From the article:
>Special counsel David Weiss has indicted an FBI confidential source who provided derogatory information about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden on felony false statement and obstruction charges.
>
>**Weiss indicted Alexander Smirnov, 43, on one count of making a false statement and one count of creating a false and fictitious record** related to statements he made to the FBI on a document known as an FBI Form 1023.
>
>**Charging documents released on Thursday show Smirnov was a confidential source for the FBI and allegedly provided “false derogatory information about [President Biden] and [Hunter Biden]** … in 2020, after [Biden] became a presidential candidate.”
>
>**Smirnov is the same person that Republicans have called “a highly credible FBI source” and have used to claim Joe Biden is corrupt**, according to multiple senior congressional sources.
Surely all those Republicans are going to issue an official apology to the President and his son any minute now…
… any minute …
Republicans are on their way to making Joe Biden unbeatable in November. Congratulations! 👏
“This is just more proof that the Biden crime family has been selling out America to the highest bidder” -republicans probably
How can you not trust someone named after vodka!?
Not-So-Breaking News:
Jim Jordan is still the biggest Donald Trump cuck on the team.
Using corruption to try to say there was corruption. Way to go GOP
Wonder what Comer will say now.
“Investigation interference” – him probably.
James Comer… “this is why we need to go through all the evidence, as you can see, there’s a criminal element here” (let’s see if this ends up being sarcasm…)
Just waiting to see the usual republicans on fox news tonight, saying that Biden is arresting this source to hide the truth
Remember when some FBI agent filed their paperwork for something against Trump slightly incorrectly, and Republicans used it to claim Trump wiretap happened illegally & under pretense. And even your grandma & grandpa were talking about this since It was all over republican circles.
Well.. we now have this. Somehow the “liberal media”, and Democrats will fail to hammer this home. And will be crickets among folks who are voting for Biden.
Another day another Russian agent flailing wildly at Biden, even as Putin says ignore all the agents and state media saying the opposite, we actually prefer Biden.
Investigate the hell out of this liar for ties to Russia.
Reminder:
When Trump pushed zelenksy to investigate biden he also asked for him to publicly announce a bogus investigation into whether it was Ukraine and not Russia behind the DNC hacking.
Not do an investigation, just to announce it.
Think about that.
Putting the DNC hacking back in the news wouldn’t help Trump at all. It would just sour Americans to Ukraine in advance of the coming Russian invasion.
People need to wake up to the now blatantly obvious evidence that Trump works for Russia.
Every stupid thing he’s done makes perfect sense once you accept it.
The russians got a plant in the oval office, and Americans might be dumb enough to elect him back in. Wake the fuck up.
Paging r con, paging r con, please update your misinfo and move the goalposts accordingly
Anybody with the FBI going to be held accountable?
Just 24h before we see the ruling in Trump’s civil case?! God, what a weekend to be alive!
I’ve had MSNBC on all evening, to catch up on today’s stories.
All they talked about was the show trial down in Atlanta.
Not a single word about the GOP star ” whistleblower” witness in prosecuting Hunter and Joe Biden for supposedly taking 5 million each in bribes from Burisima in Ukraine.
Do better MSNBC.
Waiting to see how many people confuse a source with an agent. Also would be nice to see the actual details and story. Some dude lied to make money. Gotcha. Sources become sources quote often because someone has dirt on them. There’s a rare few who are “noble patriots” trying to do good, but the majority are motivated by ego and greed. No amount of vetting would ever get me to trust any source ever.
No, stop.
They’ll just say he did something to kill the evidence against him.
I’m sure Republicans will issue an apology quickly. /s
Gosh, this whole tiny ‘oopsie’ might have been completely avoided if it weren’t for the small and apparently unimportant throwaway detail that easily half of our elected officials are cheap, dimwitted, easily blackmailed megalomaniacal Russian assets.
It’s so obvious and beyond fucking maddening that media outlets (clearly also bought) have absofuckinglutely nothing to say about any of it.
