A Florida socialist political group defended its relationship with Russia after the FBI alleged Kremlin agents teamed up with the organization in a "brazen" attempt to undermine US elections.

Federal agents on Friday raided St. Petersburg's Uhuru House — the headquarters of the socialist pan-African political organization — in connection with the alleged election interference conspiracy, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

I find it ironic the eff bee aye are involved in arresting a “group that interferes with US elections” when they did the same with a certain Orange Man 2015.

If it’s FBI, it’s a lie somehow. This is exactly the kind of outfit the feds would use as a front.

Maybe the feds are burning this asset as a way of regaining some lost credibility.

They may be trying to repair their image after all their misbehavior in the past - a Sisyphean task if there ever was one.

I agree. I wouldn’t trust the eff bee eye if they said the sky was blue.

"FBI alleges"

At least they've been distracted from plotting fake FBI terror attacks for a little while.

... to spread pro-Russian propaganda, sow discord, and interfere in US elections, ...

Pretty vague accusations. No free speech for black socialists?

[DoughtyOne]

They’ll go after anyone but the Democrats.

[BenLurkin]

Zuckerbucks?

[escapefromboston]

Did they have illegal immigrants vote? or stuff ballot boxes?

[hardspunned]

More Trump socialists?

[logi_cal869]

Whoa. First I’ve read of this. Time to do some background...

This group is not new, nor is its affinity for Russia new.

“We can have relationships with whoever want to make this revolution possible,” Uhuru Movement leader Eritha Cainion said at a news conference, the Times reported. “We are in support of Russia.”

[El Cid]

I don't care if the FBI actually was investigating a real crime this time.
They need to be disbanded and dissolved. They've been a plague on the Nation and American people for quite some time, and their corruption and malfeasance has increased exponentially over the recent years.

[BipolarBob]

Why do they have to bring me into the conversation?

'brazen' attempt to interfere with US elections

That's Dominion Voting Systems job.

If they are based in Florida then Governor DeSantis must be involved. Time to investigate his ties to this group. /sarc

Most if not all Euro “environmental” activist orgs are also paid for by Russia. Including those people who splashed paint on the Spanish Cortes, and those gluing themselves to highways,blocking theTour de France, and gluing themselves to old masters paintings.

This was out in the open since 2014, when it was called out by the then Nato secretary general.

The subtext of the Spanish protest (to which I was an eye-witness) was about Spain expanding LNG terminal infrastructure.

....Gochez is an extreme left-wing L.A. teacher known for racist, anti-American rants. He also has decades-long ties to the African People’s Socialist Party—which is very open and passionate about its hatred of Jews, whites, Barack Obama, Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse Jackson, Koreans, basically everyone.... —— Eagnews
