She was working as a spy with the NRA and Republican Party on behalf of the Russian Federation:

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/16/us/politics/trump-russia-indictment.html

Now you understand my signature line. And quit the Republican Party, also. This is collusion.

And, we have her in custody.

Doc, you remain one sick puppy.

Thanks, add. You're too kind.

He piddler go phuque yourself!!

lol your a dumb chit mother f=ucker

twist the story to meet your agenda, BUT she was NOT working WITH the NRA, you dumfukk..

Paddler, on the ball as usual

Explain how her TRYING to arrange a "back door" meeting with Putin is somehow "collusion"....idiot...

Butina was a life time NRA member, and she was paying for NRA trips to Moscow in 2015.
She was here on a student visa and was acting as a Russian agent along with Alexander Torshin.
She was using the NRA to further her agenda to infiltrate the US approved by Torshin
Torshin is head of Russian Central Bank and reports to Putin. He is also has a warrant against him
in Spain. He has left the US. He was also a life member of NRA. Butina was also trying to establish
a back channel to Russian Central Bank/ Torshin. Her arrest warrant stated she was acting as a Russian agent
conspiring against the United States.

NRA takeover?
Isn't that what you American Bolsheviks have been striving for yourselves?

I dont know the OP but he is clearly very ignorant. And he seems to revel in it. Thats odd.

He most likely uses Miracle Whip.......for sumthin

The account I read (Wall Street Journal) indicated the NRA didn't pay any attention to her. As for being a "Life Member," anyone can be one if they put up the required fee. The NRA does not vet members.

I have had just about enough of low-lifes trying to gin up Russian collusion myths. They ignore the PROVEN FACTS that Russia paid Bill Clinton $500,000 in cash and donated $145,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation, a foundation that used only 5% of its "contributions" for actual charitable work, according to its own disclosures.

Don't ignore the beam in your own eye to point out a dust mote in someone else's, as someone once said, Piddle Paddle.

lol

Isn’t she also the leader of the NRA equivalent Russian gun rights group?


That’s right, must keep the audience entertained, talk about desperation. I’d hate to be any Russian in the US right now and being arrested for being Russian.

Both Butina and Torshin are going to play a big role going forward.

Tons of Russian money rolled into the political campaigns nationally through the NRA. It's not a surprise that she was arrested.

The NYT is obsessed with continuing to make something out of nothing.

The Russians obviously attempted to mess with our elections just like every other country does and has since the very early days. Diplomats wheel & deal; I wonder how much of this went on under Obama, Mr “once the election is over I’ll have more sucking power for Putin’s cock”??

A) collusion isn’t a crime

B) a bunch of unconnected dots are just that until the press attempts to connect them in the minds of the sheeple on behalf of the powers that be

The fact NYT & their ilk consider him worth all this proves he is leading something worth supporting.

......and ALL of the lobbyists in D.C. are just sitting there smiling.

We know.

You know what ???? I could give a schitt if Russia sent Trump a check for $ XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX.00 I"LL STILL VOTE FOR HIM IN THE NEXT ELECTION....as will most other patriotic Americans, including more than a few democrats who've grown tired of the non stop lies and obstruction....let me be clear.....WE'RE NOT BUYING YOUR BOOLSCHITT ! ! !

Also......I could have told you (virtually verbatim) what the grandstanding politicians, intelligence community and media were going to say not only before, but during AND AFTER his meeting with Putin....

This boolschitt of sowing hate and discontent to create division and chaos amongst us citizens is gonna bite you ass holes in the butt......

He, like all lieberals, are quite odd as they have abdicated their humanity for lieberalism.

up yours paddler..........

The campaigns I was referring to were at the congressional level. Many politicians took impermissible amounts of money from impermissible sources. Unlike Trump, these politicians don't have executive immunity or pardon power. Lots of members of congress are going to hate what Butina reveals when she starts squealing to save her own hide.

If they didn,t pay any attention to her why did top NRA leaders go with her an Torshin to Moscow.
Maria Butina is tied in with Alexander Torshin a wanted criminal and Paul Erickson. We will see where the trail
leads.

Wow so many ignored posts in this thread all the retards together...

