  1. By Michael D. Carroll AND Khaleda Rahman:

    A former FBI informant who fabricated a bribery story involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter was sentenced to six years in prison on Wednesday. The false claims became a focal point of Republican-led impeachment efforts against Biden.

    Alexander Smirnov, a dual U.S. and Israeli citizen, pleaded guilty last month in Los Angeles federal court to charges of tax evasion and lying to the FBI. Prosecutors say his fabricated bribery scheme was an attempt to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.

  2. And this news is buried beneath whatever word vomit Trump is spewing. Literally no one will know this happened and the media has once again allowed trump to win. This country deserves exactly what it has coming to it!

  3. The average stupid citizen will have the impression that Hunter Biden was convicted and his dad pardoned him so this witch-hunt from the Trumpanzees was right, even though those accusations had nothing to do with politics and all this Burisma/Shokin/Ukraine nonsense just serviced the geopolitical goals of the enemies of the Free World like almost any other stupid conspiracy theory.

  7. > jailed for 6 years

    Two weeks. He’ll be pardoned almost immediately. Lying to attack the Dems is a virtue to Trump.

  9. The maga cult will just say this is a cover up. They will never change.

  11. I’m sure Republicans will be very interested to read this. /s

  14. This development may be briefly mentioned in Fox and will never see the light of day on any other conservative media outlet

  15. Imprisoned!! Jail is where people are kept when charged with crime, before being found guilty or not. Prison is where people go once found guilty!! 🤷‍♂️

  17. Yeah probably getting rich after he gets pardoned by Trump.
