Uh, what scrap of proof was there that she was working for the RU govt? Is there some secret transcript of the interview that provides any?

She admitted to being an informant of the Russian Govt, that's work and when it's done abroad it's called spying

1) It wasn't done abroad. 2) It was done on behalf of a client who was paying her. I'm really genuinely confused about where people are getting this material that did not appear in MSNBC's piece.

1) It was done in USA, which is "abroad" for her 2) Yes she got paid - that's why she worked for Russian Govt This work in the USA is classed as spying and I hope she will go to jail for it, even though more likely Putin will "cut the loose ends"

Um. The "it" here is providing language on how to refuse an MLAT request for info on Katsyv, a known [paid] client of hers. There is ZERO evidence she wrote those docs from the US. So, like I said, where are you getting this from?

I am not interested in wasting my time arguing with MAGA morons

So no. You have no secret source to back claims that are in ZERO way backed by the report you're referring to. Thanks for confirming that, then.

I never said I had secret source, I've expressed my view on the matter based on my 25+ years understanding of Russian mafia state which I've witnessed in person and understand how it operates, to me these things are pretty crystal clear