Same retarded troll, different login’s

Name the federal LAW that restricts NRA membership or fundraising to Americans only??? I'll wait for your reply......

of course nothing matters that Obama meddled in the Israel elections.... to many morons around. Paddler almost seems to be lead moron

I guess most politicians aren't quite as savvy as the clintons....

Me too. I held off on the ignore for a long time, but now, it just gets easier as soon as I spot a troll.

I read the charges, where did the NRA commit a crime or know she was a Russian Spy?

Nobody said they did. She was the one charged. When you are a lobbyist for a foreign government, you have to register as such. That way, people know what your bias is. She and her boss never did. That's against the law.

I can't believe some of the responses here. Because someone has a different point of view, everyone goes all junior high on them. Some people need to grow up and learn how to have adult conversations.

Yep and that’s the extent of the indictment and nothing more. These twits are filling in the same gaping holes they have been filling since the Leftists have been since the Russia nonsense started with the same crap they’ve always attempted to use.

Stupid beyond words and mid terms will prove its a losing strategy for Dems.

Exactly, but the left, I'll include Paddler in this, are trying to make it out like the NRA colluded with the Russians to get Trump elected.

It was on the news and in the paper that Alexander Torshin was wanted in Spain, for money laundering.
Didn,t say NRA committed crime, why would they have a wanted criminal even in the building. Much
Much less go to Moscow with him.

I don't understand why the NRA bigwigs didn't question why Russians were all of a sudden interested in the NRA. Even I can smell bullshit from a distance.

Did the libs on this site just go full retard? Never go full retard!!!

What a bunch of dumbasses. MSM has you pot smokers hook, line and sinker. Carry on you fugking idiots...

Why would Russians be interested in guns or gun rights?

Russian makers would probably like to sell in the American market, either ammo or firearms. And Russia is, ostensibly, a democracy (currently in name only). There's still a chance for a robust right to keep and bear arms, a robust civil society and democracy in that country. Putin won't run Russia forever. Maybe someday the country will get lucky.

Never mind that the actual cash flows associated with Soviet sources or oligarchs is apparently only about $2,500 last time I checked.

Nice, Russian patriots helping in the fight to turn back the bolsheviks!

The responses on this forum are so outlandish I think it's just a bunch of russian bots bolstering the trump/putin propaganda machine. Even die-hard right wing wackos can't be this stupid.

Oh joy a new retard. Where did crazy bit h come from?

If I had to guess................San Francisco.

That would make sense... You would think mom I mean dad or is it mom would have swallowed...

🖕🏿

Just who is this "we" you speak of?

Charges changed to Felony Conspiracy. No bond for now.

Bullschitt.

Ironically, the most powerful and effective foreign-government lobby in Washington is so dominant that it has been able to avoid registering for the past 55 years. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) was last confronted by FARA when its predecessor organization the American Zionist Council was pressured by John F. Kennedy’s Justice Department in 1962 and 1963. Kennedy’s death stopped that effort—and ended White House attempts to hold Israel accountable for the development of its secret nuclear weapons program (which depended on nuclear material removed illegally from the United States with the connivance of a company located in Pennsylvania called NUMEC).

AIPAC’s website declares that it is “America’s Pro-Israel Lobby,” so by its own admission it functions pretty clearly as Israel’s proxy. It spent $102 million in 2015, had 396 employees in 2013, and claims to have 100,000 members, many of whom are organized into state and city chapters. It also benefits from being a tax exempt 501(c)4 organization classified as promoting “international understanding.” Its annual Summit in Washington attracts more than 15,000 participants, including scores of congressmen and other senior government officials. It blankets Capitol Hill with its lobbyists and is a prolific source of position papers explaining Israel’s perception of what is taking place in the Middle East. Its easy access to the media and also to politicians in Washington is so widely accepted on Capitol Hill that it reportedly frequently drafts bills that Congress then goes on to propose.

.............Boy! U sure are pathetic PIDDLER.....WHERE? WHERE? WHERE? OH WHERE? OH WHERE? OH WHERE???? ""IS"" YOUR EVIDENCE that ANY MEMBER of the Trump campaign OR that Trump himself colluded with the Russians?????? Your above post has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with ANYTHING....YOU IDIOT!!!!!

