Admitted Russian Agent Butina Sentenced to 18 Months, Deportation

A federal judge on Friday sentenced Russian agent Maria Butina to 18 months in prison after Butina pleaded guilty in December to conspiring with a Russian official to infiltrate a gun rights group and influence U.S. conservative activists and Republicans.
U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan said the 18 months will include the approximately nine months Butina already has served in jail since her arrest in July. She also agreed to have Butina deported back to Russia after she completes her sentence.
"This was no simple misunderstanding by an overeager foreign student," Chutkan said before imposing the sentence, which was the same amount of prison time prosecutors had recommended.
Butina's lawyers had asked the judge to impose a sentence of time served, and the probation office had suggested a sentence of 12 months and one day.
Butina, a former graduate student at American University in Washington who publicly advocated for gun rights, begged the judge for mercy before her sentencing and expressed remorse.
Clad in a green prison jumpsuit, her voice broke at times as she read from a prepared statement.
"I have three degrees, but now I am a convicted felon with no job, no money," she said.
She also said she was "deeply sorry" and asked the judge for mercy.

The US government knows that Russian gun activist Maria Butina isn’t guilty of a crime, but sentenced her to prison anyway to avoid embarrassment, Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed.
“[The US] is just trying to save face,” Putin said while speaking at the 2nd Belt & Road Forum in Beijing on Saturday.
“There’s nothing they can charge [Butina] with, so to avoid looking ridiculous, they decided to slap her with 18 months in prison.”
The Russian president described Butina’s 18-month prison sentence as “a travesty of justice.”
The Russian gun activist arrived in the US in 2016 on a student visa. As part of her political activities, she made contacts within the National Rifle Association (NRA). She was arrested in July 2018 and charged with failing to register as an agent of the Russian government – what essentially amounts to working as an unregistered lobbyist.
Tellingly, her case was never part of Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump administration and the Kremlin. However, the media still had a field day with her arrest, even wrongfully reporting that Butina traded sex for political favors.

Following months of what the Russian Foreign Ministry described as "borderline torture" in jail, she pleaded guilty to the charge in December.

On Thursday she was sentenced to 18 months in prison, of which she has already served nine.
