“So she has been held in jail for eight months on this nothingburger charge.”
Of course. Because Mueller is trying to find a way to link her to President Trump. Maybe he can blackmail her into saying something bad about the President.
At the least she’s being held because letting her go would contribute to dialing down the Russia hysteria coming from the left.
One thing that I saw consistently in the stories about her was the incredulity that she could be an “activist” wanting to bring about better gun rights in Russia (as if there is zero activism/civil society and, for that matter, gun rights, in Russia).
