‘Straw man’
They have created a straw man out of Smirnov, pretending he was the “lead informant” of the impeachment inquiry.
But he was no such thing.
Smirnov wasn’t any kind of informant.
House Oversight Committee Chairman
James Comer (R-Ky.) could do nothing with Smirnov’s allegation, other than publicize it, because the FBI kept the informant secret, as well as the existence or otherwise of any “investigation.”
The Smirnov indictment doesn’t mean Joe and Hunter are in the clear.
Far from it.
The evidence against them is overwhelming.
Comer’s inquiry was well advanced before Smirnov’s allegation came onto the radar last July.
He had gathered evidence through bank records of millions of dollars from China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania and Kazakhstan being laundered through multiple shell companies for the Biden family, and jaw-dropping testimony from Hunter’s former business partners of Joe’s meetings with Hunter’s foreign benefactors right before big payments dropped.
FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, accused of lying to the FBI, claimed Hunter and Joe Biden each were paid a $5 million bribe by the owner of corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
