According to both Mother Jones and Rolling Stone, Butina attended Walker's July 2015 campaign launch event in Waukesha. There do not appear to be any documented interactions between the two since 2015.

A Walker spokesman did not have an immediate comment when asked whether Walker remembered meeting Butina or whether they spoke beyond the April 2015 meeting.

2. Pretty soon Little Putin is going to get tired of being manipulative and being the hidden power

He's going to want to show strength, show the world who is really in charge. He's a Russian mobster after all and it's all about the display of power.

So, the biggest display of power for him would be Russian troops on the ground. And Trump will invite them while the GOP holds a parade.

All the while short little Putin wil be laughing at us. Democracy was fun while it lasted.
