I continue to struggle to understand how America fell apart without a shot being fired. Putin, Xi, Kim et al must on the one hand be happy to see America taken down but on the other worry that their kingdoms could fall to the same illness that America has contracted. Bizzaro world.

There was no need to worry about the Wolverines this time, Russia figured out all they had to do was co-opt them by throwing gobs of money at them.

As for Tim Pool, under a cloud for sure, possible Asset Forfeiture at some point, FARA violations if he knew where the money was coming from, as well as a potential indictment of Chen, and others down the road would enhance a person to step back and fade from view.

Of course you could look at it another way, he may have been told/ordered to drop out as he may in fact have struck a deal to be a witness against others. First to plea, first to flee. A case like that won't just be a one and done I'm out deal. Prosecutors will want or be encouraged to make examples.

The other issue is the promised by DOJ, but so far never delivered SDA list of the 600 known influencers in the USA and the roughly 1900 others around the globe. Interesting how it was promised within a week of the Pool Revelations, but quickly disappeared from view after.

The list would have gone a very long way towards allowing voters to see just how many were under the influence of RT and their sub organizations. Not having that list leaves a lot of people who can still produce malign Russian influence

It's possible that DOJ sent them all a message by saying they were identified and then see how many would shut down, go to ground or attempt to leave or flee the country. Maybe the mere telling that the DOJ knows who they are and saw what they did will be enough.

The Black Insurrectionist account used to spread the fake information was Ali Akbar Alexander, from J6 Stop The Steal. Once outed he closed his account and deleted it.

Thank you for pointing out these. As stated numerous times, the Great Game (love the Flashman series) just made easier with the internet and the smart phone. plausible deniability and anonyminity (help spell check!) where stupidity can reach around the world three times before the rationality can scratch its ball getting out of bed.
