“When did all of this dual citizenship become acceptable?”

Since the early 1800’s

There have been several SCOTUS cases over the past two centuries on this question.

The rulings is that it is up to Congress to fix this part of law.

'Russian spy' merchant banker, 61, fled the US after 30 FBI agents showed up at her Manhattan apartment with a battering ram...

I'm certainly relieved that the FBI could spare so many agents from their investigation of President Trump.

[kiryandil]

I'm no lawyer, but we are not officially at war with Russia, and is it a crime to call Vladimir Putin and dispense information reflecting the Russian point of view? Is it a crime to call Butina? And 30 FBI agents? Don't they reserve that kind of show of force for January 6th trespassers?

Don't worry, American Comrade.

You are not interested in Cancelling - but Cancelling is interested in YOU...

That wasn’t Butina. That was Veselnitskaya that tried to set up Trump Jr. I think Butina was not convicted of anything. Just expelled and that was back around 10 or 12 years ago.

30 FBI agents, and a 61 year old woman evaded then. lol

[Dogbert41]

While 30 agents were pounding on her front door, she slipped out the back door.

[DesertRhino]

Wait, that’s another one I’m thinkingif back 10 or 12 years back. Butina was the one who was wide open NRA supporter and hoped to introduce a 2nd amendment to Russia. The democrats pretended that she was a secret conduit from Russia to Trump through the NRA.
The democrats basically wanted to tape down Trump and the NRA all at once.
The made her plea to being an unregistered foreign agent, the Flynn charge. She plead in exchange tour getting out of the USA that they are turning into a repressive police state.

Does anyone know what her FReeper handle was?

Which one?

Jamaica claims Kamala Harris is a Jamaican citizen as their constitution grants citizenship to every child born of a Jamaican father. Her father was a Jamaican employed as a professor in a US university. (He was also a card-carrying communist)

So, Kamala is a Jamaican/EastIndian/US citizen.

30 FBI agents, and a 61 year old woman evaded them. lol

Well, she WAS a Russian SuperSpy, after all, ... they didn't stand a chance.

[Navy Patriot]

Which one?

LOL!

[DPMD]

At least it gives them an excuse for assigning no agents to hunter biden.

[DPMD]

In the case of an adversary country, it wouldn’t matter if the US banned dual citizenship. The spy would still be a dual citizen, the US version just being a cloak.

[BlackbirdSST]

Her code name was Evelyn Salt. She’s a badass. She has her own wiki page.

[Skywise]

So we’re now hunting down Russians but letting the ACTUAL Chinese spies go?!

[dirtymac]

I thought that kind of demonstration of power was reserved for conservatives and Trump supporters.

The FBI must have been very disappointed. Was any dog killed in the process? Was CNN already there with their camera trucks and reporters? Did they come at 4 am to ensure she was in her nighty? Was a gun recovered as in arsenal?

[FreedomPoster]

You find the man (woman in this case), they’ll find the crime.

[FreedomPoster]

Sounds about right.

Idiots who still buy the swill from Fox News, largely.
