Today's guest is Casey Michel, an investigative reporter at ThinkProgress, a member of the Advisory Council for the Hudson Institute's Kleptocracy Initiative, and a senior investigative fellow with the Human Rights Foundation. Casey has written about and followed Maria Butina’s case closely since she was arrested last July, and he kindly joined The Russia Guy to talk about her sentence and answer some of my questions about her case, specifically about the role of money, a declaration by former FBI counterintelligence expert Robert Anderson, Alexander Torshin, James Bamford, and more.Follow Casey on Twitter here:https://twitter.com/cjcmichelAnd read his work at ThinkProgress here:https://thinkprogress.org/author/casey-michel/Support this very podcast here:www.patreon.com/kevinrothrockMusic:Ну погоди, episode 14, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncHd3sxpEbo&t=7sОлег Анофриев, Бременские музыканты, “Говорят, мы бяки-буки,” www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-3wC7gkMDQHenrik Lundkvist, “Kalinka on a Balalaika,” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hH5znHQ9QRYSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/kevinrothrock)
