She operated in Repug circles for sure. But we have always assumed she was a Putin plant. Now, if she was, indeed, a Putin plant, will she be cooperating at the insistence of Putin? Or maybe she has been instructed to obfuscate? The interesting part in all this is, I think, her behavior should be taken as endorsed by the Kremlin. And, as such, it should be an indicator of how Putin thinks of the Rump and the GOP in general. Many people here have assumed that she could not be in direct contact with Russia because she has been so isolated the last few months. Personally, I don't believe that. There are ways. She is no dummy. Plus, who is to say there wasn't a long term plan B in case things went sideways?
