Maria Butina is now in the US. He writes to me that D. Trump (a member of the NRA) is really for his cooperation with Russia.

it’s like a sentimental scrapbook of espionage
Anybody speak Russian to decode this thread?

REPORTER (Jeff Mason from Reuters): President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?

PUTIN: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the US/Russia relationship back to normal.

And so try to remember that value is inherently determined by a collective sentiment rather than individual bias.

It's not about sneaky.

They want to brag about what they are doing to the US.

It's why Rykov confessed to running the disinfo campaign for Trump. It's why Rykov admitted that Russian intelligence was meeting with Carter Page and why he even tagged Michael McFaul into the post.

Unless you are like Butina and actually in the US and subject to arrest, there are no consequences in Russia for messing with us. None. Putin's obviously not going to send you over for prosecution, nor would he have any interest in doing that.
