CNN’s Tapper on Maria Butina: ‘Rhymes with Putin-a’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "There's another important Russia development. Accused Russian spy Maria Butina, rhymes with Putin-a, may have reached a plea deal with the Justice Department, she's accused of infiltrating Republican organizations and the NRA during the 2016 election to advocate for Russian interests. We should note, she was charged by federal prosecutors in D.C., not by the Special Counsel. But it sure looks like this is more evidence. Doesn’t necessarily mean President Trump knew anything or whatever, but a lot of evidence that the Russians were involved in the 2016 election. Obviously, the NRA is a powerhouse."
