    Not really a description. As I would say to my kids, "watch what is NOT being said, people attempting to mislead you will often leave important bits out, that is what you should pay attention to"

    In this case, I know you attempt to mislead for whatever reason you have, so I have to ask then,

    How specifically was she "acting as an agent"? Provide details, if you are truly wanting to be honest.

    My theory:

    You are not honest.

    Prediction, based on this theory

    You will dodge, and deflect. You will mention Obama and Hillary, because you are incapable at this point of not doing so, because it is such an ingrained habit.

    And to answer your question, no, I am not. Collusion takes more than just meeting someone, it takes exchanges of things like favors or money.

    Such as:
    Russian intelligence handing over Democratic party data analytics to the Trump campaign, and the Trump campaign using that in some way, by say, suddenly shifting focus or strategy.
    I don’t need to provide you details of how she was acting as an agent. You and I have both read the charges. It’s pathetic watching you try and somehow parlay her charges into Trump/Russian election collusion when it has zero to do with it. You’re unhinged Random, Trump broke you.

    TSA: prosecutors don't like to indict when they don't think they can convict.

    contrary to popular usage, declining to prosecute isn't an exoneration
    The FBI told the FISA court that Page "has been collaborating and conspiring with the Russian government".

    Would seem like a slam dunk after getting a FISA renewed three times no?

    Before her arrest as an alleged Russian agent, Maria Butina’s proud defense of her homeland drew notice at American University

    To some who knew her as a graduate student, Butina’s indictment on federal charges validated their own unsettling su ions.

    On a campus full of ambitious students aiming to land influential U.S. government and policy jobs,Maria Butina cut an unusual profile.

    It wasn’t just the outspoken conservative politics of the auburn-haired Russian woman that drew the attention of other graduate students at American University.

    There was also her almost zealous embrace of her homeland.

    Butina’s cellphone case was emblazoned with a famous photo of Russian President Vladimir Putin riding shirtless on a horse.

    She would buy friends rounds of vodka at the Russia House,

    the Dupont Circle restaurant popular with the Russian diplomatic set, sometimes challenging male friends to down horseradish-infused shots.

    She bragged to classmates that she had worked for the Russian government.

    Butina’s arrest last week on charges that she was

    acting as an unregistered Russian agent and

    allegations that she has ties to Russian intelligence

    rattled those who knew her at American University,

    where she spent two years inthe global security program at the School of International Service.

    Could simply be a matter of timing.

    After all, you intimated there were hundreds of sealed indictments against Democrats just waiting to be sprung at any moment.

    You started a thread about it eight months ago:

    The Purge

    Do you still believe yourself?

    A treasonous congressman: Conservative scholar implores Paul Ryan to expel Devin Nunes from House

    Only five members have ever been expelled from the House of Representatives

    less, spineless, gutless Ryan expel Nunes?

    Yep, here's the original reporting on this:



    So what gives, Trump supporters?

    Make your theories known.
    My theory is you are pushing fake news.

    What's is the that you continue to give Trash and the Repugs the blind benefit of the doubt.

    Assuming, expecting the nefarious worst from Trash and the Repugs is what serious people do.

    You are a ing clown

    Your theory is that there have been hundreds of sealed criminal indictments against Democrats since roughly the same time the Page FISA surveillance ended. What makes your theory more valid, TSA?

    You created your theory out of thin air -- well, the anonymous twitter account "Storm Watcher" did. You adopted a theory created out of thin air.

    Seems like a dodge and deflection to me.

    My theory that you are dishonest seems to be holding up so far.

    Jedi mind trick. Trump has broken you dude. You are unhinged.

    It was a dismissal due to it having nothing to do with Trump/Russia election collusion.

    and we circle back...

    what is the relevance of knowing the source of funding? alerting the judge to potential bias.

    and would did they do in the application? alerted the judge to potential bias by pointing out that the information was gathered to discredit the trump campaign. that literally means political opposition research.

    this is such a strange point to hang your hat on. the extension of this would be that even if they disclosed the source of funding, they didn't identify the account # and transaction ID

    For Russian business, Putin's summit win over Trump turns sour

    some fear Putin may have overplayed a winning hand and are bracing for a U.S. sanctions backlash.

    While the sanctions proposed by Republican Lindsey Graham and Democrat Bob Menendez were seen by most political risk analysts as unlikely in the near term,

    new curbs contemplated by other U.S. lawmakers targeting the energy and metals sectors are more realistic, they say.

    the reaction inside the United States is blocking any dialogue,

    “The threat of wider sanctions has grown,”

    wrote on social media after the summit that the Russian president had outplayed Trump in Helsinki “by a big margin”, but added:

    “... In doing so he created a problem because he exposed his partner to fierce criticism in the United States.”

    a bipartisan group of senators is pushing

    the “DETER Act” legislation putting Putin on notice that his country would be hit with more U.S. sanctions if Russia interferes in future polls.

    “All liquid (Russian) securities are now hostage to geopolitics, which strongly depend on what goes on in the United States.”

    “In short, nobody is expecting anything good to happen.”
