This dimension to the story has long been literally unbelievable, but this week, it got much worse — not for the president, but for those hunting him. NBC News reported:
An FBI informant has been indicted on two counts for allegedly feeding the bureau false information about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign. Alexander Smirnov, 43, disliked Joe Biden and was arrested in Las Vegas after returning from a trip overseas, according to the Justice Department.
The indictment alleges that Smirnov “provided false derogatory information to the FBI” about Biden and his son. The charges stem from the special counsel investigation led by David Weiss — the Trump-appointed prosecutor.
Something tells me the GOP is quite capable of more embarrassing things
The GOP is incapable of experiencing embarrassment. I on the other hand have new wrinkles from cringing at the second hand embarrassment of half the things they try to pull.
Anyone else think the photo makes it look like Comer and Jordon are about to make out? Just me? Ok, moving on.
They will outdo themselves in a few months, as they have been doing in the past. There will be no rock bottom.
If the GOP cared about the truth and were capable of feeling shame they might be very put out right now.
This is more embarrassing than thinking a rapist and shitty buisnessman who’s going to lose almost half a billion dollars due to court cases is the best person to be president?
Comer getting investigated for his own financial improprieties would be the cherry on top of this shit sundae
> “There were No Victims, No Damages, No Complaints. Only satisfied Banks and Insurance Companies (which made a ton of money), GREAT Financial Statements, that didn’t even include the most valuable Asset ― The TRUMP Brand, IRONCLAD Disclaimers (Buyer Beware, and Do your Own Due Diligence), and amazing Properties all over the World.”
I would argue that there were millions and millions of victims: All the taxpayers who he was cheating.
Give it a week and they’ll outdo it
Most spectacular embarrassment imaginable… so far
Next you’ll tell me the laptop was made up as well.
It’s pretty perfect that the Republican star witness shares a name with the cheap booze they love so much.
Most spectacular embarrassment YET.
>“In a detailed indictment, Special Counsel David Weiss — **who was appointed by former President Donald Trump** — has demonstrated how key evidence at the heart of House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry is based on a lie,” House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin said in a statement.
You love to see it. Trump appointees obliterating these clowns.
This is where the deep state nonsense comes in handy. They’ll just claim this informant is being discredited by Trump’s enemies.
I’d love to hear from a Republican voter how they are going to spin this. Comer’s constituents should be calling his office everyday to stop this embarrassment at the cost of tax payer money.
James Comer always looks like a dumb 6th grade kid trying to explain the science fair project he made in one hour the night before the science fair.
Are republicans capable of embarrassment?
The GOP isn’t embarrassed. They got the mileage out of the story that they wanted. They’re just going to forget all about it, ignore any questions concerning it and move on to another “Biden crime family scandal.”
Pathetic losers
I don’t want to jump to conclusions that “Alexander Smirnov” is Russian, but…
The GOP is incapable of embarrassment and have been proving it since 2016.
>It’s important to understand why this is true: For Biden’s GOP detractors in the House and Senate, Smirnov’s claims were foundational. He was the party’s star witness. Sean Hannity’s Fox News show ran with this informant’s claims in at least 85 separate segments last year. The Republicans’ entire “bribery” conspiracy theory was based on the claims this one “informant” made to the FBI.
Trump has turned Republicans into complete imbecilic morons. It’s ideologically fascist and dumb enough to side with Russia but it was an unforced error of pure stupidity to jump into the honeypot with both fucking feet and dance around on Hannity. Comer and every other Republican should resign oversight committee seats, at the very least.
“GOP suffer ‘most spectacular embarrassment so far’ in anti-Biden case”*
*Fixed that for you.
This isn’t an embarrassment for them, it’s a narrative to feed their base that Biden has weaponized the fbi and doj. Even if the doj publishes the the logic behind how they know he lied, it won’t change the mind of any gop
“Most spectacular embarrassment imaginable…”
Meh, we’re talking about the GOP. Give ‘em some time. They’ll top this.
It’s only an embarrassment if their voters are intelligent enough to recognize it for what it is, and act upon that intelligence. They’re not. That’s why they’re regular GOP voters.
It’s only an embarrassment if they actually feel embarrassed.
Are they about to kiss in the thumbnail?
Give it a week, they will come up with something more juvenile.
Every day is a new embarrassment for the Republicans
They aren’t embarrassed, they’ll keep pulling crap like this because many people only read headlines and by this time it’s “old news”. They’ll keep spraying this kind of stuff to add to the chaos, which people eventually tire of and stop paying attention, and that’s when the real shady stuff goes down. Straight out of the Russia playbook.
I need the republicans to feel the same levels of shame as the “SHOTS FIRED SHOTS FIRED” cop that got scared of an acorn. Because apparently that’s the amount of shame it takes in this day and age to resign and go away
Embarrassment requires shame and publicity. They have no shame and their base will never hear about it from right-wing media.
They have no shame – so there’s no embarrassment. They also have no morals. And they are traitors. And they support a candidate a judge called a rapist. So there’s that …
Incorrect.
Republicans are literally shameless.
The shameless do not feel embarrassment.
🦶🔫
They are incompetent, lying idiots. Serves them right.
Embarrassment means nothing to people who are pushing for legalized rape.
Yes. This is bad for them. Also… they demanded a border security bill, got one, refused it… then said the Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan funding was dead on arrival because it didn’t address border security (so, not really much of a crisis if Trump wants to run on it)… and then in the past two weeks their frontrunner has been adjudicated a rapist, a defamer and a fraud. So… all in all, the Republicans are having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month.
