The people you mentioned were indicted for having wrong opinions.


They’re in trouble because they operated as foreign agents of the Russian Federation without notifying the Attorney General as required by law.

Sure thing Simp.

Gary Gensler was CFO of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential Campaign.

In today’s @FinancialCmte hearing, he UNDER OATH stated he was unaware that the Clinton campaign facilitated the payment for the Steele Dossier.

How could a campaign CFO possibly be unaware of a $1M+ payment? pic.twitter.com/eUnedDVT0o

They have to notify the Attorney General - the head of the federal govt.'s agency for prosecuting crimes - before voicing their unapproved opinions on Russia?

Look into the concept of prior restraint.

So, just to be clear, if I get a job offer tomorrow from the Russian government. And that job is to pay me to post memes on the internet. You think that should be illegal, and something that should have to registered with the government for?

These were not lobbyists or campaign staffers.

If more information comes out, maybe it will look different.

But anyone, and any government, should be allowed to advertise, post memes, comment on social media, etc.

These are not criminal offenses, regardless of the content or the source of payment.
