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

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

Rolling Stone has been an organ of status quo since the Mid-70's. They were always slamming witty and innovative recording artists. They were firmly in the column of The Eagles and Chicago( boring , MOR) as the absolute pinnacle of rock of that era.

at one point I was makin' jokes about comparing photos of Butina and Anna Chapman it was obvious who was the real femme fatale. But it is really not funny what has happened.
