When are they going to get to the Podestas?

The Department of Justice on Monday announced charges against a Russian national for conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian government while influencing American political organizations and politicians.
The DOJ said it arrested Maria Butina on July 15 for working at the behest of a high-level Russian government official in order to create inroads for him with unnamed Americans and American political organizations. She is accused of lobbying and advocating on behalf of the Russian government without registering as a foreign agent.
“From as early as 2015 and continuing through at least February 2017, Butina worked at the direction of a high-level official in the Russian government who was previously a member of the legislature of the Russian Federation and later became a top official at the Russian Central Bank,” the DOJ said in a press release. “This Russian official was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control in April 2018.”
The complaint lists myriad connections and meetings that Butina made with unnamed Americans and American political organizations as well as detailed transcripts of her communications with the high-level Russian government official. They detail Butina’s trips to the National Prayer Breakfast and an unnamed gun-rights conference as well as her retelling of her activities to the government official.