AND did you know that there is NO LAW against collusion??? Wait a minute... You don't know a damned thing about a damned thing!!!!

Meh, Trump will pardon her.

LOL.....good one.

With all the sniveling genuflection here on the fire for Trump, Putin, Russia, Butina, etc, maybe you guys should set up a Butina Defense Fund. And then one for the Dumpster, and DJT Jr, and Jared, etc.

Have you consider a lobotomy? it might take some of that stupid out of your brain that you kept spouting...

I still think putting your head down the toilet and keep flushing until you drown might cure that Stupid also..

plus your long suffering wife can collect that big insurance policy she's been paying for all these decades..

when you get to your here after, I am sure you and Charlie Manson will have some serious bonding to do...

you are his type of fruitloop/useful idiot....

you don,t know what you are talking about.

The NRA spent record amounts of money in the 2016 election... Most likely funneled money from Russia into supporting Trump.

I'm reasonably certain that the NRA funneled Russian money to the Trump campaign. The two are tight. I heard that for an extra $150 you can extend your NRA Life Membership to include membership in Russia's Right to Bear Arms. If you just want to join the NRA, they're now asking that you pay in Rubles. Send in a check for 93,750RUB, no questions asked.

Looks like Russia nixed Romney's appointment as Secretary of State, too, which is why we got Tillerson. Remember he was awarded the Order of Friendship by Putin.

Butina is being held as a spy now, no bond. Flight risk. Lived with a 56 yo Person 1, complained about it, but hey, sex for influence pays the bills.

This is going to be good.

You mean a DNC SICKPUPPET BOT TROLL like YOU JEFFO?

Or is it Paddler's sock Puppet?

Or Welfare Walt ?

Who ever you are , GO F U C K yourself , you dumb Hillary worshipping peice of schit.

I'd say its more like he's on the balls of some San Fran Tranny.....

I'll be glad when the Secret Service starts arresting people like PaDDler... for threatening the President...

Can you image what a little BitchyBitch he'd be if one of us had talked about his favorite MagicNegro, Obummer.. in the tone he talks about Trump?

I sure hope some campfire member gets to meet PaDDler some time, with no witnesses in sight....
and they find old PaDDler several days later in a back alley dumpster.... a lot worse for wear and tear....

So.. the NRA now helps Putin.

Funny that Putin, a former KGB agent, well versed in spy craft, is using the most "conservative and patriotic" party to do its bidding. Both love wrapping themselves in the flag and claim their moral superiority.

Its like they are the "deep state", being subverted by long time efforts by KBG, now GRU to ignore facts and help Russia.
Cause the one thing Cons loves more then the flag... is money. And we know how deep the Cons are willing to go, to get some Koch money.

Do you democRATS read what you post?

Its like you spout what you are programmed to spout off... like any good little zeroid....Leftist ideology...

its as if you don't know how to have an original thought in your heads...

Money being funneled- really?

Much easier to set up a sham charity. Just make sure to put it in a foreign country. Then maybe use it to launder the sale of uranium to the same folks you complain about. You know, uranium. The stuff used to make nuclear warheads by these enemies that supposedly want to kill you.

Facing that would put you at odds with your programmers who egg you on to a place called "a campfire" - to complain about the NRA .....on a hunting site!

I imagine time off of this site is spent advocating abortions on St Jude's site. Makes as much sense and I am sure thrills your warrior spirit as effectively.

Where did the NRA get an extra 30 million dollars to spend on the election. I think the NRA, Russia and
Paul Erickson should pay for her defense. Sounds like charges may be increased to spying.

Question is, where did the Clinton Campaign get all of their campaign money?

In fact where did the Clinton Foundation get theirs?

While speaking about Russia, who was it that sold 20% of the USA's uranium to Russia, and had a big part of that go into her pockets?

