Now that Paul Erickson—boyfriend of #Russian 🇷🇺 spy/honeypot Maria Butina—has been INDICTED, Butina’s other “friends” should be VERY worried:

“Putin is deadly serious about building a good relationship with Mr. Trump. He wants to extend an invitation to Mr. Trump to visit him in the Kremlin before the election. Let’s talk through what has transpired and Senator Sessions’s advice on how to proceed.” 

“The Kremlin believes that the only possibility of a true reset in this relationship would be with a new Republican White House,”

“Ever since Hillary compared Putin to Hitler, all senior Russian leaders consider her beyond redemption.”

Paul Erickson, the American political operative and boyfriend of admitted Russian agent Maria Butina, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in South Dakota on charges of wire fraud and money laundering.

The indictment alleges that Erickson ran a criminal scheme from 1996 to 2018 using a chain of assisted living homes called Compass Care. Erickson also allegedly defrauded investors through a company called Investing with Dignity that claimed to be “in the business of developing a wheelchair that allowed people to go to the bathroom without being lifted out of the wheelchair.” The indictment says he also ran a fraudulent scheme that claimed to be building homes in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota.

If convicted, Erickson faces up to 20 years in federal prison for each count.
