    It was a thrill to talk to legendary journalist James Bamford about the despicable persecution of Maria Butina. Bamford knows more about Butina's case than anyone else in the media, and agrees that she is obviously a political prisonerhttps://www.patreon.com/posts/26827245

        It was also satisfying to identify the journalists, such as @7im of Rolling Stone, who pushed a false narrative about Butina (Dickinson identified her as a “femme fatale”) and disgracefully fueled the hysteria that culminated with her currently sitting in prison

        She wasn't a spy, she wasn't doing anything covert, she wasn't trading sex for access, she wasn't implicated in the Mueller investigation, she wasn't well-connected to the Kremlin. Virtually everything said about her was a lie. The media's coverage of this story was abominable

        I can't recommend enough that everyone read Bamford's definitive article. As we discuss in the podcast, Bamford actually met Butina well before she was subject to any criminal investigation. That's how he first knew the govt/media portrayal was total BShttps://newrepublic.com/article/153036/maria-butina-profile-wasnt-russian-spy …

        The FBI really screwed up in trying to scapegoat for "Russian interference" someone who happened to be friends with James Bamford, a legendary journalist who has been picking apart National Security State BS for decades

        Maria was interviewed by NPR a few days ago. (The host @arishapiro falsely claims that she "infiltrated" conservative circles, which implies something covert or illicit). @NPRKelly asked her if she is a "spy," even though not even the Govt. alleges thathttps://www.npr.org/2019/05/10/722221159/exclusive-npr-talks-to-sentenced-russian-operative-maria-butina …

        The bigger problem is her association with the National Prayer Breakfast. See @JeffSharlet: How the National Prayer Breakfast offers foreign lobbyists a chance to “pay to play”https://www.vox.com/2018/7/18/17586516/jeff-sharlet-maria-butrina-national-prayer-breakfast-the-family …

        I did not know he was a self-described liberal. Very interesting for me. He was much softer & warmer than I had expected. A real gentle-man. Another very good interview by you Michael.
