More fake news coming soon. They're even nice enough to warn us ahead of time.

And I just want to add re. the (alleged) Russian spy Maria Butina:

If anyone is wondering how she was able to so easily reel in the Republican men, wonder no longer. Exhibit A:

Yeah, that will do it ;)

And here she is posing with Rick Santorum:

The problem with the narrative is that in Russia she is a well-known Navalny supporter, thus anti-Putin.

The GOP will see this a Clintonite attempt to discredit the NRA and GOP in the Putin-did-it controversy, which it likely is.

It will be interesting to see where this goes.

The standard NYT go-to, a complete fabrication. Like "unnamed intelligence officials citing secret documents". Fake news indeed.
