Details of Maria Butina's cooperation quickly removed from court website
"Russian political conspirator Maria Butina is set to meet with federal prosecutors in Washington and Virginia over the next several weeks, according to a court filing that was posted and quickly removed from a federal docket Friday afternoon.
US attorneys may want to interview Butina in their offices well into January, according to the filing. She may also be requested to appear at the grand jury in Washington, according to the filing, which is a request to a federal judge to allow the currently detained Russian to be transported by the FBI for cooperation interviews."

I doubt Butina has anything of interest to add to the Mueller investigation.
My take on Butina is that she was sent to US in an attempt infiltrate the GOP through the NRA. I don't believe she was a super spy or anything like that. My guess it that the FSB has people who try to recruit non spies and just tell them to embed themselves into American society. Maybe they give them a little bit of training, non spy stuff, maybe some communication stuff. In the case of Butina they gave her some low grades firearms training, and an introduction into how to debate (meaning support) the American stance on the second amendment. She met a few low hanging fruit in the GOP, and of course when one of the Trumps were around she was sure to attend to try to meet them.
Or I might be wrong. Maybe she was a professionally fully trained spy.
Either way she wouldn't have much information about the Trump investigation.
