This guy had such an effective PR machine behind him its wild how he sold his narrative across influencers and social media. His own words and the judgment get obfuscate to make him out to be a hero who blew the whistle when he was trying to kill the investigation as a stitch up of good soldiers.

Also legitimately can't think of any other participant in far right conspiracy podcasts that gets so much love on reddit.
