The former FBI informant charged with lying about the Bidens’ dealings in Ukraine told investigators after his arrest that Russian intelligence officials were involved in passing information to him about Hunter Biden, prosecutors said Tuesday in a new court filing, noting that the information was false.

Prosecutors also said Alexander Smirnov has been “actively peddling new lies that could impact US elections” after meeting with Russian spies late last year and that the fallout from his previous false bribery accusations about the Bidens “continue[s] to be felt to this day.”

Smirnov claims to have “extensive and extremely recent” contacts with foreign intelligence officials, prosecutors said in the filing. They said he previously told the FBI that he has longstanding and extensive contacts with Russian spies, including individuals he said were high-level intelligence officers or command Russian assassins abroad.

Smirnov told investigators Russian intelligence officers would use the hotel to intercept cell phone calls made by “prominent US persons,” prosecutors said, which the Russian government could use as “‘kompromat’ in the 2024 election, depending on who the candidates will be.” Kompromat is a Russian term that refers to compromising information used for blackmail.

The story, prosecutors noted, matches the story Smirnov told his handler about Hunter Biden being recorded in a foreign hotel.

“Thus, Smirnov’s efforts to spread misinformation about a candidate of one of the two major parties in the United States continues,” prosecutors wrote.

Wittingly or not, in their quest for power the Republican Party has been acting as an extension of Russian Intelligence for years.

Let THAT sink in.

Their actions in the next few days will tell us whether they were unwitting dupes or knowing participants.

Useful idiots or treasonous idiots.

So the FBI admitted tha Hunter’s laptop was real. Obviously some conman with Russian support evidently made up stuff and it was brought into by the political types.

It’s why we are supposed to hold trials and such. Cross examine.

So this one source was polluted.

They apparently found some collaboration or it would not have gotten as far as it did.

Joes and Hunters own words are enough to indicate a need for examination.

If this guy lied to congress and law enforcement, I hope he gets what he has coming.

But where is the equal time for the out of the woodwork sources the democrats pull up whenever they want to malign a conservative? They may not be FSB operatives but these vague distant complaints get taken way too seriously, unlike this one that is being investigated and prosecuted appropriately.
