RT working overtime to drum up support for russian spy Maria Butina.

[DetlefK]

So far, they have written 3 articles about her.

How she's only in jail because she's russian.
How she's in solitary confinement, which is comparable to torture.
How she's being tortured physically and psychologically into confessing.



No mention of Alexander Torshin. None. His name never pops up, even though he's the guy who financed her stay in the US and he's the guy she reported back to.

No mention that there exists evidence and that the case is built on more than just her confession. For example, no mention of the report where she wrote to Torshin that the goal is to lull the NRA into a false sense of security now and to put pressure on them later.







Maria Butina is a damsel in distress, taken hostage by the evil and vile USA.

1. "How she's in solitary confinement, which is comparable to torture"

That was the same shit that Manning cheerleaders posted to DU about being kept on suicide watch after having made a credible statement that he (at the time) might commit suicide.

They do support their friends.

6. What Sergei Magnitsky would have given to have that sort of Solitary Confinement....

2. Yeah, the landing page for RT is such OBVIOUS Russian propaganda.

And so many here were cheerleaders for it. Or maybe just trolls.

4. Wasn't she allowed

to meet with several Russian officials, alone, with no US monitoring?

I wonder what they talked about/agreed to do as a plan of action...

She could get jail, then deportation. If deported, she is dead, 'cause Putin doesn't play nice.

UNLESS they wanted her to plea, helping to take turdface down, since Putin now realizes that turdface will never be able to deliver on removing the sanctions, and is growing tired of turdface's constant groveling....

Even your sock-puppet should show a modicum of gravitas. Instead, Turdface is a whiney POS.

7. Russian, putin US political maneuvers [criticism of trump, etc.] may not be 'transparent'.
