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.

It’s far too generous to pretend Tim Pool didn’t know he was being paid by Russia.

he said that it was china, not russia
