The excerpt notes FARA promotes transparency. A comment in the thread contends, had Butina registered, her cover would have been blown. I call BS. Anyone who cares knows there are no Russian gun rights activists. The NRA & Erickson gave her credibility, as the GOP did for Trump.

Butina was part of a Gun Rights movement in Russia which had a few years of some kind of RU media coverage, I too found that odd for this kind of movement to grow legs in an authoritarian rogue nation with nukes. Making it seem like this was a years long effort to infiltrate NRA

What about AIPAC style? They were court-ordered to register as foreign agent in the 1960s.
