because she is cooperating. I don't agree with that. The Russians just want the US disrupted and disturbed - they don't necessarily care how. So if Butina stirs up some shit, all the better for them. Just like I don't think they care anything about Trump, just as long as he is destroying the foundations of our democracy. If Trumpie tries to flee to Russia in order to avoid prison, I don't think he would be greeted with a red carpet.
