    Showerthought: Being a defense lawyer in mostly authoritarian countries has got to be like the worst job.

    Don’t go to Russia.

    Don’t go to Russia to visit your family. Don’t go for business. Don’t go for vacation. Don’t even go there on your way to somewhere better.

    Don’t go to Russia.

    Now we’ll end up trading her for some shitbag mass murdering arms dealer.

    Being a defense lawyer in authoritarian countries must feel like playing a game you can never win.

  4. She’s been living in the US since 2012, became a citizen in 2021. The $50 donation was on the first day of the war.

    The court proceedings aren’t public. Russian media claim she organized fundraisers and ultimately donated thousands. I think this claim cites unnamed sources in the court system.

    Sarcastically, dollar for dollar this seems like a good way to drain money and resources from Putin’s Russia. 12 years of prison expenses for only $50???
