Reading the article causes ne to wonder, do our spies always introduce themselves as agents of the US Government/State Department or as NGO operators simply doing their job? SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint

There are a lot of rules on who we can use as a cover. With Americans we often have to show affiliation to MI. SO many rules...

I understand pre-trial detention because she is an international flight risk. What I wonder about are the national security implications? Any work to obtain classified materials, equipment, or information? Any effort to undermine the national security posture or overthrow the United States Government by force or by violence? Failure to register as a foreign agent - so charged. Managed by the FSB - so alleged. She was an obvious Russian national who openly posed as a Russian Graduate Student - filed the required immigration papers - and participated as an obviously interested person in American politics including participation with American gun rights advocacy politicians and groups. She was not a sleeper agent posing as an American citizen. She supposedly offered to have sex with one or more American men. Apart from her ongoing contacts with a Russian bank official what makes her an espionage operative inimical to the national security interests of the United States? All of her actions appear transparent. She appeared at NRA events. She was well-known there. There's lots of photos of her posing with Republicans. Everyone knew she was well-connected in Russia. So what is new in the indictment? She used unencrypted social media to communicate with her purported handler. She is not accused of using secret trade craft - encryption, dead drops, or covert messaging. What is the evidence this young woman is anything more than an ardent supporter of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution - that she was actually some kind of spy committing espionage against our country? Charges were filed, many people want to lock her up and throw away the key - but I have to ask on what evidence? Warmest Regards, Sandy :)

1LT Sandy Annala - Good Points She wasn't very Covert so calling Her a Spy or fitting the Legal Definition might be a Problem. Obviously a Russian Agent of Influence and not Shy in the Least About It. I still remember as a Child that Public Service Announcement on TV requiring Foreign Agents to Register, I Know they stopped playing that Ad a long time ago but I don't know if that is still a Requirement for Foreign Agents to Register, I believe that it is since that is what they have got the Trump Administration Officials that have Plead Guilty to Cop To so possibly they can get Her for not Registering.

1LT Sandy Annala You bring up some good questions. From your review, I do not see much of a case. Even if the Russians pay for her lawyer....USGov pays for lawyers overseas from BS charges....(IF you are in the wrong like traffic accidents, you will not get assistance.) ***The worry on this girl is that she was there to make Americans start over reacting. There is a thing called agent provocateur, this spends our intell services on a hunt wasting time...and something else happens after we over used our personnel.

1LT Sandy Annala - I also watched that move recently. Berlin was a good place to work...but I still hate the cold.

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - The complaint is a little thin to support claims she was a spy committing espionage.
Warmest Regards, Sandy :)
