go directly to jail - do not collect $200

Are we also buying her a first class ticket 🎫 back home, after she serves 5 months of her sentence! 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

Wait too easy.

When asked who her American contact was, Butina pointed to this guy...

Another Putin’s agent failed. Those poisoners in Europe, those Beavis and Butt-head, even had to pretend to be gay. It was necessary to oblige them to prove it. Publicly.

Nice photo. In the best traditions of the criminal caught.

Hope she completes her sentence in Colorado. She knew what she was going for. And she did it intentionally. Do you understand your rights, Ms. Butina?

“Actual Russian Agent ...”

I say they beat her into a coma and charge Russia $2M for the hospital bill.

This is too light of a sentence.

Synergy3k When will the NRA Execs Be Jailed And Deported? They committed Treason

So she CAN testify to Congress! Barr didn’t get to rush her out of the country after all!!

No mention she tried to and failed to bait our President. Hmmmm? Then they wonder why they get labelled fake news.

Bet she’s deported back to her homeland way before her sentence is over.

Now let’s follow her bank account money trail!!! You betche’ NRA leadership traitors $$,, not hunters!!! Bank accounts buried,,, for now. Stay tuned. Dem congress on the trail. Tax returns and laundered $$$. You betcha!!

incarcerating political prisoners is wrong and solitary confinement is torture.

She infiltrated the NRA and Trump is speaking at the NRA right this very second. Coincidence?
