Republicans Rush to Scrub Mention of FBI Informant in Impeachment Letter
House Republicans are quietly trying to remove traces of indicted ex–FBI informant Alexander Smirnov in their Biden impeachment quest.
House Republicans quietly deleted a reference to their epic fail of an FBI informant in a letter to a potential witness in the somehow-still-ongoing impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden.
Republicans have hinged their Biden investigation on accusations from a supposedly credible but confidential FBI source that Biden and his son Hunter accepted bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch. But the Justice Department has since charged that source, former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, with making false statements and revealed his accusation may have been Russian disinformation.
As a result, House Republicans have begun to scrub mentions of Smirnov from their imploding investigation. Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and Oversight Chair James Comer, who have spearheaded the probe, sent a letter Tuesday to former State Department official Amos Hochstein requesting an interview. The GOP has accused Hochstein of advising Hunter Biden when the latter served on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
Nope. We all saw it.
Streisand it harder though. 🍿
You saw it. I saw it. Doesn't matter.
The media conservatives consume will not cover it (most likely by far) or make it a conspiracy.
Facts do not matter any longer.
Fuckin Russian cucks. The whole GOP.
"We now have zero pieces of evidence to justify impeachment. Therefore, we must impeach."
"How else are we going to convince people impeachment is just a meaningless political cudgel to lower the impact of cheeto's treason if we don't intentionally turn the impeachment process into a meaningless political cudgel?"
fixed
Russian operatives really
Cue the circus music...
I believe you mean...
(Bet you people thought I forgot.)
You should see if the LW admins will just add that as a custom emoji for you. lol. It's gotten some well earned mileage.
We're a three-person family on a single income (not mine), but if they did that, I'd sell some plasma or something and give the money to the instance.
I still can't believe the major informant that they relied on, that turned out to be a Russian agent, was literally named "Alexander Smirnov"
I vodkan't believe it's Smirnov
The Republicans got Smirnov Iced
Keep hiding your crimes, you fucking scum...while you think you can.
Oops 🫢

How long until the DOJ charges this flaccid twat waffle?
Epic fail 👁️👁️
