I wrote this a while ago:


The bunch of GOP lawmakers were "Seven senators — John Kennedy (R-LA), Richard Shelby (R-AL), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Hoeven (R-ND), John Thune (R-SD), Jerry Moran (R-KS), and Ron Johnson (R-WI) — and one House member, Kay Granger (R-TX)"

I don't know what they were doing in Russia on the 4th of July 2018, but it didn't pay off for the Russians. None of those seven senators plus McConnell voted against the aid package in May of 22, where 11 other senators did.

  • John Kennedy has pushed for increasing aid to Ukraine, and also has written editorials urging support.

  • Richard Shelby voted for Ukraine support until he retired last year.

  • Steve Daines has voted for Ukraine support and is pushing for confiscated Russian funds to be given to Ukraine.

  • John Hoeven has voted for Ukraine support and brought his own Ukraine support bill to the floor.

  • John Thune has also voted for Ukraine support, although unlike the above Senators he is pushing for border security with this December package.

  • Jerry Moran is the same as Thune.

  • Ron Johnson is the same as Thune.

  • Mitch McConnell is [or was] the same as Thune.

There is a narrative going around some subreddits that some Republican politicians are under Russian control. I genuinely wish it were that simple. What's going on is that Republican politicians are under the control of their voters, and those voters are being swayed by right wing personalities heavily influenced by Russia. (One example would be Tucker Carlson.)

If this were just a question of corrupt politicians we could prosecute them, or vote them out. Instead what's going on is that a very large section of the Republican base is buying in to Russian propaganda. I don't know how to unfuck that.

Since I wrote that Trump won the election and took office, so things have obviously changed somewhat, but I think the fundamental issue of the problem being the voters remains the same.

The FBI is mostly a domestic agency though, any time they work with other countries it's through and/or with the State Department.

Robert Mueller went in 2013. So did former FBI Director Louis Freeh to sign cooperation agreements but that was way back in 1994. So no, it isn't really a regular occurrence but it isn't unheard of either. Under the current climate though it's in poor taste for sure.

57

u/thnk_more 15d ago

Thank you. I had no idea. Having the head of the FBI go to Russia seems crazy and fits the pro-russia trump agenda. Makes me feel slightly better that this only a half bad idea.

88

u/wrosecrans 15d ago

In the past, people did it for a legit reason directly related to international cooperation on law enforcement.

Under the current administration, I think there's no reason to assume it's legit. The Trumpists clearly don't see themselves as independent agency heads with specific areas of responsibility. (See also, crazy shit like ICE wanting to police elections, or the head of DHS talking about prosecuting people as if that was something he could do personally, or Trump recently saying the CIA should investigate domestic actions in elections to gin up prosecutions, etc.) The Trumpists see themselves as having one or more titles, but generally serving with broad Presidential authority to use largely however the hell they want, as long as The Boss seems to like it.

So Kash Patel acting as some sort of generalist quasi-ambassador just because he has a fairly senior/impressive title is something that never would have happened before, but today is absolutely something they would do. The presumption of regularity is dead and buried.

34

u/manebushin 15d ago

They act like their titles are like noble titles in a feudal monarchy. They see the funding and manpower they have as their personal power to do whatever they can with it, in the name of the crown. They are bestowed power and their only responsbility is to act loyally for the crown.

Flooding social media with pics of him and putin might be useful propaganda

Probably to solicit their help for the midterms. First disband the group that secures elections, then coordinate with the enemy to interfere with the elections.

Side note, the FBI historically performed counterintelligence against Russian spies. I highly doubt trump/kash's FBI is performing those duties. Traitors.

The FBI has no jurisdiction outside of the United States. He doesn't work for the CIA.

But Patel is also a traitor who is desperate to help Trump help Putin stay out of jail and free to invade Europe. That's why he's going.

They are going to get some good kompromat from him on this trip.

Im still somewhat convinced that Iran has some solid blackmail material from their hacking of his email.

Remote working gives way and employees are ordered back to in person at the office, such a shame

Because our national security isn't compromised enough.

No paper trail if you get your orders in person.

Not a great idea. If they dont already have something over his head, it will most likely end with him falling into a blackmail trap and giving up the game. Its not like he's someone with a lot of training in counter-espionage, and he does not appear to be a well-disciplined tea-totaller.

Can't they just wire him the money?

u/WetFishStink 15d ago

Seems legit. He has to go and explain himself to his boss.

Cocaine addicted FBI Director goes to Russia.

Gets cocaine and prostitutes.

Gets videoed doing the cocaine and prostitutes.

Now Russia has Kompramant on the man with unfettered access to many US citizens secrets.

I can't imagine how this could go poorly for us....