BEfore you liberals spout off about Trump and Russian Collusion, or the NRA or anything else, why don't we look a little closer at the Clinton and Hillary's collusion with anyone who personally makes her and Bill money?

its sorta funny that the democRATS point the accusational finger at ANYBODY or ANYONE... when the entire party is the biggest pack of liars and thieves on the planet.... and the biggest LIARS AND THIEVES of the entire party are the Clintons... ESPECIALLY HILLARY...

as far as Spying? What Secretary of State, put hundreds of thousands on emails on the internet, containing all sorts of US Secrets.. for the entire world to see.....violating security policy, ... then destroyed the information to cover her ass... and then her response as usual, "WHATS THE BIG DEAL??"....

isn't spying taking information and turning it over to our enemies to use against us?

You liberals give Hillary a pass... argue for her defense...and then act like something like some 29 year old Russian Bimbo, is some sort of master spy.....

Are you democRATS that stupid, or just think conservatives are that stupid, to believe you clowns....
will give you a hint before you answer that question...
no one has to be that smart to see something this obvious.. unless they are programmed to believe everything their party tells them... like the democRAT faithful....

Personally I don't see how ANY military veteran , can be a communistic DemocRAT..... much less believe their ideological BullSchitt....

Butina set up a LLC in SD, nobody knows what for. Apparently dormant but a good way to work all kinds of mischief. And she's not a spy. They used to say agent provocateur, agent of influence these days.

Maybe they won,t change charges to spying. Only FBI knows details right now.
Paul Erickson is from SD. She is being held with out bond right now.

Actually I don't know why they arrested her except for political reasons. She's a minnow and those you surveil. Erickson is just a doof.

Thank goodness Obama has been clean through all this mess. I mean he never did anything questionable like the Clintons?

Hey!? Y'all think Iran will start opening up its borders to Americans now that they've had a cool billion dropped off on their doorstep, in the middle of the night? They probably like us now because of it, right? I think it might be a great place to visit for vacations and stuff!

Thanks Barack! You're foreign policy was the best evah!!!!

Butina attempting to infiltrate national organizations, or saddle up next to anyone named Trump doesn't make anybody guilty but her. She managed to get her picture taken with Don Jr. at a NRA event, so friggin what,,,offered sex to un-named individuals to promote her cause, so friggin what.

It'll take more than that for the gun to go bang!

Where is ultra patriot Oliver North on this matter or Wayne Lapierre? I guess we know who the NRA is laundering $$ for.
You ignorant jack asses here would still be defending trump and putin as you are being led to the gulag.

You lunatics have a way out.....Use it and you will regain your sanity.

Interesting choice of words. I'm sure you wish we had one. You like that kind of system. With Hillary and the dems in charge, dissidents certainly had that future to look forward to. You leftist people don't have the brains to realize what a danger that is to yourselves. The useful idiots also often eventually find their way to the gulag.......if they live.

You know what's wrong with this thread (besides all the libs posting)? Not enough pics:

You raise an interesting question. Could the NRA be criminally charged for funneling Russian money to the Trump campaign? Seems likely to me.

Gee, you're not a leftist troll are ya Lazy Hog.. I mean crazy hog.... I mean crazy dawg....

its not like the campfire is experiencing a shortage of them....

maybe you and Doctor Jon Middleton can meet for coffee, go home and do some spooning all night, and wake up
and practice your 69'ing techniques....

Funny how all you right-wing wackos think ignoring the facts and ever mounting evidence will make the truth that trump is a traitor simply go away.

I understand that Piddler knows a pedophile.

That just about sums things up. Willful ignorance and racism is rampant here on the fire.

I wonder when the NATO members intelligence surveillance tapes are released, where Trump talks to high ranking Russian GRU handlers, what will the die hard Trumpers say...

..............................I think u Crazypooch and ur big lib butt brother Piddle Paddle Peddler Poodler should watch this 9+ minute video by Laura Ingraham. You might learn something. The REAL FACTS.....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSQPseuhSkk

Well Crazy Poochie and with all due respect......Well? I for one am still awaiting ALL OF THIS EVER MOUNTING EVIDENCE that ANY MEMBER of the Trump campaign or Trump himself COLLUDED with the Russians.

As far as Trump being a traitor??? Watch the video. Learn some damn recent history.

