2) She started in 2011, and had worked her way into Obama's administration. She's just a pawn to further Trump collusion lie.
I dunno--I just read a whole bunch of interesting stuff on her and her connection to the NRA. CONveniently where you know who just spoke.
First off --she was paid by a Russian billionaire named Konstantin Nikolaev.
Mr. Nikolaev once served on a government-sponsored council for public-private partnerships in the military-industrial sector, along with influential oligarchs like Oleg V. Deripaska, a longtime associate of the Trump campaign’s convicted former chairman,Paul J. Manafort. . And his business entanglements stretch into areas that share a theme of military and security applications, which generally require trusted relations with the authorities https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/us/politics/maria-butina-russian-oligarch.htmlI wouldn't say she "got into the Obama administration as you put it. Obama and her, by all accounts have never even met. She DID however speak with Trump personally in Las Vegas
in July 2015, she appeared at a question-and-answer session featuring Mr. Trump at the Freedom Fest in Las Vegas, asking him to describe his foreign policy and his views on “damaging” economic sanctions against Russia. “I know Putin and I’ll tell you what, we get along with Putin,” Mr. Trump said. “I don’t think you’d need the sanctions.”He doesn't appear to be receptive to THAT conversation--but reports say they did speak again
IN PRIVATE.What's more,
investigators from special counsel Robert Mueller's team briefly questioned Maria Butina in January, Although she wasn't a major player or target of his investigation, what's that about??
hmmm....
Trump's ties to the NRA are very important to him---that's his base. She was pushing to "get the NRA in Russia" with " HELP" from Republicans.
Maybe she's just a Russian female gun nut--who knows. Doubtful tho..
Read this PDF from
www.Justice.gov shows exactly what they thought---go to page 12 and check out her Twitter conversations the USA was 'monitoring'. It's like a fucken spy novel!!! Really interesting JUICY read.
Very enjoyable if u like spy shit.
BUTINA: Oh well. I am just starting in this field. I still have to learn and
learn from you! These are not just words! Harsh and impetuous moves will
ruin everything early.
RUSSIAN OFFICIAL: This is hard to teach. Patience and cold blood +
faith in yourself. And everything will definitely turn out. https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1080766/download
