Why is Moscow-funded RT supporting Ron Paul?

WHY IS MOSCOW-FUNDED RUSSIAN TELEVISION SUPPORTING RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT? AND IS RUSSIA TODAY TELEVISION VIOLATING U.S. LAW IN DOING SO?

SEE IT HERE: Adam Kokesh, admitted Russian agent and Russian Television employee, is contributing money to Ron Paul’s 2012 Presidential Campaign and using his TV show on Russia Today to raise money for Paul. This is from his June 6, 2011, broadcast. “We raised over $1 million for the Ron Paul campaign,” he says. “…I urge you to support none other than Congressman Ron Paul.”

NOTE: Kokesh’s employer, Russia Today television, is registered as a foreign corporation in the U.S. Foreign corporations are prohibited from “contributing, donating or spending funds in connection with any federal, state, or local election in the United States, either directly or indirectly.”
