The Justice Department indicted an American commentator for Russian television on Thursday as part of a broader effort by the government to crack down on Russia’s attempts to influence American politics ahead of November’s presidential election.
Dimitri K. Simes, who was an adviser to Donald J. Trump’s first presidential campaign, and his wife, Anastasia Simes, were charged with violating economic sanctions against Russia for their work for Channel One, a state-owned television network.
The indictments come as the United States has been cracking down on Russian efforts to spread content from Russian broadcasters among American audiences, often by disguising its origins. Mr. Simes, who owns a home with his wife in Virginia but currently lives in Russia, has hosted a political talk show since 2022 on the network four nights a week on the network and another on Sundays.
Now do tucker
But without Tucker, how will we know that Russia has amazing things America lacks like shopping carts and fresh bread?
Yeah, in that video he showed how those rich fucks are so disconnected from reality.
They’re not going to indict a Company Man.
Ms. Simes, a jewelry designer, was also charged with money laundering
Hmm.
I distinctly remember reading about another woman who was operating as a jewelry designer being recently in the news.

Socialite, Widow, Jeweller, Spy: How a GRU Agent Charmed Her Way Into NATO Circles in Italy
The next day, 15 September 2018, a woman with a long, Latin-sounding name bought a one-way ticket from Naples, Italy, to Moscow. For around a decade, this individual had travelled the world as a cosmopolitan, Peru-born socialite with her own jewellery line. Later that evening, she landed in Moscow and is not known to have left Russia since.
The name on her passport was Maria Adela Kuhfeldt Rivera, and as Bellingcat and its investigative partners have discovered, she was a GRU illegal whom friends from NATO offices in Naples had for years believed was a successful jewellery designer with a colourful backstory and chaotic personal life.
It was shortly after she moved to Paris that she registered her own jewellery trademark in France under the brand Serein.
This was likely the seeding phase of a long-term plan by the GRU to deploy their illegal spy as a self-sufficient businesswoman and socialite. In the years that followed, it provided cover as she sought to access the highest echelons of NATO’s Allied Joint Force Command in Naples, Italy.

What about Carlson?
I wonder what all the fine folks at hexbear. Think about this. 😅
All of fox “news” is russian state TV.
Not really, Murdoch is definitely helping Russia right now, but he’s always got his own angle.
NewsCorpse aren’t Russian state news, they’re just strange bedfellows. NewsCorpse has their own agenda.
It really gets under my skin when you’ve got a very distinctly British kind of conservatism, but we write it off as Thing Evil Slavs Say because the Brits are supposed to be our friends.
