Wife of Never Trump's Max Boot, CNN Analyst and Washington Post Columnist, Indicted as Foreign Agent
[BREITBART] Sue Mi Terry, a former CIA analyst and the wife of Never Trump pundit Max Boot, was indicted Tuesday for acting as an agent for the South Korean government without registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

reported:

In Ms. Terry’s case, prosecutors say she began operating as a foreign agent in 2013, five years after leaving the C.I.A. She was first contacted by an intelligence officer posing as a diplomat for the Korean mission to the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
in New York City, the indictment said, and in return for her work over the next decade, Ms. Terry received handbags, clothing and at least $37,000 in covert payments to the think tank where she was employed at the time.

"Despite engaging in extensive activities for and at the direction of" the South Korean government, Ms. Terry did not register as a foreign agent with American officials, as required by law, prosecutors said. She faces two counts, one for failing to register under the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act, and the other for conspiring to violate it.

Boot was once a staunch advocate for the Iraq War and an interventionist foreign policy. In the Trump era, however, he became a leading voice of the Never Trump movement, urging his readers and viewer to vote for Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
. In that anti-Trump role, he was in high demand as an analyst for CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
and a columnist for the Washington Post.

In 2020, Boot was among those anti-Trump pundits and voices close to the "Deep State" who insisted that the New York Post stories about Hunter Biden’s laptop were fake, and possibly the product of "Russian disinformation."

Boot’s critics immediately began posting some of his past commentaries on the topic of U.S.-South Korean relations, asking whether he was being paid, or influenced, to produce content on behalf of foreign governments.

Why is the Biden controlled DOJ/FBI acting like it's doing its job now? Especially against a very vocal Anti-Trump CNN/WP MSM talking head?

Is it because such $$$$$ incentives only for the DC Swampers?
