    Some info about what she was up to from an extremely trustworthy source.



    What a bizarre case. Not sure what to make of her.

    She was Russian while politicking. I guess if she was an actual agent hired by Russia she was supposed to register or something... but I think she just knew people and was ambitious.

    A source even more anti-Trump than MSNBC. A guy who has a daily meltdown about Trump. I mean, really bub, come on. This is why your party is running the other way.

    She should have went to Podesta or Bill Clinton, although I understand why she would have avoided Bill.

    This is how Trump is “tough” on Russia, he goes after some college student. Maybe he thought her last name sounded Arab.

    Your post is missing some info. Open dialog with the Russia isn't a bad thing nor illegal. It's about what is discussed and if it was done without following the proper procedures and regulations.

    We will just trade her for one of our spies that Russia has caught.

    Yep, that's right, we spy on Russia also.

    1 Russian woman joins the NRA and the left has a conniption

    Millions of illegal immigrants come into our country and join taxpayer funded social services and that's no problem.

    Trump and the Kremlin don't seem to have problems arranging summits through normal channels......why would some young redhead that nobody has ever heard of be needed 'to arrange some political connections'........it's laughable BS to anyone with an IQ over room temperature

    This does seem to be a weird case. There are lots of unregistered foreign agents, but the law wasn't really enforced until Mueller decided that he was going to get Manafort to get him to "talk."

    It's a crime but not espionage.
