GOP's so-called whistleblower accused of being a pawn of a foreign government by the DOJ
Israeli Gal Luft claimed to have evidence against President Joe Biden and his son in a bribery scheme with China that Republicans have jumped on. But as it turns out, the Justice Department indicted him for being an unregistered foreign agent, trafficking in arms, violating U.S. sanctions against Iran, and making false statements to federal agents.
Luft disappeared for a time online, leading to conspiracy theories. When Luft resurfaced, it was to deny accusations against him and claim that the federal government was after him.
In a video published by the conservative New York Post, Luft issues new accusations saying that Biden got money from Chinese military intelligence and sounded the alarm about a conspiracy with the federal government trying to bring him down.
“I, who volunteered to inform the US government about a potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president, am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed — and may have to live on the run for the rest of my life…” Luft claims in a video.
“I’m not a Republican. I’m not a Democrat. I have no political motive or agenda … I did it out of deep concern that if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal — only this time with China. Sadly, because of the DOJ’s cover-up, this is exactly what happened.”
But as it turns out, Luft may have had a motive if the allegations by the DOJ prove to be true.
"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," announced U.S. Attorney Damian Williams. "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.”
FBI Acting Assistant Director in Charge Christie M. Curtis said: “As alleged, the defendant engaged in multiple schemes to evade sanctions and laws intended to protect our national security. The FBI is determined to defend our nation by enforcing laws designed to promote transparency of foreign influence within the United States.”
The press release goes on to detail each specific action on which law enforcement was able to gather evidence for the charges.
Luft is now begging for donations to "free" him.
