    When it's RUSSIA - YES!! I'm shocked you even asked the question. You need to understand that Russia, Putin specifically, wants to destabilize democratic governments in the West. Infiltrating and influencing a democracy is just about as bad as it can get and any American complicit with that plan is a damned traitor.

    Acting as a foreign agent- not sure, but I think that is as an agent of a foreign government. Not foreign private citizens or corporations.

    Yes! As long as the party is not Democrat and as long as the country is not China, Iran, any African Nation, any Arab nation, and South American nation or Asian nation.

    Other than that it is a crime.

    Basically they have kept her in jail all this time until she cries uncle. Don't go along with the government prosecution, even when wrong, you get ruined.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    It almost seems DOJ has been taking lessons from Stalin.

    There is nothing in that CNN article that suggests actual criminal activity.

    And from Mao! The Chairman smiles down on the American Police State!

    The Dem/Communist Party is learning well.

    One of you please mention the word "patriot" ever again.
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    - Jefferson Davis
