Russian operative Maria Butina was indicted in July 2018 on charges of being a covert Russian agent.

Butina struck up friendships with the influential leaders of the National Rifle Association and the Conservative Political Action Conference.

The Deep State FBI knew that she was connected to a Russian operative but did not warn NRA or conservative officials about her intent while she was operating in the US.

It appears Butina was arrested only after NRA and conservative leaders would not deal with her.

The deep state was hoping for a few conservative scalps.

Butina was charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian Federation and is being held without bond.

Last year investigative journalist John Solomon told Lou Dobbs that the FBI knew about Butina and her operations but they did not warn the conservatives who she was cozying up to.

In December Maria Butina pleaded guilty to one court of conspiracy to act as an unregistered agent of a foreign government.

This is another dud by the Deep State FBI.

Maria Butina will be released from prison on Saturday. She will then fly back to Russia where her family will meet her.
