I agree, and you hear folks saying that she probably "helped" with other cases here in the USA which is why her sentence was so minuscule 🙄
Let me--Being Native-American & African woman--even ATTEMPT to go over to russua and try doing what that thing Butina did here in the USA 😆😆😆

I wish she meant that term when it was used as a term for basically being sent to jail for life (or death) in the former USSR. Putin misses those good ol' days.

There is a lot there we simply don't know much about.
