Whatever you do, DO NOT SHARE this photo of NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre with Russian agent Maria Butina. Apparently, Wayne wants it removed from the internet.

Maria Butina posed with every Trump Republican there is. They are all trying to get the pics scrubbed from the internet.

The Intelligence Community uncovered the Russian payments being made to U.S. Senators & Representatives through the NRA & Russian Agent Butina’s involvment in facilitating these payments! LaPierre is deeply involved! Keep an eye on what Putin has authorized Butina to tell FBI

ah, this explains Donald "John" Dump's recent off-the-wall support of a Russian

The Kremlin, he says, was only too happy to have another potential ally in Eastern Europe – one that was heavily dependent on Russian investments. The arrangement suited Montenegro’s leaders just fine. “Better the Russians come here with suitcases of money than with columns of tanks,” says the official.

After years of disputes over unpaid debts, the Russian billionaire sued Montenegro in 2014 for seizing the aluminum plant he controlled.


According to investigators in Montenegro, Russian agents soon began plotting to unseat the nation’s leaders and install a government more friendly to Moscow. By coincidence, the dispute came to a head in the fall of 2016, at the same time as the U.S. presidential race.

Wonder if we'll see Rick Santorum pontificating on CNN again--and if he does, whether they'll flash his photo op with Butina in the background.
