46. On February 6, 2017, BUTINA emailed a National Prayer Breakfast organizer to thank him for "the gift of you [sic] precious time during the National Prayer Breakfast week—and for the very private meeting that followed. A new relationship between two countries always begins better when it begins in faith. Once you have a chance to rest after last week's events, I have important information for you to further this new relationship. I would appreciate one brief additional meeting with you to explain these new developments. I remain in Washington, D.C. pursuing my Master's Degree at American University. My schedule is your schedule!" (emphasis added)
