      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 …

          This is why Putin is putting the “boots” to Paul Whelan. Specifically for Russia’s perceived mistreatment of Butina. FBI-CI & DOJ NSD are lost in the sauce on this one among others. Paul Whelan is in for tough times. He will suffer before a one-for-one swap occurs.

          I was a politically aware child, and overachiever of sorts, during the Cold War. They gave me a helmet... anyway, this is an old tune. I could sing it in the shower. It's good of you to make sure everyone who's not as old as me knows this as an old, tired dirty trick.

          The prosecution of Maria Butina's should outrage every American. Most from her poor country can only dream of living & pursuing a career in America. She living hers until crushed by petty, venal, corrupt bureaucrats & justified by partisan hysterics like @7im

          I have much hope that @realDonaldTrump will pardon Maria along with the rest of Mueller's victims.

          Butina's prosecution was a direct result Mueller's investigation. His anti-Trump friendlies in govt used her to feed the Russia spying narrative & anti-Russia hysteria, which buttressed the legitimacy to his investigation by catching & jailing a Russian 'spy' on US soil.

          The seditious left's demand for Russian spies vastly outstrips the supply. Hence the need to create them.
