DOJ Gloats About Uncovering Pathetic Russian Propaganda

The Department of Justice announced that they had indicted several individuals last week who were allegedly using Russian government money to spread propaganda in the United States. But even if everything in the indictment is true, these efforts were lackluster, at best. Mike Papantonio & Farron Cousins discuss more.

The Department of Justice announced that they had indicted several individuals last week who were using Russian government money, according to them, to spread propaganda in the United States. But even if everything in the indictment is true, these efforts were so lackluster. I was glad to see Ken Klippenstein is, you know what I think of him, he's a great writer. He's just so on point. But he says, look, he made a comparison. He said, all of the money that these two people have been accused of doing, they were able to generate 2000 videos. Okay. And the views were 16 million views with the 2000 videos. He said, if that's a success, Klippenstein said, I generate 463 million views with just what I do in my little blog. We're kinda the same situation. If all we generated was 16 million views with what we do, we'd be out of business.
Right. And if we had 2000 videos that only got 16 million views, it's time to pack it up. We get 16 million in about a week or two weeks at this point.
Exactly.
And that's off 50 videos. So it is laughable how pathetic the scheme was. And just so everybody knows, the podcasters and the people that were being paid, none of them were hit with any charges. Basically they were doing stupid things without even realizing it. They didn't ask questions about where the money came from, and technically they didn't have to. But common sense would say, well, wait a minute, where'd you get $10 million? But anyway, they were just happy to get the money. But the two individuals were only charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent.
That's what I was gonna say right there. Now, okay, you had Garland. What a disaster. Garland's up in front of, like, we have uncovered the most vast spy network ever uncovered in America. Well, no, you really didn't, Garland. You're making an issue out of something that, yeah, it's good we're paying attention to it. But to tell the American public that the DOJ has really uncovered this vast conspiracy, it's a disservice. Because as I'm listening to that, I want to say, you know, Garland, how about you prosecute, if you want to prosecute somebody, how about you prosecute the manufacturers of opioids that killed 150 people a day for 10 years? Okay. Addicted more people than we can count. They could easily be charged with manslaughter. I don't think there's any question about it. Why don't you do that?
Or Garland, why don't you deal with the thousands of people who were dying from exposure to PFAS because the manufacturers knew exactly what they were doing. They put it into our, they spread it all over the world, and people are dying because of it. Why don't you do something about it? Why don't you do something about HSBC or banks, all the banks that were with HSBC who admitted, admitted, signed a document, yes, we washed money for terrorists? We washed money for drug cartels. We washed money for cartel traffickers involved in human trafficking. Why don't you do something about that? Why don't you prosecute them? Instead, every one of those, those three facts that I just gave you, they had all of the information and they let 'em walk. Nobody was prosecuted. But here we've got 'em acting like this is just revolutionary. We've got this huge spy ring taking place in the United States. It's disturbing to me, man.
What about Boeing? Right. Boeing kills hundreds of people. The DOJ announces this year, uh, we're gonna let 'em go. They violated the non prosecutorial agreement we had. But we're gonna be okay with that.
Well, talk about that just a second. Explain that a little bit just to show how ridiculous this is. That's why Klippenstein said, you guys are a bunch of freaks. You're wasting our time.
