6. Despite repeated admonishments that he must provide truthful information to the FBI and that he must not fabricate evidence, the Defendant provided false derogatory information to the FBI about Public Official 1, an elected official in the Obama-Biden Administration who left office in January 2017, and Businessperson 1, the son of Public Official 1, in 2020, after Public Official 1 became a candidate for President of the United States of America.
a. As described in greater detail below, in March 2017, the Defendant reported to the Handler that he had had a phone call with the owner of Ukrainian industrial conglomerate Burisma Holdings, Limited (hereafter “Burisma Official 1”) concerning Burisma’s interest in acquiring a U.S. company and making an initial public offering (“IPO”) on a U.S.-based stock exchange. In reporting that conversation to the Handler, the Defendant also noted that Businessperson 1, Public Official 1’s son, was a member of Burisma’s Board, a fact that was publicly known.
b. Three years later, in June 2020, the Defendant reported, for the first time, two meetings in 2015 and/or 2016, during the ObamaBiden Administration, in which he claimed executives associated with Burisma, including Burisma Official 1, admitted to him that they hired Businessperson 1 to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” and later that they had specifically paid $5 million each to Public Official 1 and Businessperson 1, when Public Official 1 was still in office, so that “[Businessperson 1] will take care of all those issues through his dad,” referring to a criminal investigation being conducted by the then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General into Burisma and to “deal with [the then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General].”
c. The Defendant also reported two purported phone calls between himself and Burisma Official 1 wherein Burisma Official 1 stated that he had been forced to pay Public Official 1 and Businessperson 1 and that it would take investigators 10 years to find records of illicit payments to Public Official 1.
d. As alleged herein, the events the Defendant first reported to the Handler in June 2020 were fabrications. In truth and fact, the Defendant had contact with executives from Burisma in 2017, after the end of the Obama-Biden Administration and after the then Ukrainian Prosecutor General had been fired in February 2016, in other words, when Public Official 1 had no ability to influence U.S. policy and when the Prosecutor General was no longer in office. In short, the Defendant transformed his routine and unextraordinary business contacts with Burisma in 2017 and later into bribery allegations against Public Official 1, the presumptive nominee of one of the two major political parties for President, after expressing bias against Public Official 1 and his candidacy.
Alexander Smirnov, 43, who disliked President Joe Biden, was arrested in Las Vegas after returning from a trip overseas, according to the Justice Department. The case grew out of the special counsel investigation being led by David Weiss, who is also leading the case against Hunter Biden. Weiss had been appointed by former President Donald Trump as the top federal prosecutor in Delaware.
Ought to be pretty much the end of the GOP impeachment inquiry into Biden. This lying POS was who the republicans were relying on.
Again, not holding my breath.
>>>>The indictment alleges that Smirnov’s story to the FBI “was a fabrication, an amalgam of otherwise unremarkable business meetings and contacts that had actually occurred but at a later date than he claimed and for the purpose of pitching Burisma on the Defendant’s services and products, not for discussing bribes to [Joe Biden] when he was in office.”
Congressional Republicans have championed Smirnov’s now-discredited allegations for roughly a year, though not by name. They fought with the FBI to obtain memos about what Smirnov told investigators and publicly released the materials over the FBI’s objections. The congressional Republicans repeatedly praised Smirnov as “credible” and put his uncorroborated claims front-and-center in their impeachment inquiry into the president.
While announcing the impeachment inquiry, then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said “a trusted FBI informant has alleged a bribe to the Biden family.” The FBI is now using some of the same memos that congressional Republicans released as part of their indictment against Smirnov.<<<<
Comer and "Gym" Jordan have been peddling this guy's lies for a year as justification for Biden's impeachment. Oops. Republican clown-car.
The main witness against Joe is Hunter (who, btw, has been indicted if you forgot) . The time line of Joes involvement is corroborated by the laptop, money transfers ad nauseam. Joe’s DOJ isn’t going to cooperate as demonstrated ( first by the refusal to indict HRC) then a guilty as sin elderly man with a poor memory.

I wonder if it was the same FBI agents who investigated Smirnov and the US attorney who indicted Smirnov that planted that fake pipe bomb on J-6?
I want to know the truth!

I guess it evaded your discernment but the same Special Counsel who indicted Hunter indicted this guy. Every money transfer has been explained and corroborated.
Quit listening to Fox, they are lying to you.

Facts? Cites? Proof? Evidence?
Your impeachment proceeding just got flushed down the shitter.

Yes, Hunter is a good boy. Eats all his vegetables and says his prayers. Then Fucks his dead brothers wife while smoking crack. No no no he would never take a bribe. He’s too good for that.

None of which changes the fact that Comer's star witness is an indicted liar.
