Now that was a good read and time line..

Steve Williams Saturday, December 15th 2018 at 11:49PM

I thought so too.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, December 16th 2018 at 3:06PM

Now you see how willfully The NRA was used by Butina sought to establish unofficial (NO BACK CHANNEL) lines of communication with Americans having power and influence over American politics by the Russians, don't you?

Steve Williams Sunday, December 16th 2018 at 3:46PM

I do not agree with Everytown for Gun Safety Ron. I do appreciate having a rational presentation of their position though.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, December 16th 2018 at 4:20PM

What is it that you disagree with in the Gun Safety report Steve?



Steve Williams Sunday, December 16th 2018 at 6:36PM

To begin with Ron, I completely disagree with this:

“It’s now official: An admitted agent of the Russian government was using the NRA to advance the Kremlin’s agenda. The American people deserve answers from NRA leaders, starting with why they gave an all-access pass to Butina. It’s time for the NRA to make good on its patriotic bluster and pull back the iron curtain on its relationship with Russia.”

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, December 16th 2018 at 10:28PM

“It’s now official: An admitted agent of the Russian government was using the NRA to advance the Kremlin’s agenda.

It is a FACT that Maria Butina pleaded guilty to “conspiracy to act as an agent of the Russian Federation within the United States without prior notification to the attorney general.” THAT FACT YOU CAN'T REFUTE BECAUSE THAT HAPPEN.

The American people deserve answers from NRA leaders, starting with why they gave an all-access pass to Butina.

I would like to know the answer to that response to that point mayself.

It’s time for the NRA to make good on its patriotic bluster and pull back the iron curtain on its relationship with Russia.”

Have you heard a word from your NRA since they got busted in their envelopment with Maria Butina?

I know that this is new news to you, isn't it?

Ron, I need proof Butina "was using the NRA to advance the Kremlin’s agenda."

"The American people deserve answers from NRA leaders..." is OPINION not fact.

"It’s time for the NRA to make good on its patriotic bluster..." is MEANINGLESS not fact.

"...pull back the iron curtain on its relationship with Russia.” is MEANINGLESS not fact.

"...NRA since they got busted" is FALSE. Nobody has been charged except Butina. There has been no "bust" of anyone else.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, December 17th 2018 at 11:25AM

"...NRA since they got busted" is FALSE. Nobody has been charged except Butina. There has been no "bust" of anyone else.

At least not yet. Steve, do you know who U.S. Person 1 is?

Steve Williams Monday, December 17th 2018 at 4:06PM

I haven't considered the question Ron. What do you think?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, December 17th 2018 at 7:49PM

All you have to do is read YOUR OWN POST FOR THE ANSWER, STEVE. WOW!!!

Steve Williams Monday, December 17th 2018 at 9:40PM

I just feel sorry for Maria Butina. She did nothing wrong.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, December 17th 2018 at 11:04PM

She used the NRA to sell out the country to Putin and you feel sorry for her. Is she your fellow comrade?

Steve Williams Tuesday, December 18th 2018 at 1:17AM

Our own leaders sold out the country Ron, having no respect for the voice of the people. Maria Butina is but one example of your lawless abuse.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, December 18th 2018 at 8:59AM

Of my lawless abuse, WOW!!! It was your NRA that was willfully being used to dismantle democracy and Putin is pulling your strings. You are Putin's puppet.

Steve Williams Tuesday, December 18th 2018 at 9:32AM

You were Putin's mark Ron and he gotcha!
