Russia, 2015.
A 'totally innocuous' dinner hosted by RT, with Putin and Michael Flynn in attendance
Russia is still interfering with elections.
RT has been interfering for a very long time. The DOJ has only caught up with a few, and POS LOSER45 handed Flynn a pardon for his Russian contacts, lies to the FBI, Breaking FARA laws...etc. But finally maybe (maybe) something will happen here... anew.
Russian State-Controlled Media RT Employees Indicted
Deployed Nearly $10 Million to Publish RT-Curated Content, Which Garnered Millions of Views, Through a Tennessee-Based Online Content Creation Company. That company has been revealed to be “Company 1” is Tenet Media, which is a platform for 'independent content creators.' (Independent MAGA morons)
The 2 employees are "at large"
which means they will have fled the country by now and will soon be lauded by more state Russian TV and Putin...
Indictment PDF is HERE: https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366266/dl
Some of the so called "Independant" U.S. "influencers"
Some of the names coming up who worked with the Russian company are: Dave Rubin, Tim Pool, Benny Johnson ... and more who made millions and got a 100k signing bonus. Even Tucker Carlson who said he was radicalized by the Russian bread when in Moscow doing a laughably soft puppe interview with Putin, was mentioned.
DOJ also seized 32 internet domains that were built to look like legitimate U.S. news organizations and Russians used to distribute misinformation about the election. The company posted 2,000 videos that got a combined 16 million views on YouTube. Two founders of the company had 2.4 million and 1.3 million YouTube subscribers, respectively. The founders made themselves fake personas, however, repeatedly referred to their funding source as “the Russians,” according to the indictment.
Interesting, being Benny Johnson said he will sue if anyone accuses him of knowing. Okay Benny. I will just remind everyone that you like shitting on floors for attention and were fired from Buzzfeed when found guilty of plagiarizing 40 different times, Benny was then hired by National Review. Being a RW liar and floor shitter are a prerequisite.
Oh the irony Benny- accusing the Biden team of a conspiracy
Benny has a family now...
So like Pizzagate instigators Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich, he is a "christian all American clean as a whistle MAGA boy! Here is is being another ironic joke shmoozing with domestic terrorists from the "Boogaloo."
DOJ outlines Russia’s disinformation campaigns
Video of Garland's message and a White House spokesperson transcript are here: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/doj-outlines-russias-disinformation-campaigns-designed-to-interfere-with-u-s-election
Faux "news" has words...and shills for Russia...
Being the the 2 are being charged with conspiracy to violate FARA...the same charge that was violated by Michael Flynn, Elliott Broidy, several tRUMP advisors and many, many of tRUMP money laundering buddies when he kiboshed the 10 year investigation... and of course the POS Jared Kishner and Colludy Giuliani, who should have been investigated and charged...and tRUMP's sons as well... I expect this will be a hand slap.

UPDATE 3
Trump sent COVID tests to Putin in 2020
Even though there was a shortage of testing machines in the US. Even though Russia was under sanctions. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/08/bob-woodward-new-book-war-trump-putin-biden/
In contact with Putin 7 times
Also, there was this...
tRUMP is still complaining there were shortages of supplies because Obama left him nothing in the warehouse reserves when COVID began. That is not only a lie but they shipped out USA PPE and masks to china while American healthcare workers wore cloth masks made by violunteers and garbage bags for PPE.
Feb 2020 Here is Pompeo bragging they are shipping MORE! https://www.newyorker.com/news/letter-from-trumps-washington/the-coronavirus-and-how-the-united-states-ended-up-with-nurses-wearing-garbage-bags
MAGA?
No...make Russia, China, N Korea, great again!
Trump is a national security risk.
Trump calls Putin ‘genius’ and ‘savvy’ for Ukraine invasion
Trump says he would encourage Russia to ‘do whatever the hell they want’ to any NATO
country that doesn’t pay enough
Trump sides with Putin over US intelligence
Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador
Russian assets/traitor tour!
UPDATE 2:
This seems like a Russian talking point as well, and telephoned by MAGA a'holes. It has everything; animals, foreigners, hatred, racism, bigotry, animals being eaten...
Officials in Ohio tried to deny it was happening, but the MAGA minions were quick to get their lies in... Catturd really did run over his own dog. He has a ton of animals and literally was not paying attention... because he was hauling logs. He says the dogs are usually always in the truck when he worked and wants sympathy because his dog ran under the wheel. If you have a ranch and millions from the GQP for being an "influencer," you could build a huge dog kennel for them all... you proud of being a POS turd!!
Are you really good at rescuing animals if you run over an animal with your truck on your own property?
Using racist tropes as political fodder...again...
GYM used the official House Judiciary GOPas well as his own official account. His sleaze has no slime bottom.
POS Vance got 4m views FFS!
All the a'holes joined in...
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baseless-claim-haiti-immigrants-cats-springfield-ohio/
All of that was likely to try to get people's minds off of the Russian debacle, but, if anything it looks like THEY were duped into a fake story because it aligned with their racist ideology.. No matter how racist, bigoted, offensive or obviously fake. These are the same people who claimed that the Clinton's were doing nothing for Haiti... and pretending to care about Haitians...
Oh, and a Russian asset you met in the main story... chimed in...
There is more...if you care to wade into the crap...
Weirder than weird!
Here are examples of the tons of disinformation trolls you can find everywhere on social media; either Russian propaganda spewer and useful idiot or Russian troll....
Tim Pool, Russian asset... You met him the main story...
Freedom Canada
Tucker Carlson Russian asset
Tucker Carlson says women serving in the military are “disgusting” and like "walking by a pile of feces." I can't copy or download from threads. Video here: https://www.threads.net/@kamalahq/post/C_qm3qxxuJj
Loopy Loomer... Russian asset
There us a thread that I can't access as I am no on amy social media. If anyone can access and copy here or in the main page, that would be wonderful. https://x.com/MrsButters/status/1832440028313874818
Loomer is a Russian asset which is likely why tRUMP loves her and wants her as his press secretary.
And then there are the daily trolls who do nothing but pass on disinfo on every site. They are thrilled to pass on anything that makes tRUMP look good, Dems look bad. tRUMP and the people who cry "fake news" are the worst offenders...
The dumb thing about this is they had to cook a story when in actuality Dem President Wilson did send FLU sick soldiers into WW1 and let people think it started in Spain because he sure as hell didn't want to take credit for all those unnecessary deaths... Which also means this story was likely concocted outside the US... tRUMP Erodes Public Trust; in the 1918 Flu Epidemic, the More Government Lied, the More People Died
"But they have the same last name!"
The rest of this was erased, dammit! That is not Gates' great grandfather. The other source omfpwas in the gile I already erased and I can't do searches unless I have more context.

UPDATE 1
Former Trump Campaign Adviser Charged Over Work for Russian State Media
Russian-born U.S. citizen Dimitri Simes and his wife were charged with violating U.S. sanctions through their work the sanctioned Russian state television network RT and an oligarch and laundering the proceeds.
He is all hurt because the US is violating his first amendment rights… (He has dual citizenship)
He worked under Nixon as an ‘unofficial foreign policy adviser’ before tRUMP. Je was named in the Meuller report over a hundred times and is a confidant of Jared Kushner. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/dimitri-simes-trump-adviser-charged-russian-media-1235095777/
WTF…
‘Hours after the Justice Department announced it is charging a former Trump adviser over his work with Russian media, Donald Trump made a shocking promise: He’ll lift U.S. sanctions on Russia.’ https://newrepublic.com/post/185652/trump-sanctions-promise-adviser-charged-russia-media
