes out that this is happening with the aid of Russia to feed the GOP power-hungry? When will there be consequences?!?

        I bet the GOP would rather burn the country down than admit they’ve been had.
