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

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

She happened to be a Russian in the wrong place at the wrong time when the Feds needed some bad guys.

She wasn't a spy. Spies don't get 9 months & then get deported. Spies get locked away forever. So stop saying the US terms her a spy. They don't - just an unregistered agent...and by the way, scores of such people get treated the same way all the time. She got the same punishment

I mean not even in communist China, they recently sentenced a Japanese 5 years on spy charges.
