Chris Jansing just said "We'll be right back with new information on Maria Butina..You're not going to believe it."

(16,375 posts)3. Yup. I'm listening to it now.
I guess if it looks like a Russian honeypot and acts like a Russian honeypot, it probably is a Russian honeypot.

NRAs 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 Butinas 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.

..its her job and male spies do it too im sure. its just part of the package. Says less about her than the guy who was going to offer her a sweet deal for sex. Im sure she got the better end of the deal.
