It's so insanely maddening to know that this #Russian clown #DimitriSimes was already exposed years ago yet only now is getting charged.

#SethAbramson wrote in detail a trilogy of books from 2018-20 about Simes's dealings with Trump, yet nothing. The #DoJ is a comprehensive joke.

U.S. charges former Trump adviser over work for sanctioned Russian TV

The U.S. government has charged a Russian-born U.S. citizen and former adviser to Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign with working for a sanctioned Russian state television network and laundering the proceeds. Indictments announced Thursday by the Department of Justice allege that Dimitri Simes and his wife received over $1 million dollars and a personal car and driver in exchange for work they did for Russia’s Channel One since June 2022. The state television network was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2022 over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Simes is a U.S. citizen who owns a house in Virginia. Authorities say they believe the couple is in Russia. If convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison.

Why is an American (former Soviet) on Moscow TV kissing Putin butt (saying he should be compared to Churchill)? #DimitriSimes was the guy who crafted #Trump's first foreign policy speech and is close with #Kissinger. Why are there so many strange pro-Putin elements in the US?
