Extremists plotting to wreak havoc at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) include a Missouri man charged with spying for Russia, sparking fears the Kremlin could seek to unleash chaos at the conference.
Police are already braced for massive protests at the August convention, with agitators threatening a throwback to 1968 when the event turned into a bloodbath.
In recent weeks, clashes at university campuses over the Israel-Hamas conflict have raised concerns that the far left is ramping up plans for a major show of force.
But DailyMail.com can now reveal that those plotting to bring chaos to the streets of Chicago include an agitator who has been linked to a Kremlin plot to 'sow discord' across America.
Jesse Nevel, 34, from St. Louis, Missouri, was charged in a federal probe last year over allegations he conspired with an FSB agent to spread Russian propaganda and influence US elections.
But with the charges still looming, the former mayoral candidate for St Petersburg, Florida, reportedly attended a 'March on DNC' conference in the windy city last month.
The revelations have sparked fears that the Kremlin could target the event as a means of destabilizing the Democratic party and ultimately sway the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.
Max Bergmann, of think tank the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), told DailyMail.com that the DNC was a 'clear target for Russian interference efforts'.
'There's a long history of the Russians using groups on the left, who are "useful idiots", to amplify their own messages and divide America,' he added.
Those involved in the 'March on the DNC 2024' movement include many of the usual suspects, including far-left factions and pro-Palestine activists whose homes have been raided by the FBI as part of a probe into support for terrorist groups.

😳. No way!
Yes of course Russia.
Russia is what ruins the world. /s
Remember when the left loved Russia.
How dare he!
That's the CIA's job!
What about the RNC convention in WI, right in between MN & MI, both with big “anti-Israel” populations?
I wouldn’t honestly care if the rioters broke into the convention and hung all the attendees from the nearest lamp posts, so color me unimpressed. It will all depend on how much money the FBI wants to sink into the rioters anyway.
“Ten percent” Joe will handle this.
A guy who was in a certain 3 letter agency told me in 2020 that all sorts of money from Russia and China was flowing into BLM and Antifa.
Yet our government lets rioters walk free.
Let the left eat themselves the way the French Revolution did.
These guys still do. Their group is called the African People’s Socialist Party.
Wasn't just them. It was money from the 3 letter agencies themselves.
That said, I don't doubt that Russia (and China & Iran) would seek to sow division and chaos.
Not because they want Orange Man Bad in the WH, they most certainly do not.
They would love another 4 years of Pedo Joe and his handlers ("woke" children playing dress up).
Chaos, here, weakens the US and forces us to focus, internally and waste valuable resources, here.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of people.
You mean like they did at the 1968 RAT Convention? 🤪
LISTEN LIMELY LEFTISTS, WE KICKED YOUR ASS OUT OF OUR COUNTRY AND SAVED YOU 3 TIMES, STAY THE H—L OUT OF OUR BUSINESS.
All the other Bad Guys are various shades of Swarthy,
Russians. One guy who worked for the Russians might show up. That proves it. It's official now.
Forget Hamas, or reparations seekers. or environmental whackos or bearers of other grievances not yet quite formulated, or just plain robbery gangs looking for a big payday.
Russians behind all of it.
Russia keeps sending new ones every day.
Unlike 1968, they won’t have all those bad ass helmeted white Chicago cops busting open hippy heads. They better get busy booking those bus rentals baracades!
Just like a ventriloquist dummy
