This is a complete disgrace. Butina, who was falsely smeared by prosecutors and journalists as a transactional whore and then thrown in solitary confinement, is now getting even more prison time for the crime of essentially "networking" in Washington, DChttps://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1121792602250964994 …

Butina wrote columns advocating her positions, constantly posted on social media, and otherwise took no steps whatsoever to conceal what she was doing. Does that sound like a "spy tactic" to you? Utter madness.

Oh and by the way, now we have a new precedent whereby any foreign national is potentially subject to overzealous prosecution for engaging in activity as trivial as networking, which in DC is as common as breathing air. It's seen as weird if you DO NOT engage in such activity

They get addicted to the power that comes with being able to define reality and dictate our beliefs. It's intoxicating to them.

One has to wonder, are these people mentally deficient or just sociopathic? I’m not sure which one is more favourable for them.

She was accused of spying(conspired with a Russian govt official) The only reason she was given a plea deal for "not registering with the govt" is because of her agreement to cooperate.

Are you Butina's lawyer? If not, she probably has one who will worry about her personal issues.
