(Gateway Pundit) Just weeks after Trump supporter Douglas Mackey was convicted of “election inference” for posting memes on Twitter, the DOJ has now charged four black national leftists for spreading Russian “propaganda” in memes, articles and speeches.
The DOJ has charged four US citizens who have been linked to far-left black nationalist groups and three Russian nationals for “sowing discord, spreading pro-Russia propaganda and interfering in elections within the United States.”
In the indictment, Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen stated “Russia’s foreign intelligence service allegedly weaponized our First Amendment rights.”
The indictment went quietly under the radar but caught the attention of long time journalist Glenn Greenwald.
This is an absolutely remarkable – and chilling – indictment. Several American black leftist groups and activists are being charged with felonies for posting memes and other political content against the war in Ukraine, protesting racial injustice: allegedly on behalf of Russia: https://t.co/SQ1K1VZG1v

Greenwald took to Twitter and questioned why Democrats and liberals are silent about the DOJ’s clear attack on the First Amendment.
I was just on Tucker Carlson’s program discussing my reporting on this, and he vehemently condemned DOJ’s prosecution of these 4 black American radical leftists.
Earlier today I was on Glenn Beck’s show where he urged his listeners to denounce it.
Why aren’t Dems and liberals? https://t.co/CGkYiywDiA

Tucker Carlson later invited Greenwald on his show and Greenwald shared the Biden admin’s goal is to ‘launch a domestic war on terror, and to take take all the tactics we used against Al Qaeda and direct new attacks on anti-establishment dissidents.’
Tucker himself was baffled about the DOJ’s blatant attack on the 1st Amendment and stated being “pro-Russia” or “saying things the government doesn’t like is not a crime.”
Here’s an excerpt of the DOJ’s indictment:
