      Mueller was so desperate to find a scapegoat for "Russian interference" that he sent staff to interview Maria Butina in jail, in January of this year. Of course, she had no knowledge of "collusion." But she's still sitting in jail, as a political prisonerhttps://spectator.us/maria-butina-crime-russian/ …

      Trump has generally wielded his pardon power horribly but one person who would deserve a pardon 100% is Maria Butina. She was railroaded by overzealous, politically-motivated prosecutors for conduct that under most circumstances would not be regarded as remotely criminal

      I’m incredibly disgusted by the journalists, such as @7im of Rolling Stone, who assisted prosecutors in their vile quest to steamroll Butina. They hurled smears and wild theories about spycraft and “honeypots” that turned out to be total BS. Just parroting what they were fed

      Maria has filed an appeal and started a defense fund: https://www.mariabutinafund.com/  Remember: not a spy, not a "honeypot," had nothing to do with "Russian interference," was subjected to months of solitary confinement, and most recently was shipped out to a remote jail in Oklahoma

      I find this case so infuriating on so many levels -- utterly despicable conduct by prosecutors, the judge, and most egregiously the media -- that you'll have to excuse me if I extend this thread longer. Someone's life was destroyed based on a pack of lies. It's nauseating

      Fundamentally this is about abusive, punitive state power being cynically wielded to satisfy a political vendetta. For “progressives” to have no concern at all is disgraceful. Republicans don’t seem to care much either. Butina has been completely abandoned. Cowardly and pathetic

          I firmly believe that when historians analyze with critical distance the moral panic that has consumed American political and media consciousness since 2016, Maria Butina is going to be identified as one of its chief and most blatant victims

          Thank you for shedding more light on this miscarriage of justice. That she is still in jail is utterly ridiculous. Unlike the hacks like @7im smearing her I actually have spent years in the trenches so I know exactly what happened and how dehumanizing & traumatic incarceration is

          You should interview her American boyfriend, I bet he says she's cool and an enthusiastic networker. And research Torshin, maybe he has some financial interest in small arms that would explain his interest here. She's gonna have one hell of a story when she gets out too.

          We care very deeply. We are infuriated. We knew when we voted for Trump it was a vote against the weaponization of the government by Obama and his allies.

          I'm trying to locate exactly what it is about this case that you find so unjust. Do you think she didn't break any laws? Or do you think she did, but that they are unjust laws? Or do you think the laws are just, but her punishment was not? Or is solely about media coverage?

          There are soulless, arrogant, lazy people posing as journalists who casually smear & demonize innocent people just to advance poorly examined partisan goals, and they feel virtuous doing so. I'm a believer in karma because I have felt it myself. I hope everyone donates to Maria.

          Butina is a Russian citizen who was illegally lobbying on behalf of Russia. If you feel so strongly about this, take it up with who sent her in the 1st place. The Kremlin.

          Russia's economy is less than a 10th of America's. Yet the American press repeatedly continues to call Russia a threat to America's existence when its clearly not the case.

          Don’t know much about this. But I’m glad she has you as a champion. I will get myself up to speed on this. You know if Trump is convinced she has been unjustly treated, he’ll do what he can.
