The only demonstrable evidence of Russian interference in U.S. politics came quietly out of the U.S. Department of Justice today, with the unsealing of an indictment charging a Russian national with “orchestrating a years-long foreign malign influence campaign that used various U.S. political groups to sow discord, spread pro-Russian propaganda, and interfere in elections within the United States.”
The New York Times report on the subject buries the names of the groups allegedly utilized by the Russian government in the scheme, namely the “Uhuru Movement” of St. Petersburg, Florida, which is part of a wider entity known as the African People’s Socialist Party.
Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) alleges that from “at least December 2014 until March 2022, Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov, a resident of Moscow, together with at least three Russian officials, engaged in a years-long foreign malign influence campaign targeting the United States. Ionov is the founder and president of the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia (AGMR), an organization headquartered in Moscow and funded by the Russian government. Ionov utilized AGMR to carry out Russia’s influence campaign.”
“Ionov allegedly orchestrated a brazen influence campaign, turning U.S. political groups and U.S. citizens into instruments of the Russian government,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “The Department of Justice will not allow Russia to unlawfully sow division and spread misinformation inside the United States.”
Ionov is alleged to have used his control over a handful of groups such as the Uhuru movement, in order “to spread pro-Russian propaganda under the guise of a domestic political organization, and to interfere in local elections,” the DOJ says.

OMG! My virgin eyes and ears are SHOCKED! SHOCKED I tell ya!
“Black Marxist Groups” Like BLM?
I’m shocked the DOJ is bothering to investigate.
They’re seriously behind the 8-ball, then, not funding these groups. Get the requisitions going, boys.
Isn't this the place where the guy just torched their flag with a flame thrower?
Deep state is mad that the Russians are doing their job for them.
I’m shocked the DOJ is bothering to investigate.”
I take it as good sign. The little rats in the FBI may think they will lose the House so they have start giving the appearance of objectivity.
Finally admitting BLM helped Russia invade Ukraine by riots in 2020 to destabilize the US and give covor for a stolen election?
That was a mouth full, but is that the tqke?
The Russians funded an information operation suggesting that the CIA created AIDS as a genocidal measure against blacks:

All those suckers supporting BLM were really just supporting Russian interference in US politics. Delicious.
Well, of course they’ve been doing that. They did it during the days of the USSR and they’re doing it still.
Russia hasn’t discarded marxism, they’ve just put lipstick on it to fool the rubes in the West.
Why anyone, at this point of time, with the context of what we now know about the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA, etc, would believe a word of what they say is beyond me.
This DOJ will never admit that.
You mean, it wasn’t white supremacists, or white nationalist, or Trump or something?
I’m shocked!!!
Took them 8 years to discover the rot?
How long did it take the FBI to send 75 agents to NASCAR to investigate garage door pulls?
Remember in 2016 and 2020, online donations for BLM took you the ActBlue website to handle the donations. ActBlue is headquartered in communist Massachusetts and is managed by anti-American communists.
