it appears you were right. maria gets her reward https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-russia-butina/russia-offers-job-to-maria-butina-woman-convicted-by-us-of-being-an-agent-idUSKBN1XS26M and her boyfriend gets his https://www.thedailybeast.com/paul-erickson-russian-agent-maria-butinas-boyfriend-pleads-guilty-to-fraud
The "boyfriend" pleaded guilty to at least one charge involving giving money to her, $1,000. The guilty plea came with an addendum--sealed. This often is the case with a plea agreement and a cooperation agreement. I'm guessing the NRA's attorneys are working tonight....
My wild guess is also that it may involve the NRA. Perhaps an investigation into the practice of accepting political contributions from a foreign government (Russia) and illegally funneling those funds into domestic politics?
