4 ‘African Socialists’ charged with election meddling for Russia after FIB raided their homes
Four American socialists have been charged with election meddling and spreading Putin’s propaganda after they were arrested in dramatic FBI raids.
The four, are members of the African People’s Socialist Party.
Omali Yeshitela, the group’s chairman was one of the 4 Americans indicted Tuesday for “sowing discord, spreading pro-Russia propaganda and interfering in elections within the United States.”
The DOJ says that the 81-year-old veteran leader of the far-left group conspired along with three others to help Russian efforts to meddle in elections.
Yeshitela has called the charges an “asinine” attack on his organization.
“Russia’s foreign intelligence service allegedly weaponized our First Amendment rights to divide Americans and interfere in elections in the United States,” said Assistant AG Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department.
“The department will not hesitate to expose and prosecute those who sow discord and corrupt US elections in service of hostile foreign interests, regardless of whether the culprits are US citizens or foreign individuals abroad,” Olsen said.
Penny Joanne Hess, Jesse Nevel and Augustus Romain Jr. were the others named in the indictment.
Yeshitela has previously denied being a Russian agent.
“It seems to be a lot of BS from what I can see,” a source familiar with the defense told The Post.
“There doesn’t seem to be any actual evidence that they did the actual bidding of Russia.”

Why not charge Comey, the Fey Wray, Meritless Garland and Bagpipe Barr with actual meddling?
What about Blinken and his gang of 50 intelligence associates?
Yep, was thinking the same thing. I wondermif courts will throw out the evidence claiming “no standing” and refuse to hear cases based on that like they did to the folks that tried to,bring cases to court about us election. The one case that was heard in court, our side won apparently though. Makes one wonder how many more would have been won had they heard the cases?
That is different. They are licensed to be lawless and meddle in elections. It was for a good cause because Orange Man bad and all that... for them.
BTW is the Fibbers going to arrest themselves. They did withhold the Hunter laptop evidence over the election. They also censored people on Twitter. They used a fake dossier to get a FISA warrant.
The one case you’re talking about was in Arizona. The judge allowed a sample of 2000 ballots to be checked to see if they would pass a signature match check as is required by Arizona law.
The Democrats’ own handwriting expert said 11% of them would fail a signature match check. (this was in a race decided by less than 1%). The judge then did not allow any more ballots to be checked and promptly threw out the case.
Thanks I was going by what Newsmax stated the other day- the fella made it sound like a case there in Arizona was won.
Exactly. What the African commies did was small potatoes compared to the deep Hunter laptop operation.
This stunt was clearly intended to let the feds justify the Jan 6 defendant arrests and Mar-a-Lago raid as fair and balanced.

Social media for pigs?
“Sowing discord...” Is that a legal term? Is it Illegal?
What actual “Law” have they broken?
Chapter and verse verbatim, please.
Facts on this case are hard to come by.
However, at least three of those 50 guys have released statements that they were never told that their personal opinions about the Russian Dossier would be publicly released during the Presidential campaign.
True? False? It will not matter if the trials are held in Washington D.C.
Once again, it’s called STAYING ON OFFENSE, something that the Left has perfected.
I doubt he gives a crap about anything more than that.
“...weaponized our First Amendment rights...”
Not much room for them to do that as our politicians have got that one covered. They’ve been doing that for over 100 years. The African Socialists have got a lot of catching up to do.

It isn’t tyranny. They failed to register as foreign agents.
Wonder what these socialists’ Freeper screen names are?
How were they foreign agents. There is no evidence that they took direction from Moscow nor that they took money from Moscow.
