"An accused Russian spy who worked as a merchant banker in New York City called convicted spy Maria Butina after 30 FBI agents showed up at her apartment with a battering ram. Elena Branson, 61, who holds dual U.S. and Russian citizenship, was accused of running a 'Russian propaganda center' in New York and communicating directly with President Vladimir Putin."

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?

They'll come up with something.

It’d be a crime on free republic if some had their way

Just last night one said

“We need to keep a list here of these traitors”

Anyone not wanting to engage in the conflict is a traitor per this gang

A gang laden with nevertrumpers

Branson... now faces a six-count indictment, which includes charges of failing to register as a foreign agent, and of lying to FBI investigators during an interview

This is how they came after General Flynn, claiming he was an unregistered foreign agent for Turkey. Papadopoulos was threatened with charges he was an unregistered foreign agent for Israel.

Half of the beltway are unregistered foreign agents. Speaking of Israel, how many lobbyists in D.C. would be caught in the net if the law were strictly applied to everyone?

And think of the Clintons and their foundation, how much money did they take from foreign governments and cut-outs, with a few to doing favors for those foreign governments? Are they not foreign agents?

This is selectively used by the deep state a way to go after political opponents and shield political allies.

There are of course real foreign agents who are of concern, which is perhaps what an FBI that was not the enforcement arm of the Democrat Party might focus on.

Don't worry, American Comrade.
