An indictment alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees.
The idea that doing something with someone who turns out to be a foreign asset makes you a conspirator is a bit ridiculous. I don’t see anyone in this community accusing Kathy Hochul of being a Chinese asset since she’s a Democrat, but accusing her of that would be ridiculous too. She probably didn’t know that her aide was a Chinese agent.
I mean, Kathy Hochul was clearly not unwitting in her money laundering… so if your comparison is to say these right-wing influencers were completely aware of their Russian ties and were not duped at all, I am down with that.
