Do you think Butina was ever an actual spy?

I doubt she was.

The Russians just don't mention her anywhere at all. Even now as they are proposing a prisoner exchange, they never mentioned her at all. As if they don't care about her at all.

I think she was just an ordinary gold digger, looking to prostitute herself to some rich politicians.

Most spies, when caught, are always ignored or disavowed by the host nation.
Butina is no different.

Probably not. More lies like women drinking from the toilets at the border. It sells well to the gullible.

Another dimwit apologising for Russia and their spies.

SAD!
