Podcaster Tim Pool is part of a new generation of young conservative media personalities effectively radicalizing their cohorts.�
On Tuesday, just two weeks before the election, he strongly hinted ...
It’s not treason, they haven’t interfered with the government or leaked secrets, that I’m aware of. They spread misinformation, but beyond that nothing illegal
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.
He is taking money from Russia, who is an enemy of United States, and has the intent to undermine the current government and this year’s election. He didn’t report it and benefited financially from it. Sounds like it fits the code well to me.
Taking large amounts of money from foreign nationals to spread misinformation is beyond just being unethical. Getting paid $2,500 an hour is obviously fraudulent.
There are definitely laws that could be twisted to charge them but we really should codify this so there is no question about its legality.

According to U.S. code:
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

Does spreading misinformation count as treason? Otherwise having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, doesn’t apply.
The States convicted an innocent woman of treason for similar, if far less.
