Mic reporter Emily Singer has deleted a tweet and apologized after stating that an alleged Russian spy who was recently arrested was photographed in the Oval Office in 2017.
"I thought this was a photoshop, but its not. This is Maria Butina --- arrested for being a spy --- in the Oval Office with Trump," Singer originally wrote on Twitter Tuesday morning.
The woman in the photo was quickly confirmed by other outlets to actually be National Security Council staffer Cari Lutkins.
The photo was retweeted nearly 4,000 times and liked more than 5,800 times before Singer deleted it.
"OK all, this may be Cari Lutkins from the NSC. I may delete this tweet..." Singer first wrote before apologizing.
I've deleted the tweet. I cannot confirm that it is Butina and may be an NSC staffer," she added after deleting the initial tweet.
"This morning I made a serious error in tweeting about a meeting in the Oval Office in 2017. The information was incorrect, and I deleted the tweet within an hour, as soon as I realized the mistake. I apologize for any confusion," wrote Singer on Tuesday afternoon.
The 29-year-old Butina, a Russian citizen, was charged on Monday for allegedly conspiring "to act as an agent of the Russian Federation within the United States without prior notification to the Attorney General, the Department of Justice announced.
The court filings detail the Russian officials and Butinas efforts for Butina to act as an agent of Russia inside the United States by developing relationships with U.S. persons and infiltrating organizations having influence in American politics, for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Russian Federation, reads a release from the Department of Justice.
Singer is listed as a "Senior writer, Navigating Trump's America" on her Mic bio page.
And, Clinton brought actual communist spies and arms dealers to the White House and took money from them,
The above is Wang Jun with the then President Clinton.
PLA spies and agents, in the White House, providing campaign cash.
That was real.
Because it certainly can’t be that Hillary was a terrible candidate. Must be the Russians!
What a difference one little election makes to the Left's worldview. Real that they mercilessly mocked Romney in 2012 for calling Russia a geo-political threat to the US.
When Romney made his statement in 2012, Democrats pounced, including President Barack Obama. During a debate, Obama said, The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, The statements that Governor Romney makes show little understanding of what is actually going on in the 21st century. He is not up to date, Albright continued, and that is a very dangerous aspect. Thats just an example of his 20th century approach to 21st century issues.
Hilary said, "Its somewhat dated to be looking backwards, playing off President Obamas remarks that Romney was stuck in a Cold War mind warp. (She then, during the same interview, goes on to compare the Russians to Nazis... but of course, nobody bothered to point out her glaring self-contradiction.)
VP Joel Biden said that Romney belonged to a small group of Cold War holdovers.
Secretary of State John Kerry said, Mitt Romney talks like hes only seen Russia by watching Rocky IV, he said.
MSNBCs Chris Matthews and Rachael Maddow both mocked Romney, claiming he was merely trying to copy Ronald Reagan.
He read about Reagans private, outside-the-CIA cabal of team-B zealots who were telling him that Russia had all the stuff they didnt have so he could justify a giant defense budget, Maddow said.
I dont know what decade this guys living in, Matthews said. Is he trying to play Ronald Reagan here, or what?

Nobody in the media would want to purposely put out erroneous or disingenuous information for political gain or influence... That’s illegal... Well... If you’re a Russian it is... If your a left wing lunatic or, as they are more commonly referred to, a member of the mainstream press... Then it’s all good as long as you say ‘Sorry, my boo boo.’
Not even good for sex.
First, not worth it. Second, if they have any personal information about you at all, such as a cell number, then the potential of having to deal with this idjit after the encounter is high.
Not worth it.
“Good for casual sex” sounds like a euphemism for being patient zero of any number of STDs. Should have a warning label tattooed near the danger zone.
And a mesh steel guard covering the danger zone. Safety First!
And if you reject their nutjob conspiracy theories they report as fact YOU are a traitor and aligned with Putun.
There was extreme disappointment here when the Clintons were elected.
(We got two for the price of one.)
But, never was there any idea of how far down they would drag the country.
Amazing.
IMHO
After they got away with murdering Vince Foster (with a big assist from the Deep State—including all mainstream media outlets and most Republican Congressmen and Senators) many of us here realized just how dangerous they were....and that was twenty five years ago...
Guilty as charged.
I didn’t know “Singer” was an Irish name.
Vladimir Putin (left) confers with Russian spy Ludmila Sputnika (right) about their joint venture with Barack Obama to make sure no conservative Republicans are elected in November.
...and that was twenty five years ago...
One wonders if ,in another twenty five years, theyll be written up as heroes of the revolution in the official history of the American Soviets. (along with the hardcore leftists scattered about the U.S.)
IMHO
