Friends, this story strongly suggests the interim US Attorney in DC was very recently on the payroll of Russian intelligence.

Reposted from The Washington Post

Exclusive: Ed Martin, now the interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, did not disclose his RT and Sputnik appearances from 2016 to 2024 to the Senate. The State Department has said the networks act like arms of Russian intelligence.

i’m surprised wapo ran the story

thcarter123.bsky.social•67 days ago

Would not be a surprise. The far right extremist US Catholics have been in bed w the anti abortion, anti glbtq Russians for years. Heritage and Fed Soc donated $5 million (Leonard Leo) to their Europe efforts, according to a European Parliament report in 2021.

Thanks!

cherylbrown30.bsky.social•67 days ago

Does that mean Ed Martin US Attorney was on the “600 Americans paid off by the Kremlin list, to spread Russian Propaganda?” The FBI only named & charged two before the election.

ojtphd.bsky.social•66 days ago

Why not? We heard jobs at the Kremlin are VERY lucrative!

Case in point:

Is the use of past tense accurate? Who’s to say he isn’t still?

nixbl74.bsky.social•67 days ago

so just another day in the US

thelordgod.bsky.social•67 days ago

Well, the US President and the DNI are so it only makes sense.

firstfleet.bsky.social•67 days ago

One of many GOP on the payroll. Remember Trump's first term. Who were the first visitors to the WH? Who went to Russia on the 4th July (Russia really rubbing their noses in it) etc and then many more in the current term. For example, no tariffs on Russia, never any criticism, floating G7 membership

jimmy-jim-james.bsky.social•67 days ago

sort of like Jalen Hurts is a Philadelphia Eagle 🦅

sgtfella.bsky.social•67 days ago

Not that the Senate cares however a Dem Senator should use this to impeach him.

investtoelect.bsky.social•67 days ago

Or still on its payroll?

Can you believe Trump's pick for DC U.S. Attorney actually said,"Hitler should have finished the job!" That's right, DonOld only hires the best! That's his convoluted idea of DEI!

The evidence that this entire administration is composed of compromised Russian assets is overwhelming. The NPR story about DOGE at NLRB was a real doozy. Everyone is compromised. Everyone. 5 alarm treason fire if I’ve ever seen one.

mistergrueso.bsky.social•67 days ago

…the guy being threatened with overhead pictures of him walking his dog, most likely taken with a drone. These people are evil.

Awfully charitable for you to be assuming/implying that he's not still on the payroll.

falalala50.bsky.social•67 days ago

Anyone who doesn’t believe the ultimate goal is to destroy us and enable Putin/Russia to hold sway needs to go back to school…this is a vanity project for Putin…he assembling the “glorious Soviet Union” now under the banner of Russia. The Baltics, Poland, Hungary and even Finland are in danger.

cupcake1312.bsky.social•66 days ago

Hungary 🇭🇺 is already lost…

falalala50.bsky.social•66 days ago

Hungary maybe an authoritarian country, but still a NATO member and not quite yet gathered to the bosom of Russia and Putin…

cupcake1312.bsky.social•66 days ago

… and a member of EU…🥴
Where Hungary is often the stick in the wheel…

… and yes, Hungary is indeed in the bosom of Russia just like Belarus.

The position of the government of Hungary is, however, not shared by the vast majority of Hungarians…

forrizzle.bsky.social•67 days ago

And then you have Doge sending sensitive govt data to Russia via it's Starlink satellites...

Friends, I'm afraid to say it but we may be in a 'break glass if in trouble' scenario!

imhiding.bsky.social•67 days ago

Have been since January 20th, 2025!

jgt1960.bsky.social•67 days ago

The media stylebook needs to be updated so it stops using "conservative" as a Republican descriptor. "Conservative" implies a rational political stance as the counterpoint to "liberal." While they may be too squeamish to use "fascist," "illiberal," or "autocratic" would be more accurate.

cupcake1312.bsky.social•66 days ago

🎯

ethanclauset.bsky.social•67 days ago

I don't know how anyone could look at the history of conservatism and say it implies a rational political stance

jgt1960.bsky.social•67 days ago

The word itself connotes a position on a shared spectrum of reality, yet we left a shared reality politically some time ago. I have profound differences with just about all aspects of conservative ideology, but there was a time when those differences could be rationally debated.

hugh258.bsky.social•67 days ago

Dude: the US government is now being run out of the Kremlin.
If you can't parse that, I suggest you learn Russian.
It's already here.

bd-sint.bsky.social•66 days ago

Allowing a presidential candidate to solicit and receive help in an election from an enemy country, and his campaign to share election data with that country's intelligence services, has consequences.

winwan.bsky.social•66 days ago

You would think!

rosygirl75.bsky.social•66 days ago

IMO when this is over & the FULL HORROR of what Repugs have done to this country is realized they will hit MSM talk shows “we didn’t know” “we weren’t aware” “we didn’t really think”. Repugs are decimating our democracy but as always will moan & plead ignorance. They sold constituents out. For what?

hinebd.bsky.social•67 days ago

Not to mention his full blown support for a neo nazi who is a Jan 6er

Why would any country ever share intelligence with the USA again

bobdunkin.bsky.social•67 days ago

Sting operation to see/trace who leaks it? I mean, don't give them ACTUAL intelligence...but something 'close' but not entirely true...

This guy will face criminal proceedings in 2029 when we take back our Democracy.

cupcake1312.bsky.social•66 days ago

Are you being sarcastic? Honest question..🙋‍♀️

Free and fair elections are a thing of the past if people in vast numbers don’t start protesting …

Have you seen this? Well worth 12 minutes of your time 🙏🏼

ahsierra.bsky.social•66 days ago

Yes, the protests are off and running, and growing. Long way to go, but have you not noticed the positive trend? Rachel spends 20 minutes on this every night.

cupcake1312.bsky.social•66 days ago

Women…

cupcake1312.bsky.social•66 days ago

I have noticed that “older” white wiman have started to protest… Rachel’s followers?
Unfortunately Rachel will soon be gone, but let’s hope she’ll start a podcast…

Damn...maybe Rachel will reconsider.. .NO ONE can replace her intellect and communication skill
