WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A 29-year-old Russian woman living in Washington has been arrested and charged with conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian government while developing ties with U.S. citizens and infiltrating political groups, the U.S. Justice Department said on Monday.

According to the complaint against her, she worked with two unnamed U.S. citizens and the Russian official to try and influence American politics and infiltrate a pro-gun rights organization.

The complaint does not name the group; however, photos on her Facebook page show she has attended events sponsored by the National Rifle Association.

She arranged dinners in Washington and New York City and tried to develop relationships with American politicians in order to establish “back channel” lines of communication to “penetrate the U.S. national decision-making apparatus to advance the agenda of the Russian Federation,” the complaint said.

There are some Russian waitresses at the Perkins by my house. You know damn right they spy on me when I order pancakes. Probably a listening device in the syrup jar.

But the pancakes are still delicious.

I went just today to get some of my favorite salad dressing. There was none to be found at any store. All gone.

Turns out Mule ear had indicted every last bottle and is holding them in solitary confinement until trial.

I'd need to be infiltrated first. And well.

Let me get this straight, someone tries to influence an election by doing exactly what? Trying to infiltrate a political organization. Does that mean that no foreigner should try to influence any political action? How about all those illegals or even legal aliens who demonstrate for this or for that cause or whom may even be contributors to a certain party? Does that not count, and if it does not, why not?

Huh...

So an illegal immigrant tried to execute her liberties and take part in the government process she supported. Of course it’s not a socialist organization or LaRaza (which is also a political organization with contacts in back channels of government) or say China...

No no... it’s someone trying to infiltrate the NRA?

None of this makes sense - other than a political witch hunt by the deep state:

Junior Brown Cagey Bea Lyrics

She’s a real Russian beauty
Balaclava totin’ cutie
She’s a whole lotta fun on a date
And she’s an undercover agent
and I’m just another fool
she is tryin’ to investigate

Her name is double agent
Beatrix Knock’emoff the third
and she’s a threat to national security
in the undercover world
she’s a pretty cagey girl
that’s why they call her Cagey Bea

Cagey Bea, Cagey Bea
cageyist babushka in the land of the free
getting secrets undercover
from so many others
but she’s only gettin’ lovin’ outa me.

I met a gal the other day
in a strange sort of way
takin’ pictures of my house from her car
she said she was a tourist
but she seemed more adventurist
than just a girl from the USSR
she was handing out the borscht
so I jumped right in her porsche
and felt a wire going right up my sleeve
by the time we started kissing
half of Moscow was listening
to the prisoner of Cagey Bea

Cagey Bea, Cagey Bea
why’d you go and play them dirty tricks on me
getting secrets undercover
from so many others
but your only gettin’ lovin’ outa me.

And she has a Facebook account. She must be the one that cost Hillary the election.

If this is infiltration, why is it illegal? Should be legalized immediately.

has attended events sponsored by the National Rifle Association

Color me confused, but why would the Russians want to infiltrate the National Rifle Association? On the internet libs are saying it was part of the Russians' efforts to "get Trump elected." So, was the NRA on the verge of endorsing Hillary, and due to this Russian honeypot's machinations they were persuaded to switch? LOL!

Here's a link to the DOJ affidavit giving details of the alleged crimes:

https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1080766/download

It's a huge pile of corrupt FBI deep state horsesh!t.

This woman hung out with people from the NRA and a few politicians and attended a few public political events, and reported on her interactions back with her sponsors from Russia - who are not alleged in the affidavit to be members of Russian intelligence btw.

After reading the affidavit, it's clear she hasn't committed a single crime. It sounds like she wanted to be part of starting an NRA-like organization in Russia.

Here's the DOJ press release:

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/russian-national-charged-conspiracy-act-agent-russian-federation-within-united-states

If this lady gets herself a competent lawyer, it's going to be another embarrassment for DOJ/FBI dirty cops. It's sounds like they were running some kind of sting so they could go after the NRA. And they got bupkis.
