The indictment of Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov reflects what U.S. officials say are ongoing Russian government efforts to meddle in the American political process, to shape public opinion and to sow discord and dissent on hot-button social issues.

Had a Russian speaking Ukrainian Grandmother from near Dneiperpetrovsk. In WW2 she ended up making it to the US lines and met my grandfather and came back to the States. I’ve been to her village a few times and know what’s going on in Eastern Ukraine. Speaking the truth is a Revolutionary Act now days. If King Sobieski wouldn’t approve, so what. I serve a greater King who is coming back soon to judge the quick and the dead
Interesting. Russians were backing the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline, too.

It’s called freedom of speech. Something increasingly limited in this country. And that includes speech you may not like. Limiting speech is limiting thought; something at one time only leftists were trying to do, such as in our Ministry of Truth, aka the Disinformation Governance Board (DGB) of Homeland Security. (It all sounds so very Orwellian).

BidenBots are very happy to read about the government cracking down on people who disagree with them.
I wonder what “hot button issues” Americans are being fooled into believing because of evil Russian propaganda?? A man in a dress ISN’T really a woman? That the economy ISN’T doing great? That we SHOULDN’T be pissing away billions of dollars for a corrupt backwards hell hole like Ukraine?

Quite a number of hijacked accounts. No other way to describe those spouting Putin’s propaganda.
No it is not as it is stated in the constitution
His charge will be that he is taking away the work from the Democrats...
Interesting...goes back to Eric Holder and Xavier “missing house server” Beccera’s effort to squeeze more electoral votes out of California for the Dems. That involved the group Yes California, one of those secessionist groups backing Calexit, that was headed by an oddball named Louis Marinelli.
Marinelli is connected to Ionov as is the Uhuru House.
Not sure what groups in Atlanta Ionov was involved with.
