Tell me if I'm too far off base here. I feel like this girl was arrested and is being held without bail because she is associated with the NRA and went to a "prayer breakfast" and hence is on the side of conservatives, and that is what makes her "suspicious" as a dangerous Russian spy.

This feels to me like a political imprisonment. It feels like we are doing what the Soviet Union did, imprisoning someone for their beliefs.
Is this the FBI and the DOJ going ahead and becoming the American version of the KGB? Or do they have anything legitimate against this girl? Or is it their version of throwing a tantrum, take it out on some innocent girl who happens to look like a smelly Trump voting deplorable, because they can't get Trump himself?
What's going on here?

Take a look at what they are doing to Manafort.
The KGB would be proud.

Well, the belief about this girl is that she is an unregistered agent of Russia engaged in political activity in the US. That is against the law.
She was denied bail because there was a belief that she is a high flight risk.
Do you have reason to doubt that this is true?

I don't know if it's true or not, but if it is, where are the arrests of foreign nationals engaging in political activities that are of leftist bent?

Awaiting Russian extradition.
This is not the poster child of leftist bias that you are looking for.

Have to agree she is not where the right wants to go pointing fingers. She targeted right wing leaders, and influencers. Which is a smart thing, given that the right side controls the prez, congress, senate, and SCOTUS. Maybe she is the first of an advance guard which has figured out that the left has little or no power of change, so they might as well cozy up to the right.

Uh oh......as usual, look just a little deeper and guess who's administration pops up in the conversation.
