Young and pretty.
I'd say an almost perfect choice as a spy to infiltrate the NRA, other con groups, and Republicans in general.
But now she's in custody.
Here is hoping she flips...big time.

trained spy, and will take the hit until she is traded back to Mother Russia in exchange for American spies.

Putin likes spies who don't get caught. She is a loose end and an example of a bad spy. I don't see her doing well in Russia if she ever gets back there.

TEXT- NEW: I can confirm that the US Congressman who allegedly met with Butina and Torshin in August 2015 in Moscow was Dana Rohrabacher.
Also, this journalist has pointed out that Congressional records show that Rohrabacher and Paul Behrends were in Moscow in August 2015.
