A bunch of conservative influencers nabbed in Russian money laundering plot…hilarity ensues
- Thread starter ☑︎#VoteDemocrat
- Start date
It's hard for me to imagine them indicting anyone who didn't take the money directly.
But I wonder, if they do somehow find out that some of the talent "knew" about the source of the money, whether they'd go after them or not. Multiple people would have had to move idiotically to leave any trail of that at all, but we've seen it before.

I'm pretty sure she's not even a US citizen.
The NSA is probably having a field day it's a shame we'll never know about even half of what is going on
Right. It does sound like some of them were trying to conceal the source of the funds which is a red flag
Yup a really troubling aspect of this is that some of these people are so ideologically aligned with hostile states that they will have to find a paper trail and other hard evidence or other crimes to even convict them. Idk if the government would now but we're getting to that point with the small companies and influencers. Like RT etc they just cancelled their licenses and or made them register as foreign agents etc.
Were you aware at that Southern actually met Dugin? Like I wouldn't have put that together.
Russia/Soviets have been cultivating the far right/white supremacists movements forever
slightly ot but did you catch this? someone just called me about it
Not a surprise, he's already gone fully down that White Supremacist rabbithole.
And of course Elon Musk signal boosted that shyt and then tried to hide his hands.

I mean that really is the thing... not to mention the DOJ/FBI have been on what now a 10+ year foreign agent hunt in almost all aspect of life politicians/real estate/art/media/nonprofits/banks and on and on
the idea that anyone could be blind to what is actually going on is laughable imo

NEW: Tenet reporter Tayler Hansen claimed YouTube banned him after indictment—but YouTube confirmed he deleted his own channel in an apparent attempt to hijack victimhood and garner support for his new Rumble channel.

Hansen didn't respond to my request for comment, instead blocking me on X.
After I reached out to YouTube for a comment about Hansen's account, they posted this under the post where he claimed he was banned.

Meanwhile, Hansen is on his way to report on the "Haitian Crisis" story that has already been debunked by the city government of Springfield, Ohio.

@stevanzetti
Hansen has since unblocked me and has provided a comment, claiming he didn't delete his channel and is working with YouTube to resolve the issue. I have put in a comment request to a spokesperson with @TeamYouTube about it.

Hansen has once again blocked me after I repeatedly asked him to send me a full copy of the YouTube channel termination email, which includes a link to the channel they removed.

Search the full term watchTenetNow (without any spaces) on your fav MAGA influencer’s timeline to see how deep this goes. Tenet’s X account was created a year ago. Many pro Trump influencer bot accounts created in recent years have large following and fake profile pictures and no images/clips of themselves.

If you really are a journalist, as you claim to be, you should push @TeamYouTube to clarify their long-held policy of not allowing creators to operate other channels once they've had a channel terminated. YouTube did terminate one of his channels, so how does this policy apply?

I actually nearly forgot about this but did we all memory hole this happened last month?
This month, F.B.I. agents searched the homes of two prominent figures with connections to Russian state media: Scott Ritter, a former United Nations weapons inspector and critic of American foreign policy, and Dimitri K. Simes, an adviser to former President Donald J. Trump’s first presidential campaign in 2016. Prosecutors have not announced charges against either of the men.
