Politics Mueller has flipped Russian agent Maria Butina

Shades of FX's fantastic series "The Americans"...

 

I'm gonna be overjoyed to see Donald's son, aka junior, aka the Weasel, get his just reward. I think he's gonna see bars, just not the kind he was hoping to see.

Judgement Day is coming.

 

Fez is pleased.

Senators are seeking information about Obama-era meetings between Treasury and Federal Reserve officials and Maria Butina, the alleged Russian agent who pleaded guilty to conspiring to influence U.S. policy.


The Senate Finance Committee’s Republican chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and top Democrat, Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon, sent letters Friday requesting all records relating to 2015 meetings with Ms. Butina involving then-Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer and Nathan Sheets, the Treasury Department’s assistant secretary for international affairs at the time.


The letters cited a Reuters report that said the officials met with Ms. Butina and Alexander Torshin, who was then the deputy governor of the Russian central bank, to discuss U.S.-Russia relations. Mr. Torshin has since been targeted by U.S. Treasury sanctions against several government officials and allies of President Vladimir Putin over what Washington called “destabilizing activities,” including seizing Crimea and menacing Ukraine.


“Given what is now known about them from public court filings, it is concerning that Ms. Butina and Mr. Torshin were able to gain access to high-level administration officials responsible for U.S. economic and monetary policy to reportedly discuss U.S. Russian economic relations,” Messrs. Grassley and Wyden wrote in letters to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.


The committee is requesting any records relating to the meetings, and any meetings between other officials at the two agencies and Ms. Butina or Mr. Torshin, or any meetings involving the Center for the National Interest, a Washington think tank that the senators said reportedly arranged the encounters with Messrs. Fischer and Sheets. The senators also asked for records of any communications Mr. Fischer and Mr. Sheets had with the Russians, and asked whether either official held a security clearance at the time of the meeting.


A Fed spokesman said the central bank had received the letter and would respond. A Treasury spokeswoman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

If it said Trump instead of Obama would you say the same?

I agree in some ways that it sounds desperate and I mean asking for records pretty much means they dont know anything and its likely nothing ever comes from it. I read this and was like mmmkay.

As much as I dont like Trump some of the things that come out, that are “anti” Trump, come off as just as manufactured and desperate too.

Its similar to when guys like Quick say negative things about Neil Olshey’s moves and all the anti Neil guys (like me sometimes!) jump up and down and say oh we knew Paul George couldve been here but he wouldnt give up CJ! It sounds good and fits the narrative we want to tell so we jump on it!

Then a guy like Woj says something sort of pro Neil Olshey and the guys who are more favorable to him says see I told you he’s working hard! It is so easy to find the narrative we like best and jump on it, or quickly dismiss something because its not the story we want to tell.

Haha sorry Julius this turned into more or less a rant, not really aimed at you though I suppose the first question was a little, but not in a condemning, “you just dont want to believe Obama did anything wrong sort of way,” just a question.

 

You have the most fascinating fantasies.

 

Is it bad that I really wish we’d impeach Trump or just shut up about it and vote him out in a couple years, because Trump showing up on my news feed every freaking day and like 3/4th of the off topic posts in here being about Trump is soooo old.

 

I'm more of the type that would like him to just resign in disgrace and get back to doing what he really loves to do....sensationalized media spin ...I was fishing for trout this morning and the Chinese National Olympic track coach, trainer and physical therapist walked by on the trail where I was with my wife....I greeted them in Chinese and my wife and I talked with them for an hour....they are in Eugene because they hired the U of O's trainer to work with their team. They were friendly and interested in what we did and what Taiwan is like etc...then their gov't babysitter showed up and they got nervous about talking freely....the guy probably heard my wife talking about being Taiwanese. Choose the news...don't let it choose you. Almost all of the political partisan crap I don't want to read is posted here anyway. The internet like S2 gives me headlines...whether I click on them is my own choice...I go through long stretches and take a break from it. At this point I've seen enough of Trump's gang to be thoroughly disgusted with the lot. I am always grateful that we have a free press here ...China doesn't print anything that would rock the political boat ...we're lucky here

 

lol, Is that where the posts come from? Ive actually had the thought, “where is this coming from” on multiple occasions...
That said I still think like the rest of my post implied we all have to be a little careful to not just hear what we want to hear and dismiss everything we dont.
