Accused Russian spy Maria Butina offered sex in exchange for US job, prosecutors say
« on: July 18, 2018, 07:45:36 pm »
The 29-year-old Russian woman accused of covertly working as a foreign agent while living in the United States allegedly offered to have sex with an unnamed individual in return for a job in the United States, prosecutors said Tuesday. 

And that's not all. According to new court filings, Maria Butina allegedly “gained access” to "an extensive network of U.S. persons in positions to influence political activities in the United States" by living with and having a personal relationship with another individual. 
Prosecutors revealed the new allegations against Butina in documents filed Tuesday, as Butina pleaded not guilty and a judge ordered her held without bond in court.

Prosecutors had asked the judge in the case to keep Butina in jail before her trial, arguing she’s a flight risk. 
“Butina is a Russian citizen with no meaningful ties to the United States; she has every reason to flee this prosecution,” U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu wrote in the court document.

According to the documents, Butina was living with a 56-year-old individual described as "U.S. Person 1."

"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,” prosecutors wrote, saying the FBI obtained papers where she complained and "expressed disdain" about the individual.

Meanwhile, the prosecutors said Butina offered another individual “sex in exchange for a position within a special interest organization.”

"U.S. person number 1" is, I believe, Paul Erickson,  who played a role in Trump's transition team and organized a group of Russian visitors to D.C. in the weeks after Trump's inauguration.

A Russian chick asking for sex is a HUGE no-no. Nothing good will come from it.

The power of (meow)...makes grown men do some weird stuff sometimes.

Russians have been doing this for decades...I seem to remember some embassy guards in Moscow falling into the same kind of honey pot...as well as a soldier in W. Germany in the 80's that was lured in by a female in the Red Army Faction so they could steal his ID to gain access to a military base.

Looks to me like an agent of influence: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1080766/download

Or a budding agent of influence. I suspect there are many flowered agents from a variety of countries.

Not pretty much!  Exactly the same.

Whatever one thinks about Russia or this scandal, the highly paid Russian call girl scenario once again, rears its head and that is highly revolting. It does not mean the government, Kremlin itself is involved but probably I'd say.

But as for the big picture, maybe its small fish really.  Pretty nutty.  I mean, infiltrating gun clubs?  *****rollingeyes*****
