The fantasy world that you all live in is extraordinary.
This is what she is guilty of.

WASHINGTON – Russian national Maria Butina pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiring to act as an agent for the Kremlin without registering in the United States.

She didn't fill out a form - everything that she actually did was legal.

Spies don't fill out forms, dumdum. Imagine our spies over in Russia going to the local bureaucrats to "sign up"? She's a spy who got caught.

How is she a spy?

Oh wait, Putin claimed that he and his intellegence officers had never heard of this girl before. We know that Putin and Trump never lie, so I’m sure it was all innocent. Russia doesn’t send Russians to other countries on missions. Never!

Here’s is an exercise in confronting your prejudices and biases. Imagine if this Russian spy was great friends with Hilary and her new boyfriend was head of the DNC. Would you still be trying to downplay its significance? If you said no, you might be a redneck. Hehe.

I’ll give you a hint on what makes someone a spy. If they don’t register as a foreign agent they might be trying to work undetected.

Something is not connecting for you.

Maybe you don't know what spy means?
