Crime: Maria Butina and Paul Erickson Agree to work for Russia

In March 2015 both Maria and Paul agreed to conspire with the Russian government making both of them Russian spies with contracts. Their covert operations would be directed by their handler Torshin for the Kremlin to affect politics in America. 

Open Question: Was Trump involved at this early date? If not, when? We know Trump used Cohen in Nov 2015 to signal willingness to Russia.

Verified: In court documents: Maria Butina’s court documents released Dec 13, 2018.


That History Story, 

was first published on TST 7 years ago.

The flashcard inspired by it is this.

All this is part of the broader TST project.
Tidbits make it possible to build slowly and honestly, without losing track of where an idea came from.
Rather than publishing for immediacy, the TouchstoneTruth project releases one edition per week of the TST Weekly Column while allowing ideas to mature long before and long after publication.

The end!
