Breakfast with Pussy Riot

Possible further evidence that Pussy Riot is run by the USG. 

Joshua Keating at Foreign Policy writes in article titled, Breakfast with Pussy Riot:

This morning I had the opportunity to meet, along with several other journalists, with two members of Russian punk collective Pussy Riot at the Washington offices of Human Rights First. They are in Washington meeting with members of congress, State Department staffers, and NGO officials to advocate on behalf of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina -- the two members of the group who are still being held in remote penal colonies on hooliganism charges over a February, 2012 performance at Moscow's Christ the Savior Cathedral. There are currently eight members of Pussy Riot -- though membership is somewhat fluid -- including Tolokonnikova, Alyokhina, and Yekaterina Samutsevich, who was released on probation last October.

It's an odd sort of publicity tour. For security reasons, "Fara" and "Shaiba," who appeared to be in their 20s, did not provide their real names, did not allow themselves to be photographed without their trademark balaclavas, and refused to discuss details about their backgrounds or travel itinerary. They did say that they have been in the United States for "several days" and theGuardian reported yesterday that they had made an unannounced appearance at a feminist bookstore in New York this week. 

The  chairman of Human Rights First is a name partner in the powerful Washington DC/Wall Street law   firm, Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP. Also on the board are Binta Niambi Brown of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, Dan Doctoroff of Bloomberg LP, Donald Francis Donovan, Debevoise & Plimpton LLP and Lewis B. Kaden, Vice Chairman & Chief Administrative Officer, Citigroup, Inc. Bottom line: This is not some barely surviving outfit. In fact, they have two major league offices.One in NYC at 333 Seventh Avenue,
13th Floor and another in Washington DC at 805 15th Street, NW, Suite 900. That is, we are talking serious major league insider connections for Pussy Riot.
