These men are definitely Russia’s useful idiots and I struggle to think they were truly innocent, given that they were the ones who asked for the huge sums of money per video rather than merely accepting huge amounts of proffered cash and failing to ask questions.
All I can say is just imagine what Fox and MAGA would be doing if some left leaning influences had been found to be accepting money from China and had been prominent supporters of reducing aid and assistance for Taiwan. Can’t see them calling such (non-existent) money grubbers ‘sincere in their beliefs’ and ‘victims,” Come to think of it what if Hunter Biden had done this????
Marco Rubio is not in politics to benefit Americans; he is in politics to benefit Marco Rubio. He is a hollow man who goes whichever way the wind blows. Rubio can be charming, but he’s not real bright. It was disappointing to see him reelected when he ran against Val Demings, who would have made an excellent member of the Senate, & would have improved the lives of Floridians.
I'm inclined to agree with you Jean but it occurs to me that a very large number of elected representatives on both sides of the aisle would fail the character test you seem to suggest in the first paragraph. That said I think one of the candidates for President would pass that test and it's CERTAINLY not Donald Trump.
Republicans always tell us what they’re doing. This is precisely why they went after Hunter for being an unregistered agent, making up such wild fictions.
I hope there are forfeiture laws that apply here.
These media personalities must have known what they were doing. They were constantly being told they were parroting Russian propaganda.
I think Pool and the others are morons, but there's just no way that they didn't have some inclination that the money was coming from at least shady or illegal sources. $100k for one poorly-produced video of a deranged man in a beanie yelling about "woke" and other right-wing nonsense coupled with some good ol' Russian propaganda? There's just no way that is legitimate.

It would be wall-to-wall coverage on Fox News and other right-wing outlets until the heat death of the sun.
Yep, wall to wall coverage and I'll extend a bit of poetic lisence re the death of the sun!

Yep it absolutely stinks. Poor little victims my (expletive deleted).
Such good reporting 💪
Yeah, I happily pay good money for this sort of stuff. I couldn't get this level of reporting in the legacy media.
Criming while stupid - Trump and company's unofficial mantra. Or in Trump's case, criming while insane.
