Republicans’ Key ‘Whistleblower’ Indicted For ‘Working to Advance the Interests Of China’
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/1331256
As alleged, Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and co-head of a Maryland think tank, engaged in multiple, serious criminal schemes. He subverted foreign agent registration laws in the United States to seek to promote Chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking U.S. Government official; he acted as a broker in deals for dangerous weapons and Iranian oil; and he told multiple lies about his crimes to law enforcement. As the charges unsealed today reflect, our Office will continue to work vigorously with our law enforcement partners to detect and hold accountable those who surreptitiously attempt to perpetrate malign foreign influence campaigns here in the United States.
Cue the conspiracy theories in 3...2...1...
If you think these things are exclusive to republicans, you might be a victim of echo chambers
Not exclusive. Just more common.
In the last 50 years there’s been hundreds of indictments of sitting confessional republicans and republican WH administration officials. There’s been like 20 for dems.
Ya, republicans do illegal dirtbag shit. And they’re not even good at it.
How many Democrats have been indicted and convicted of crimes related to their political office in recent years? Of course there is corruption in both parties but the Republicans aren't even on the same planet in that respect. If you think bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe, you might be a victim of echo chambers.
I would browse r/republican to get perspective on news that came out from a right wing perspective to keep my mind open to both sides.
I didn't just rely on left-leaning news or social media to form my views; I witnessed things such as projection myself over and over in the right-wong community, and from right-wing leaders.
