      Michael Tracey Retweeted Zoe Tillman

      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 …

      Michael Tracey added,

      NOW: Maria Butina has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for conspiring to act as an agent for the Russian government in the United States (she will get credit for the 9 months she's already served)

      Michael Tracey Retweeted Zoe Tillman

      The sentencing judge apparently suggested that Butina had something to do with "Russian interference" in 2016, but Robert Mueller interviewed her and her name appears nowhere in the report. This was a transparent political prosecution and it's despicablehttps://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1121805208877711361 …

      Outside court, Butina's lawyer Robert Driscoll pushed back on the judge bringing up Russian interference in the election. He said Mueller's team interviewed Butina, and if she'd been involved, Mueller "would have mentioned it somewhere in his 400 pages" https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetillman/maria-butina-sentenced-russia-agent-nra … pic.twitter.com/wPqJSxFsKg

      I truly have nothing but contempt for the media scolds and Twitter moralizers who felt authority to opine on Butina's private life and romantic decisions. As if she was the first woman in history to date an older man. Just disgusting

      Michael Tracey Retweeted The New York Times

      Insane, malicious, and false headline. She was not accused of spying. She pleaded guilty to not registering with the Govt., and insists she would have done so if she knew it was a potentially criminal offense. What in God's name is wrong with you people?https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1121795850441613313 …

      Maria Butina, who used Russian spy tactics to influence conservatives and the NRA, got an 18-month prison term. She will then be deported. https://nyti.ms/2ZAXSTg

      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. @nytimespic.twitter.com/VcHyW1I5LK

      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

          I wonder why Podesta is not prosecuted for failing to register as a foreign agent. If he would get proportional punishment, it would be multiple life terms.

          The Russians tried to say it was “networking”. The judge and most Americans aren’t gullible enough to buy that.

          Yeah and FARA violations are rampant in DC as well, as can be evidenced by the flurry of lobbyists retroactively registering as foreign agents when it appeared Flynn and Manafort were going to be prosecuted for failing to register under FARA. Including John Podesta's brother.
