Nomaan Merchant, AP’s intelligence and national security reporter, wrote that the unnamed officials accused ZeroHedge of publishing articles “created by Moscow-controlled media that were then shared by outlets and people unaware of their nexus to Russian intelligence.”
This is much bigger than it even first seems. The CIA is trying to create a precedent for shutting down press for publishing articles the CIA claims (with solid proof available to the public, I'm sure) were created by Russian media. If the CIA and Democrats had that kind of power when Trump was President they'd literally shut down the President of the United States claiming he was a mouthpiece of Russian intelligence.
This is huge. It really seems like they're dead set on making violence the only way out.

Oh it's worse than that... They want to criminalize blogs for merely relaying RT articles essentially...
