    Now just for a minute substitute Trump for Biden in this story and imagine the hair on fire reaction from the MSM.

    I expect all our leftist friends to roundly condemn Biden - any minute now....

      DC is crawling with foreign agents, politicians take millions per year from dozens of countries. This isn't a secret, it's the norm.
      Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

        Biden is all kinds of bad. Vote Sanders.

              Biden really needs this kind of ringing endorsement. Call his campaign headquarters at once!
              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                Politico is saying Rasky filed the papers for Biden's new SuperPAC, but it isn't being run by Rasky.

                They do mention Rasky, though.

                Now just for a minute imagine substituting balanced coverage for this right wing agitprop:
                Biden's new PAC is being run by a registered foreign agent for Azerbaijan.

                The Federalist is a scavenger feed, plucking stories off google alerts and pruning them to appeal to, well, folks like you. The entire story was ripped off of Politico, with a quick pass by the FARA filings, because what else are you going to do with all that extra time you save letting real reporters do the work for you. There are multiple links, including this one:

                Ex-Biden aide forms Unite the Country super PAC
                Larry Rasky, who worked on Biden's two previous presidential campaigns, is listed as the super PAC's treasurer.

                Having seen way too much of this before, I'm not surprised to find they only brought over the top half of that paragraph, and said that was good enough, leaving out a list of other foreign clients likely figuring that wouldn't add to the hair-burning.

                Now about this ...

                The evidence says otherwise, even before you look at Rasky Partners' client list, it's obvious from the Politico link in the Federalist story that Rasky Partners serves a lot of clients, and after looking at the list, it's clear nearly all of them are US-based.


                Biden is in serious trouble, though, and the SuperPAC is emblematic. It was formed, as has been reported elsewhere, out of necessity, after loud and proud proclamations that they wouldn't, sending a spokesman out to extinguish Rasky's earlier attempt to form a PAC. That's why the name needed changing. The donations aren't coming in, the enthusiasm isn't there, and his lead is whittling away.


                The next time you go bashing on the MSM, try not to cite a source openly sucking off of them to make your point.

                It's not a good look.
