Russian woman charged with spying for Moscow by 'infiltrating' NRA

quote [ Maria Butina, 29, met US politicians and candidates to establish ‘back channels’ and secretly reported to Kremlin, DoJ alleges

A Russian woman has been charged with spying for Moscow in the US by infiltrating the National Rifle Association (NRA) in an attempt to influence the Republican party and American politics.
...
Two unidentified Americans, one of them described as a “political operative”, were said in the charging documents to have assisted Butina in her efforts to make political contacts in the US. Neither was charged with a crime. ]

If we live through this shit, this is material for a good movie or mini-series.

I just don’t think the NRA would jump out and advertise it. Clearly you are using it as a talking point, so even you imply it has merit (but you’ll gladly hide behind the anoyminity of the answer). Very brave.

But let’s say you knew the percentage, not the specific numbers or names. What would the numbers say (to you) if it was high or low? Has you already dismissed the correlation as irrelevant even as you’re reading this sentence?

Thanks for playing.
