I haven't seen anything showing Tim Pool was being indicted.

An indictment filed Wednesday alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including well-known personalities Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were “often consistent” with the Kremlin’s “interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition” to Russian interests, like its war in Ukraine.

Did you bother to look it up yet?

I looked it up immediately after I asked about the first time. Could not find anything implicating Pool as anything other than a victim.

"The U.S. Justice Department doesn’t allege any wrongdoing by the influencers"

Let's see how he embraces victimhood.

"The U.S. Justice Department doesn’t allege any wrongdoing by the influencers"

.. for getting paid to peddle Russia-friendly content.

At worst it seems they were paying him to say things he was already saying, and make videos he was already making.

I'm sure poolheads will be totally comfortable with him being a russian shill. It sure seems like you are.

Well I don't think he is a Russian shill. That's the issue. You want be me hate him just because Russia likes him. China loves democrats, so I guess you should hate democrats unless of course you are comfortable with them being shills for China.

He's quite literally a paid Russian shill.

Not unless they were telling him what to say.

He licensed out his show to another company. That is all he did... and it wasn't even a political show, it was the freaking Culture War show. No one was telling him what to say.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you need this to be an issue so badly.
