Tony Kevin— Maria Butina Endgame

It seems she was non physically tortured inwards the strict feel of the give-and-take but her prolonged harsh as well as vindictive handling waiting over 5 months for her repeatedly delayed lawsuit amounted to ‘torture’. We produce non know what enquiry techniques were used. We volition endure told 1 day.

She was as well as is a political prisoner as well as has been treated similar a terrorist. Politically aware Russians volition cry upward this representative amongst item rage. No American imprisoned inwards Russian Federation on any accuse has e'er thence been treated past times the Government of Russia.
This representative has done bully impairment to prospects for improved Russia-US relations. What has been gained past times the USA ? Nothing.

I cause got to disagree. Of course, this was physical torture equally good equally psychological. This is non confined to Ms. Butina. It is measure USA exercise inwards the "criminal justice" system.

Trump is simply equally acquiescent equally Obama to the ability of the deep country (including military). It recalls, Sen Schumer's remark at the start of the Trump presidency to Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.

"Let me enjoin you: You cause got on the word community — they cause got half dozen ways from sun at getting dorsum at you."

Butina is pawn inwards a innovation to number a soft coup inwards the USA past times weakening as well as if possible, removing, the elected president. I am non a fan the president as well as for sure did non vote for him (or HRC either). However, this assault past times the deep country on the democratic procedure is non alone un-American, it won't terminate good either. It's around other pace toward fascism.