Are there any real Russian gun rights groups? There are Russian competitive shooters (generally from the military), but their firearms are controlled.

And, Joan Rivers always considered herself a beauty. That however, never made it true.

Laura Ingraham that's hilarious! She's the place or REAL information right? Just like the jack-asses at fox news?
When are they going to rename fox news Trump State Television?

.......................Typical response from a left wing loon such as yourself....OF COURSE, you cannot dispute any of her comments because in typical big lib fashion, FACTS to a toe tag liberal is like kryptonite to Superman........OK! What facts can YOU offer that disputes any of her commentary??? HMMM?......Now try and keep your emotions at bay or under control there crazypoochie.........And your response to this post will be no different than your last one above.

Cmon there doggy. Lets see what ya got. Recent history including everything that occurred during the Obama administration, you libs conveniently forget about....Called selective outrage and hatred towards Trump.

If ANY DemonCRAP,,,ooops Democrat president where doing and accomplishing the same things as Trump,,,,you damned liberals would be singing the praises.....Economy way up,,,massive amounts unfriendly business regulations cut,,,,a stronger military,,,,lowest unemployment amongst blacks, hispanics and women,,,building the border wall and enforcing immigration laws ALREADY on the books that were passed by Congress,,,,and on and on and on........

After the GOP maintains the House and Senate this fall and after which Trump wins re-election in 2020, I think you and your big lib butt buddy Paddler, Poodler, Piddler, Pecker, should get together and play some Russian roulette with your favorite revolver. If no revolver amongst you two, then I'll be happy to volunteer my 500 S&W to a good cause.....

How is that for some Russian collusion.......LOL>>>LOL>>>LOL..............................

You are not worth wasting any more of my time on. There is no getting through your ignorant, racist, bigoted, homophobic head.

Crazy kayhunt

Another anti hunting anti freedom Russian bot

Go away

So no facts?

.....................Well Crazy Pooch..........The way that you get thru,,,,, IS WITH FACTS,,,, which you like all liberals FAIL to produce as always.....NO facts produced by you to dispute the Laura Ingraham commentary? Why of course not.

Ya see! When your boy Obammy met with Russia when he was in office, where was your outrage then when Obama was caught off guard with an open mike saying that he would have more flexibility after the election? Where was your outrage when the Obama admin AND ICE were doing the same things on the border regarding immigration which btw Trump is enforcing the laws as written by Congress? Where was your outrage that the Obama admin DID NOTHING about ANY Russian meddling long before Trump entered the picture? Where was your outrage when Obama signed by executive fiat over 1,000 ILLEGAL executive orders bypassing Congress??

You cannot win any debate without facts on your side......And just like all the libs, your arguments are nothing more than emotional opinion filled with selective outrage and hatred and of course nothing but name calling.

You are no different than all the HYPOCRITE libs, who cannot use facts, or produce any facts, and completely VOID of history, to support or justify their argument. FACTS ARE TOO MUCH WORK FOR ALL U LIBS...

You and Piddler will be more miserable after Nov and even more so after the general election in Nov of 2020.....................And the U libs will be even more irrelevant.....LOL

OK! Here comes the name calling...Right Mr. CrazyDOG????

Oh PS btw; Piddle Paddler has his own top notch Smith revolver. So you boys wont need to borrow mine for your Russian roulette get together session after either the mid terms or after Trump wins re election in 2020....

You two boys would make great company for Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren (of Indian decent of course) Alexandria Ig naaaaaa cio (socialist) Cortez, crazy Bernie (socialist/communist} Sanders, Kamala, plus a host of other HYPOCRITE, hate the Constitution, hate America commies and progressive big lib loons.....

Keep goin Crazy......U doin great............

According to Justice Dept Colluding is a crime. Check out charges against
Paul Manafort.

And according to the entire non-retarded world, you are a moron. The Manafort charge and collusion as they are FALSELY trying to hang on the President, are apples and oranges. There's a Harvard dude by the name of Dershowitz whom I'd believe...You were stupid enough BEFORE you fell off the ladder, nut from the looks of it, you'v dropped several rungs in the brain department, to at least three below imbecile...

