    The point of this is hilarious:

    • Tim Pool was being duped originally by Russia
    • Tim Pool is lying and saying that Russia said negative things about Trump. Russia was on Trump’s side, lol

    Was he actually duped?

      Maybe, but now his livelihood depends on the idiots that watch him continuing to tune in. He’s gotta keep the grift going however he can, obfuscating the truth on something like this means he can eek out a few more roubles.

      Tim Pool isn’t very smart and not the least bit honest.

      I doubt he can tell apart when he’s being duped and when he’s duping others most of the time himself.

      The DOJ literally said he was paid. That’s not being duped, you don’t get duped to be paid to carry out an assignment and do it flawlessly.
