I guess if it looks like a Russian honeypot and acts like a Russian honeypot, it probably is a Russian honeypot.

NRA’s alleged Russian spy ‘offered sex’ for job with ‘special interest organization’: court filing

snip

“Butina, age 29, and U.S. Person 1, age 56, are believed to have cohabitated and been involved in a personal relationship during the course of Butina’s activities in the United States,” the filing states. “But this relationship does not represent a strong tie to the United States because Butina appears to treat it as simply a necessary aspect of her activities.”

To back up this assertion, the FBI goes on to claim that “on at least one occasion, Butina offered an individual other than U.S. Person 1 sex in exchange for a position
within a special interest organization.”
