WASHINGTON — A year before federal prosecutors accused Mariia Butina of operating as a secret agent for the Russian government, she was a graduate student at American University working on a sensitive project involving cybersecurity.

It was information that could help the groups plug important vulnerabilities, but also would be of interest to the Russian government.

6. The goddamn brass ones on these people. They flaunt their betrayal, of

the country they profess to love so much, out in the open. I knew shit was getting weird when all these right wing dickbags started comparing Putin to Obama. It's like they would get wood thinking of their new sugar daddy.

4. Marsha Blackburn connection to Butina

Is through her longtime friend and former campaign finance director, G.Kline Preston IV.
He introduced Torshin to Butina, was her liaison. He is a Russophile who has a shrine to Putin in his office. Can’t believe it isn’t a bigger campaign issue in Tennessee.

8. It needs more attention. For some reason, it seems to still be getting muffled, I think.

They're probably doing everything possible to deflect awareness in her state. It should have sunk her, already.

Thanks for the information.
