Fun Fact: Butina/Russia states this plan was all developed informally in 2015. In 2010 Anna Chapman, the Russian Spy became advisor to Youth Guard of United Russia when Butina was member. Then the next year Butina’s going after NRA. So yeah. Coincidence? Takes a lot of Planning https://t.co/2xlGD7yr2l
