Gee I wonder why they wanted to pay people like Tim Pool, et al to repeat that claim 


They weren't paid to to spread any claim. You're making shite up.

FARA is weak sauce, and the indictment paints them more as idiots than people who knew that this was a foreign oper ation and they were acting on behalf of a foreign entity.


Gotcha. How about Lauren Chen and her husband? Seems like they were a bit more directly involved.

Were the Youtubers good boys who dindu nuffin wrong and were duped or did they know the money from Tenet was dirty?

If the funding had been done in the open, would any of this be a thing?

Vautism is lying. Nowhere does it state they took money to spread "Russian propaganda"

One of the charges is money laundering related to RT evading sanctions, but absent that you can take money from Russia if you declare yourself a foreign agent (FARA). Not doing that was the other charge.

Do Tim, Benny, and Dave have no responsibility to vet people who offer them deals and sponsorships to make sure they are legit?

Is that your stance?

Calm down, janny. It was funny and poking fun at Hasan.

Have a laugh and chill out.

Question: Are you okay with influencers taking money from foreign countries with the explicit goal of influencing our elections and policy?

If an influencer is influencing our policy then we are fricked. Tim Pool for the most part calls it like he sees it. Even if I didn't listen to him I'd still have the same views. We just happen to agree in most things. Does that make me a Russian propagandist?

Isn't FARA one of those things that matters for some and not others? Or am I forgetting all those Clintonites being jailed for FARA infractions? (honest question)

Yes, there are some really specific technicalities to it and yes, they've increased enforcement.

No, but we're all influenced by the media we consume and we tend to underestimate its effects on us.

OK sure. The government prosecuting its enemies for constitutinally-protected activities is scandalous. I can agree with that.

The way you described it was pretty deceptive.

ETA: Here's your quote, again:

The Trump fake electors plot / him tweeting "... termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution" were both pretty... bad.

How about you read the indictment first before getting hyper defensive?

This is how governments launder their narratives. We will discount just about everything from the Russian government itself, so they try to get proxies we trust to say it instead.
