Originally aired March 2nd, 2021: Without a Sam, Loren and Shawn are again joined by singer songwriter Matthew Wallace to discuss Russian Espionage and Maria Butina! They start the episode discussing Joe Biden and the stimulus checks, and meander back into discussing convicted Russian covert operative Maria Butina, a gun rights activist in Russia who used her platform to infiltrate the American National Rifle Association in an attempt to establish back-alley ties with powerful Republicans and conservative figures with an attempt to make contact with then-President Donald Trump. The story is like a slapstick comedy movie about an incompetent spy who, somehow, got at least SOME work done.
