As alleged, Gal Luft, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and co-head of a Maryland think tank, engaged in multiple, serious criminal schemes. He subverted foreign agent registration laws in the United States to seek to promote Chinese policies by acting through a former high-ranking U.S. Government official; he acted as a broker in deals for dangerous weapons and Iranian oil; and he told multiple lies about his crimes to law enforcement. As the charges unsealed today reflect, our Office will continue to work vigorously with our law enforcement partners to detect and hold accountable those who surreptitiously attempt to perpetrate malign foreign influence campaigns here in the United States.

Cue the conspiracy theories in 3…2…1…

    Not exclusive. Just more common.

    In the last 50 years there’s been hundreds of indictments of sitting confessional republicans and republican WH administration officials. There’s been like 20 for dems.

    Ya, republicans do illegal dirtbag shit. And they’re not even good at it.
