    Hot off the derp files.

    No shit.

    Fox News— Tucker Carlson, Shawn Hannity, Stepford Nazi edition wife Laura Ingraham and now Jesse Watters have been in the bag forever.

    Rupert Murdoch has been licking Pootie’s sack and trying to bring down democracy.

      secretly

      Man, everybody knows T-cucks is just a pile of worms in a suit. Worst-kept secret in media. IIRC, he had to admit it in court—in connection with that leaked texts scandal.

    I thought it was a Canadian company that then contracted out right-wing American personalities.

    I remember thinking when I heard it that it’s probably the smartest thing Russia could have done; sneak in the back door by using the Canadians as a go-between.

      the guy behind it “eduard” who isn’t real and doesnt exist was supposedly the canada guy.

      It’s possible lauren is based in canada, but the company was listed in kentucky? i think. The money was funneled in from various different shell corps.

        Lauren and her partner are Canadians (Persons 1&2 in the indictment). They set up a company in Tennessee to manage production and pay the ‘talent’.

          yeah, i didn’t and still don’t know much about them personally, but i still believe unless i’m just pulling this part out of my ass that the fake person was supposed to be based either, somewhere in europe or possibly canada?

          Regardless, they’re still worse than the two russians that were indicted lol.

            Yes. “Grigorian” was the fictitious investor they set up to act as the funding source.

            However, in the communication between Chen and her husband they were able to figure out whoever that they were based out of Russia. In one of the messages between the they are found looking up Moscow time to check why Grigorian hadn’t replied to a communication.

            It’s crazy.

      We’ve had a big problem with foreign agents in Canada. The federal government keeps downplaying it but several states appear to be acting with near impunity in Canada.
