Sorry: HERE is my rant abt the Butina style foreign agent v Manafort style one, and how the law w/"Espionage" in the title if as often as not used to target leakers to the press, not spies.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1021922889120010242 …

People seem not to understand this. Espionage Act is used to charge primarily leakers. Occasionally, it is used to charge people leaking for other countries.
Agent of foreign power--what Butina was charged with--is what we call other countries' spies. It's different than FARA.
