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
Remember how Putin claimed, w/o laughing, that he believes the Cold War is over today?pic.twitter.com/wUYUOIeRLN
Wonder if the journos (looking at you, Hannity) who took off the record meetings with Butina will disclose that?pic.twitter.com/XvS3FmZRYc
Judicial construction generally requires a specific intent -- harder to prove.
Don't expect they'll keep Butina around all that long after they've gotten her testimony and USP 1 and 2 arrested.
If P1 and P2 are still in the US ....
Yeah, DOJ is going to have to start juggling flight risks soon, IMO.
Perhaps they are cooperating witnesses!
A boy can dream, can't he?:-)
I think they're hoping Butina will get them to USP 1 and 2, who then get you next up the line.
Junior loves this. Especially late in the summer
Seriously! She set up an LLC while she was here on an F-1. She was 'working' what the heck!
Why not go after criminal penalties here to but pressure on her?
The feds got her so she's got all the pressure she needs.
I'll add, I'm interested in that for two reasons. First, bc Adam Hickey envisions charging visa fraud in the Mueller RU case. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/12/the-crimes-with-which-nsd-envisions-charging-those-attacking-elections/ … And also bc charging visa violations adds in the deportation angle.
She hasn't been indicted yet so that could be included in an indictment. They can deport her now if they want. What I wonder is why they arrested her Sunday and issued the release Monday after the Putin/POTUS conference.
Read someone (maybe former DOJ/FBI, don't recall exactly who) speculating Butina's charges were picked b/c easy to execute w urgency & don't force feds to reveal CI info at this point as part of discovery.
They don't have to give up CI info for a very long time anyway so that can't be it either.
WaPo said she was looking like she might flee.
My side note. Who is this candidate she met in 2015?pic.twitter.com/Y5O1OEQdlo
It was Trump!
Torshin spoke with Trump there, and Torshin/Butina also spoke with Scott Walker.
She asked Trump a question... It's on video..
I am getting my timeline information from an ongoing Medium post by @LaddEveritt -- Trump met Torshin at NRA meeting in April 2015, but was not a declared candidate until June 2015. Torshin and Butina both met declared candidate Scott Walker at the April 2015 meeting.
This timeline also reminds us that Donald Trump, Jr. met with Torshin at the NRA 2016 meeting. Plenty of #collusion to go around for everyone on Team #TrumpPutin
