I wonder who’s the most nervous about what Maria Butina is going to say next.
Between the latest court filing on Michael Flynn, the latest guilty plea from Michael Cohen, George Papadopoulos’ release from prison, the latest filings from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, and prosecutors directly implicating Donald Trump in a felony, you might be tempted to think there wouldn’t be any surprising court developments for a while.
There are some key elements of this story that are not yet clear, including whether Butina has struck some kind of deal with prosecutors in exchange for a guilty plea. That should come into focus in the next few days.
That said, if the suspected Russian secret agent is prepared to start cooperating with the Justice Department, it’s a safe bet Butina would have some interesting insights to share.
