What's very funny about this story is how they all released statements about how they are the victims in this situation. Like it would be much better for their brands to be like Yes, I am a Russian asset. Because Russia is based, and not woke!
I wonder if you're like, unprincipled grifter, do you even check who pays you
I'm sure they would do that if it didn't come to light by a DoJ investigation.
Like if it was just a news report uncovering it it's just the liberal media making me look bad would be the response.
If it is a net-negative to them, then it is good. The veracity of the accusations is secondary when there is no shortage of real accusations you can make that have no weight in the US (though at least one in that group is wanted internationally).
Poor guys just thought they were being paid to do Russian propaganda for Americans
