The Department of Justice has begun a broad criminal investigation into Americans who have worked with Russia’s state television networks, signaling an aggressive effort to combat the Kremlin’s influence operations leading up to the presidential election in November, according to American officials briefed on the inquiry.
This month, F.B.I. agents searched the homes of two prominent figures with connections to Russian state media: Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector and critic of American foreign policy, and Dimitri K. Simes, an adviser to former President Donald J. Trump’s first presidential campaign in 2016. Prosecutors have not announced charges against either of the men.
. . .
The investigation comes in the wake of the Biden administration’s official intelligence findings that Russia’s state news organizations, including the global news channel RT, are working with its intelligence agencies to sway elections around the world.

It’s just a matter of time before they find the pre-interview Carlson-Putin blowjob tape.
Already saw it.

Is that guy who did the “midnight ride” to obstruct justice for Trump not in Congress anymore? Who was it, Devin Nunes? If so, good riddance. If not, throw him in there, too.
Devin (Wormtail) Nunes is no longer in Congress but is now chief executive officer of the Trump Media & Technology Group. Stock ticker is $DJT on NASDAQ. 📉
Many people believe it’s being employed as a vehicle to launder foreign money for Trump.
So, yeah he should probably be investigated as well.for good measure.
Of course he is. This is how he is rewarded for loyalty to Trump and treason to the country. Makes sense.
Being cozy with Putin is legally distinct to getting paid by a foreign government, though.
Fuck 'em up
You’re allowed to say whatever you want; freedom of speech. You’re not allowed to operate as an unregistered agent of a foreign power within the US.
If they’re not filling out their 1124 forms, then fuck 'em. To prison they go. It can be a little lesser version preview of how they are saying they like for things to work in their chosen country of emulation and praise.
Bruh. Maybe investigate the president who worked on behalf of the russian state.
A Trump advisor is a Russian asset?! Who could have known?! Who could have guessed?!

Don’t know anything about him beyond this YT clip, but I’m hoping someone has eyes on Kline Preston:

Isn’t Ritter the guy who retweets every RT take? And I’m 80% sure he was quoted on state TV a couple of times too. I’m sure he’s not doing that for free and there’s a paper trace to find.
That’s not very bi-partisan of them.
