Former President Donald Trump has joined with those who say this week’s Russia indictment by the Biden-Harris administration is a continuation of the Russian collusion delusion hoax.

In a Truth Social post published Thursday afternoon, Trump specifically went after Vice President Kamala Harris for engineering the indictment.

“Comrade Kamala Harris and her Department of Justice are trying to interfere in and suppress the Election in favor of the Democrats by resurrecting the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and trying to say that Russia is trying to help me, which is absolutely FALSE,” he wrote.

“In fact, President Putin would much rather see Comrade Kamala Harris in Office, as he strongly said just this morning,” he added.

The latter statement about Russian President Vladimir Putin was accurate:

Trump continued his post by rehashing his complaints about the 2020 presidential election.

“Why aren’t they looking into Iran, China, & other Countries and, more importantly, why aren’t they looking at Marc Elias, Mark Pomerantz, the relationship between Lisa Monaco to Andrew Weissmann, CREW, and all of the other Enemies of the People that had such an effect on the 2020 Election, and are trying to Rig and Steal the 2024 Presidential Election,” he wrote.

“So ironic watching Lisa Monaco, a figurehead for Weissmann and the group of Radical Left Lunatics who had so much to do with the original Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, and now she is at it again, leading A.G. Merrick Garland down an empty and Country destroying path,” he concluded.

Look at the post below:

Announced on Tuesday, the indictment accuses two RT employees, Konstantin Kalashnikov and Elena of Afanasyeva, of funneling $10 million to the Tennessee-based company Tenet Media.

“The Justice Department has charged two employees of RT, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, in a $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement.

Tenet Media is owned by Liam Donovan, the husband of conservative influencer Lauren Chen. Both have been accused of knowingly accepting the $10 million from the two Russian operatives.

Several other influencers  — Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, Lauren Southern, Tayler Hansen, and Matt Christiansen — produced content for Tenet Media but were unaware of the Russian connection.

“Founder-1 [Donovan], and Founder-2 [Chen] worked together to mask U.S. Company-1’s [Tenet Media] true source of funding — i.e., RT — by falsely portraying to [the other influencers] that U.S. Company-1 was sponsored by a private investor named ‘Eduard Grigoriann,’” the indictment reads. “In truth and in fact, Grigoriann was a fictional persona.”

“For example, during contract negotiations, Commentator-I requested that Founder-1 provide a profile or article on ‘Eduard Grigoriann.’ In response, Founder-1 sent Commentator-I a one-page profile, provided to Founder-I by another fictional persona purporting to represent ‘Eduard Grigoriann,’ falsely describing ‘Eduard Grigoriann’ as an ‘accomplished finance professional’ who had held various positions in Brussels and France at a multinational bank,” the indictment continues.

Thus far only Kalashnikov and Afanasyeva have been charged, though many suspect Donovan and Chen may face charges as well.

Like Trump, some critics have alleged that the indictment is just another rehash of the Russian collusion delusion hoax and conspiracy theory. They’ve based this theory on the fact that Pool, one of the influencers, sued Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign a day before the indictment was announced.

In separate but related news, a former campaign adviser for Trump’s 2016 campaign has been charged by the Biden-Harris DOJ over his work for a sanctioned Russian TV station.

“Dimitri Simes and his wife, Anastasia, are accused of illegally accepting more than $1 million in salary and other benefits from the state-owned Channel One Russia television station and trying to conceal the payments,” according to The Washington Post.

“The couple, charged with money laundering and violating U.S. sanctions imposed on the station in 2022, face up to 20 years in prison for each of three counts,” the Post reported.

Some believe this too is a rehash of the Russia hoax. Trump has for his part not commented yet on Simes and his wife.
