FBI informant charged with lying about Joe and Hunter Biden's ties to Ukrainian energy company

Boy. Isn't this a big one in the Hunter Biden conspiracy?

The big thing from Congressional Oversight Republicans, the one thing that seemed like evidence of the bribery they keep claiming, was that they got the "FD-1023" report of an informant that alleged the $5 million to Biden. Chuck Grassley put out a press release about it.

And now it appears like it was just some guy who lied about it.

If Comer knew that his informant was lying, then he should be charged too.

Couldn't the time of contact have been figured out faster with modern communications technology? The media took the story to garner vyoos.

And how many Republicans will come to this guy's defense? My guess is a big fat zero. He served his purpose in muddying the waters. An expendable asset.

Wow, this took way too long to be debunked.

Now charge him for the chain of events that led to the internet seeing Hunter whack his meat.

Impeach Hunter!

This is the best summary I could come up with:

WASHINGTON (AP) — An FBI informant has been charged with lying to his handler about ties between President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company.

Alexander Smirnov falsely told FBI agents in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016, prosecutors said Thursday.

Smirnov told the FBI that a Burisma executive had claimed to have hired Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems,” prosecutors said.

Prosecutors say that though Smirnov claimed to have had contact with Burisma executives near the end of the Obama administration, it actually took place after Obama and Biden had left office -- when Biden would have had no ability to influence U.S. policy.

“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,” the indictment said.

He was expected to make a first court appearance in Las Vegas, where he was arrested Wednesday after arriving from overseas, prosecutors said.
