    Lol, this guy Alexander Smirnov is going to get on a fucking boat and sail away, he’s a flight risk and he’ll end up back in Israel.

    He’s an ex-FBI informant that has been accused of ties to Russian spies, and has been successfully spreading these stories across conservative media in America, sowing more chaos and creating division while smarmy fucks like Sean Hannity thrive on repeating the lies.

    Putin will give this guy a reward like he did to Maria Butina after she compromised the NRA and the Republicans.

    The justice department says that he disclosed his intelligence contacts to his FBI handler, saying he could use those connections - which prosecutors described as " extensive and extremely recent" - to leave the US.

    Gym Jordan will ultimately end up with a slap on the wrist after it’s determined that this was Russian propaganda.

      Funny how all of these people are allowed to go back to Russia or Israel while Assange (yes, I know he’s a piece of shit, but that’s beside the point) wasn’t allowed to go to Ecuador.
