MAX PARRY—One of the biggest propagandists of the Russiagate hoax was neo-conservative pundit Max Boot of The Washington Post. In July 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) issued two counts against Boot’s wife, Sue Mi Terry, an ex-CIA analyst and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, for acting as an agent-of-influence on behalf of South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS). A self-proclaimed expert on the DPRK, Terry received payments with undisclosed payoffs, expensive dinners and designer handbags to advance ROK government positions in the media. The unsealed indictment also alleges Terry used her prestige at various think tanks on a quid pro quo basis to share private information with NIS officers and arrange exclusive meetings between South Korean and U.S. officials, without registering under FARA.