Funny, and not JorgeI taking up for a lunatic, spy's, and enemy's of the country!


Phil

Paddler, that's pretty shameful. I can't believe you support that organization.

Charges still stand, rest my case.

Another idiot with imbecile-level grammar skills...

Oops! Alleged Russian spy Maria Butina met with Obama officials in 2015
By Thomas Lifson

Desperate Trump-haters, searching for something – anything! – to show that the Trump administration is in bed with Vladimir Putin seized on the news a week ago that a young Russian named Maria Butina had been indicted for violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), or, in the words of the DOJ, for "conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian Federation within the United States without prior notification to the Attorney General."

Here at last was a face – and a red-headed female one, to boot – to attach to the charges of treason being thrown around by the likes of John Brennan.

So intense was the fever that their dream had come true that, as Bre Payton reported in The Federalist:

In the wake of Donald Trump's press conference with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday, members of the media mistook a Trump administration staffer for a Russian spy.

Emily Singer, a senior political reporter for Mic, tweeted out a photo from inside the White House and claimed that Maria Butina, who was charged Monday for conspiring against the U.S. as a secret Russian agent, was among a gaggle of staffers inside the Oval Office. She later realized her mistake and deleted the tweet, but only after it went viral.


White House photo, as modified by The Federalist.

Still, she did manage to ingratiate herself to the NRA and others supportive of Trump by posing as a "gun rights advocate" in Russia. So maybe she could be pinned on conservatives.

But alas, it turned out that she was an opportunist who would meet with Obama officials if given the chance. And she did. TheBlaze reports:

Alleged Russian agent Maria Butina met with officials from the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve in 2015, according to a new report. ...

Reuters reported that Butina and Alexander Torshin, the former Russian Central Bank deputy governor, met with Stanley Fischer, then-vice chair of the Fed, and Nathan Sheets, then-Treasury undersecretary for international affairs, in separate meetings in 2015.

The purpose of the meetings was to discuss U.S. economic sanctions placed on Russia during the Obama administration. The U.S. placed sanctions on Russia multiple times during the Obama years over Russia's involvement in Ukraine, its annexation of Crimea, and the Russian government's interference in the 2016 presidential election.

According to Reuters, the meetings "reveal a wider circle of high-powered connections that Butina sought to cultivate with American political leaders and special interest groups."

And John Solomon told Lou Dobbs last week that at that time, in 2015, he alerted the FBI to her. Via Gateway Pundit:

I'll tell you a little story I've never told before. In March of 2015 I observed her at several events and really cozying up to conservatives and making what I thought was a weak-handed case that she was this courageous gun rights activist going up against Putin and there would one day be a Second Amendment in Russia. There's never going to be a Second Amendment in Russia. I became very perplexed by her behavior and her efforts of going up to presidential candidates and congressional candidates. So I started to do some reporting and I called FBI and US intelligence sources and very quickly I learned, "Yeah, we know that she's somebody here as an agent of influence. She's connected to this guy Tortian (sp?) and we know what she's trying to do." And I thought, that's really interesting. Are they going to tell the people she's meeting with and it doesn't appear they ever did. I thought the role of FBI counter-intelligence was to prevent contacts from occurring that are not in the interest of the United States. It sounds like they sat around and watched this for three or four years until it was convenient to create a headline.

A set-up by the FBI? Let's see – who was in charge of counter-terrorism there? That's right: Peter Strzok, the man whose expert imitation of a man demonically possessed impressed so many observers.

Am I the only person who remembers another Russian red-head deep-cover spy named Anna Chapman? She was uncovered during the Obama administration, in 2011, and was said to have used her good looks to entice various male officials into her bed and into security lapses. And am I the only person who thought it reeked of a cover-up that she and her colleagues were rapidly traded for U.S. people arrested in Russia – without even an attempt to get her to spill the beans on whom she seduced for what intelligence?

Ms. Chapman has found work in Mother Russia:

Would smash

It was not Hillary. the company that did it was from Canada. All US Government Agencies approved the
exchange. Hillary Recused herself from vote.

I enjoy beating up retards... and from the NYT...

DEAL

Now now, not fair bringing truth into it.
