Unamed sources are problematic.

You can say that again! As Sheriff Joe here so wisely believes, look at that traitor Mark “Deep Throat” Felt. He was an unnamed source for 2-3 years while betraying his country in providing information that the so-called media used to frame so many innocent and dedicated WH officials, and horribly damaged the nation by treacherously causing the unfair resignation of Nixon.

Maria Butina viewed trading sex for favors as a 'necessary aspect of her activities' in the US, DOJ says

  • Maria Butina, the Russian national indicted this week on espionage charges, traded sex for favors while moving into the DC political circle, the Department of Justice said in a court filing on Wednesday.
  • The filing says Butina gained access to an "extensive network" of influential Americans through someone described as "US Person 1," widely believed to be the GOP strategist Paul Erickson.
  • It also says that Butina and US Person 1 lived together but that their relationship did not "represent a strong tie" to the US for her because she "appears to treat it as simply a necessary aspect of her activities."
  • The DOJ added that "on at least one occasion, Butina offered an individual other than US Person 1 sex in exchange for a position within a special interest organization."
In a new court filing on Wednesday, the Department of Justice said Maria Butina, the 29-year-old Russian national indicted this week on espionage charges, traded sex for favors while making her way into US politics in Washington, DC.

In the filing, the DOJ requests that Butina be detained pending trial, arguing that she does not have strong ties to the US and could be a flight risk.

"During the course of this investigation, the FBI has determined that Butina gained access through US Person 1 to an extensive network of US persons in positions to influence political activities in the United States," the document says.

US Person 1 is not identified by name but is widely believed to be Paul Erickson, a longtime GOP strategist and gun-rights activist. The filing says Butina and US Person 1 are believed to have been involved in a relationship and lived together.

"But this relationship does not represent a strong tie to the United States because Butina appears to treat it as simply a necessary aspect of her activities," the document says.

"For example, on at least one occasion, Butina offered an individual other than US Person 1 sex in exchange for a position within a special interest organization," it continues. "Further, in papers seized by the FBI, Butina complained about living with US Person 1 and expressed disdain for continuing to cohabitate with US Person 1."

Robert Driscoll, an attorney for Butina, said in a statement to The Washington Post that she "intends to defend her rights vigorously and looks forward to clearing her name."

Erickson's role
Butina has been acquainted with Erickson since at least 2013, and they continued to work closely together through their ties to the National Rifle Association.

An FBI affidavit submitted along with a criminal complaint against Butina last week said she and US Person 1 worked together to arrange introductions to other Americans who are influential in US politics, "including an organization promoting gun rights," for "the purpose of advancing the agenda of the Russian Federation."

So no comments on the Russian Agent?
Dang... I guess if we've hit the point where Ricky and Joe are the only two left willing to defend this guy, it's gonna be dark days for Trump supporters come this fall. Knuckleheads.

Also who is this Erickson guy who was introducing her to everyone? His name rings a bell. Assuming he's married with kids, will be interesting to hear what his motivation was to show her around town.

There are some really, really naive people out there, some don't know any better and some are just in it for the money, then there is Trump, he falls into both categories.

I read them all the time. It's kinda trendy to have unnamed sources when you're having a problem losing an election to a dumb guy that has dumb followers despite how smart you people keep telling us you are.
 
Houston, we got a problem here . . .

President Donald Trump will consider allowing Russian investigators to question U.S.-born investor Bill Browder, former U.S. ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul and others after President Vladimir Putin floated the idea, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday.

“This kind of effort should be a mutual one,” Putin said Monday. “We would expect that the Americans would reciprocate.”

The idea was “an incredible offer,” Trump said.

Later in the day, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert called the concept "absolutely absurd."

"The fact that they want to question 11 American citizens, and the assertions that the Russian government is making about those American citizens — we do not stand by those assertions," Nauert said.

It is obvious Trump will throw America and Americans under the bus, at any time, if he thinks it helps him personally.

The 29-year-old Russian woman accused of covertly working as a foreign agent while living in the United States allegedly offered to have sex with an unnamed individual in return for a job in the United States, prosecutors said Wednesday.

And that's not all. According to new court filings, Maria Butina allegedly “gained access” to "an extensive network of U.S. persons in positions to influence political activities in the United States" by living with and having a personal relationship with another individual.

Prosecutors revealed the new allegations against Butina in documents filed Wednesday, as Butina pleaded not guilty and a judge ordered her held without bond in court.

Prosecutors had asked the judge in the case to keep Butina in jail before her trial, arguing she’s a flight risk.

“Butina is a Russian citizen with no meaningful ties to the United States; she has every reason to flee this prosecution,” U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu wrote in the court document.

According to the documents, Butina was living with a 56-year-old individual described as "U.S. Person 1."

"But this relationship does not represent a strong tie to the United States because Butina appears to treat it as simply a necessary aspect of her activities,” prosecutors wrote, saying the FBI obtained papers where she complained and "expressed disdain" about the individual.

Meanwhile, the prosecutors said Butina offered another individual “sex in exchange for a position within a special interest organization.”

Butina is accused of conspiring to infiltrate U.S. political organizations — possibly including the National Rifle Association — at the direction of an unnamed senior Kremlin official.

Butina, who accompanied Republican activist Paul Erickson to President Trump’s inauguration, has been charged with acting as a foreign agent, as well as conspiracy to act as an unregistered agent of the Russian government.

According to prosecutors, the FBI uncovered evidence that Butina was in contact with officials believed to be Russian intelligence operatives. She also had contact information for people identified as employees of the Russian FSB, the main successor agency to the USSR’s KGB.

Guess I was just trying to point out, that there are very few outlets covering Washington political news that are worth their salt... that don't use "off the record" sources.
