So much corruption, so many lies

 



I don't actually think Stephen Miller is ignorant or as stupid as the rest of Trump's administration, which can only mean that he is so rabidly racist that he'd sooner see the country destroyed rather than contain brown people.

Former FBI informant admits to lying about Bursima and the Bidens

James Comer’s former star witness in the Hunter Biden investigation Alexander Smirnov pled guilty today in federal court to lying about a $5 million bribe that was supposedly paid by Burisma to Joe Biden in 2015. He made the allegations during the 2020 presidential election in June of that year, which was supposed to pair up with Rudy Giuliani’s “discovery” of the Hunter Biden laptop right before the election.

If it does, it will come to a close quietly and without a single apology.  The question is whether the Bidens will go to court to recoup damages.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

The Smirnov fiasco


How long do we think Comer, et al., knew their informant was full of shit?  I'm betting from the get-go, and they didn't care.  They just hoped to get an impeachment going before anyone else caught on.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 12:14 am:
David Weiss has indicted the informant behind an FD-1023 that Bill Barr used to justify the ongoing investigation into Hunter and Joe Biden. Weiss charged Alexander Smirnov with one count of false statement and one count of obstruction.

The indictment alleges that Smirnov lied about the meetings he did have with Burisma, and lied about what Burisma officials told him.

The indictment ties Smirnov’s efforts to frame Joe Biden with Rudy Giuliani’s efforts, though without naming Rudy.

[...]

Great! They indicted another of James Comer’s great hopes to impeach Joe Biden.

But there are few people left in DOJ who are more conflicted on this prosecution than David Weiss.

Well, no shit.  I can't imagine what the judge who released him was thinking.
