Old story from July of last year. Still, this is a leftist source but I didn't know she met some fairly important people. Politicians must have that problem to worry about who they are photographed with OR, they just say "those things happen".

Maria Butyna, the purported Russian spy but how dangerous is this stuff really?

And is this the unnamed American who helped Russia infiltrate the NRA?

As if she would really influence Republican policy or NRA for that matter, still, the pictures need to be seen and each of us judge it fwiw.

She went to a number of functions apparently.

It's not like she walked up to them and asked "I'm a Russian spy. Can I have a picture with you?"

What's the scandal here, Tom?  That politicians posed for photos with a political groupie?

The group that should probably be most concerned and is most liable  is the NRA.

Which was probably the entire point to their overall agenda. The 2nd Amendment assures all others. Their operations since the 1920s have been to sow discord, plus undermine our institutions and values.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

We know some people are not informed, we all don't have to be. Why didn't the conservative press pick this up? I saw that Santorum didn't li ke this photo on the web in twitter. I don't know if that is so, but it set me to seeing if it was what I thought it was. Better to be informed. I don't see any falsehoods in the story.

The falsehood is thinking this IS a story.

Commentary is too stupid for words.
Conservative republican politicians are about as real as Unicorns;
neither of which ever existed.
