Wednesday the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) top cop, Attorney General Merrick Garland, announced charges against two employees of the Kremlin-funded media outlet RT for participating in “a $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging.”
Wednesday the U.S. DOJ unsealed an indictment against two Russian nationals, accusing them of setting up a conservative media outlet, Tenet Media, as a front for pro-Kremlin propaganda. The indictment didn’t name the Tennessee-based company founded in 2023, or its founders, Canadian conservative commentator Lauren Chen and her husband Liam Donovan.
While Chen and Donovan were not named in the indictment, and have not been criminally charged, two Russian nationals, Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva, remain at large after being charged with conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The DOJ is accusing Russia of funding a company known as Tenet Media by way of RT alleging that company then paid conservative American media personalities “known for spreading pro-Russia talking points”. The DOJ is claiming that conservative commentators such as Tim Pool, David Rubin, Benny Johnson, and Lauren Southern, received large sums of money from Tenet Media and unwittingly aided spreading Russian misinformation. The DOJ has said the charges are only against the two Russians and not the conservative Internet personalities. The DOJ stated in their indictment that the Internet personalities were deceived about the true source of their funding.
Still, in this country one is innocent until proven guilty but the damage to these conservative content providers was instant. And what the DOJ noted as examples of misinformation are actual truths. We can take the example of Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” of 4 years ago as proof.
YouTube was the main platform for videos produced by Tenet Media of these popular conservative media personalities. Following the allegations by Garland on Wednesday, Thursday YouTube announced it has “terminated” Tenet Media and other channels run by Lauren Chen, a conservative influencer linked to allegations that Russia paid for right-wing content in the US.

Tim Pool’s supporters responded to the news speculating a conspiracy theory involving vice president Kamala Harris. Last week Pool claimed that he was thinking of filing a lawsuit against the Harris campaign for defamation after her campaign posted a video to X showing the podcaster calling for the government to be filled with pro-Trump loyalists to carry out mass arrests against Democrats. Pool correctly called out the Harris campaign’s mischaracterization of him as a “Trump operative” was false and defamatory. He said her campaign put his life and the lives of his family in danger.
JUST IN: Tim Pool is threatening to take legal action against the Harris campaign for threatening his safety.

The incident came after Kamala HQ, the Harris campaign’s X account which is notorious for sharing misinformation, shared yet another blatant lie.

It will be interesting to see if Elon Musk now removes all Kamala Harris related accounts from “X” (formerly twitter) for spreading misinformation like the account of “Kamala HQ” keeps doing. They keep bringing up Project 2025 in connection with former President Donald Trump when he has repeatedly said he has nothing to do with this Heritage Foundation draft policy document.
In an X post by the Readhaded libertarian, “Timcast takes steps to sue Kamala Harris for defamation and winds up on an list within 72 hours,” a post that went viral. Countless other conservatives observed the same.
CONCLUSION:

Nobody likes to be falsely accused of something they didn’t do and that probably now includes Russian President Vladimir Putin. It may have been kind of funny the first time the Democrats pulled this false Russia-Russia-Russia charade against President Donald Trump. But now it is getting old. Apparently this time AG Merrick Garland went a little too far as President Putin actually responded that he wants Kamala Harris to be the next president of the United States and not Donald Trump again.

If Garland does not feel like a perfect idiot right now, he should. Talk about a guy exposed in a charade in real time! WOW! And President Putin trolling Harris for her cackle, brilliant!
Anybody with a brain capable of logical reason knows Putin would not want to see Trump in the Oval Office again. That is just common sense reasoning.
AG Merrick Garland should immediately be impeached for violating our Constitution and our First Amendment Right to Free Speech. He is a partisan shill who will go down in history as initiating the practice of lawfare which could very well lead to a civil war. Any lawyer engaging in lawfare should immediately be disbarred by the American Bar Association (ABA) or the practice of law ceases as a profession.
All the proof you need Garland is worthy of impeachment is the two Russians being prosecuted here for “money laundering” in this case while the Biden Crime Family gets a free pass. Garland just proved he does know what money laundering is and how to prosecute it!
