The FBI Uses FISA to Spy on Political Opponents
Have you noticed a penchant of influencers to accuse other media personalities and podcasters of being “Russian agents”? On April 24, 2023, neocon icon Bill Kristol said of Tucker Carlson, “Carlson is a major asset for Putin. Will Putin abandon him now?” On June 2, 2026, Laura Loomer (who previously accused numerous rivals of being Russian agents, including Candace Owens) wrote, “The left wasn’t entirely wrong when they called some people Russian puppets… Now I’m just wondering how long some of these people I’ve known for years have been activated as foreign agents and who their handlers are.” Max Boot, David Frum, Anne Applebaum, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, James Lindsay and others have all abruptly adopted the tactic of accusing others in the conservative sphere of being “Russian agents.”Â
