1. Not surprising.

2. Deport them.

3. and so it begins… and the maggots are already trying to play victim…

4. They totally agreed with the pro-Russian talking points being directed to them but had no clue their funding was coming from RT? Yeah, given the context of who they are and how many brain cells they operate this all makes sense.

5. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. They have been boot-licking Russia since the invasion began.

6. Tim Pool is a joke. Thinks he’s so bloody clever yet can’t tell his arse from his elbow on geopolitics.

7. Lock Pool up and throw away the beanie

8. If in any doubt it must be Russia behind it

9. Throw the book at them.

10. A public shaming for these traitors are is in order!

11. Tim Pool, a fucking traitor? Shocking.

12. Pretty sure putin has 2-3 agents follows tim pool ready to remove the beanie when he steps out of line.

    I hate Tim Pool so much

13. Let’s hope that this has some impact on the Americans supporting the Russian point of view.

14. When conspiracies are reality. Trump’s MAGA is obviously on the dole too.

15. I hope Tim Pool gets arrested just to see his mugshot without that stupid beanie.

16. Wow, I’m shocked! /s

17. Ignorance of the whole “*financing* behind the scenes” thing doesn’t terribly bother me– huge corporations have so many subsidiaries and DBAs and underwriters and shell companies that it’s legitimately difficult to follow the cash and influence sometimes.

    But regardless of *where* influence is coming from, it’s up to them to respond to it appropriately. I remember a decade ago during the Crimea invasion a couple of RT America anchors resigned in protest. They knew what they were “supposed” to say based on employment by Russian interests, but they chose to do the right thing in that situation.

    These guys didn’t. They either legitimately believe in the Russian position due to stupidity, brainwashing, or evil… or they don’t believe it and spout it anyway fully knowing it’ll influence their audience.

    Neither of those are good looks, and I hope this fiasco serves to dissuade people who would listen to these jackasses in the future.

18. 1№1=1

19. Fuck Tim Pool and his non-educated beanie-indoors-wearing ass. Lock ’em all up for being the pro-fascist Russian agent traitors they are.

20. So from the indictment turns out one of the founders worked to hide that their funding was from ruzzia. Lol, useful idiots indeed.
