what are the regulations in regard to this incident. All kinds of recruiting goes on on campuses and some is deceptive. Doesn’t seem simple.

Meanwhile thousands of Chinese and Mideastern “students” run free with no shame in who their true loyalty lies. This government is pathetic.

"As revealed in the book Russian Roulette, co-authored by this reporter with David Corn, Trump adviser Steven Bannon and Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus shared concerns about Butina and her agenda after viewing video of her questioning Trump. “How was it that this Russian woman happened to be in Las Vegas for that event?” Bannon and Priebus discussed among themselves, according to “Russian Roulette.” “And how was it that Trump happened to call on her? And Trump’s response? It was odd, Bannon thought, that Trump had a fully developed answer. Priebus agreed there was something strange about Butina. Whenever there were events held by conservative groups, she was always around, he told Bannon.”"

Thank you for the link.

It’s not illegal to be a foreign agent, to lobby and to advocate. But you have to disclose your handlers.

Foreign citizens think that because we have a fairly open society, free speech, that they can show up and join the parade any way they want.

Foreign citizens don’t get it, this American citizenship is really quite an exclisive club, owned by the people, for the people......

Normal situations as an explanation in the Foreign agents registration act would be an administration to issue a letter telling her to register. Not enough information to determine this was done or ignored by her.

I now read that she was in a relationship with an influential 53 year old “Person 1”, who believed it to be a committed and affection based while unknown to him she traded sex for favors from several other influential members.

How dumb can this influential “Person 1” be and what where these other ones thinking!

She’s been living with Paul Erickson. He introduced her to David Keene, former president of the NRA.
