House Republicans are demanding the FBI turn over records related to the federal government’s indictment of a once-trusted confidential human source (CHS), according to a joint congressional letter shared exclusively with The Federalist.
On Friday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan sent the letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray to request documents related to Special Counsel David Weiss’s indictment of CHS Alexander Smirnov. Smirnov was charged two weeks ago for allegedly making false statements about President Joe Biden’s involvement in a criminal bribery scheme with a Ukrainian oligarch. Republican lawmakers, however, are left with questions about the FBI’s sudden about-face on the source they once highly regarded.
“Prior to the indictment, the FBI allowed Mr. Smirnov to serve as a CHS for over 14 years and earn a six-figure income, while maintaining ‘extensive and extremely recent’ foreign intelligence contacts,” lawmakers wrote. “Only after Mr. Smirnov reported that President Joe Biden accepted a bribe from a Ukrainian energy company in exchange for using his official position to oust the Ukrainian Prosecutor General did the FBI apparently take a hard look at this CHS.”

Commentary:
Garland's DoJ needed to quash the Joe Bribe-'em problems by indicting Smirnov for lying about the amount of bribes that Hunter and Joe got from the Ukraine.
Of Course It is only fair. After all, didn't they arrest Christopher Steele and charge him with fabricating his story about Trump's role in the Russia collusion scandal....
What? They never indicted Steele....? Oh Nevermind...
Smirinov knows where the bodies are....
Arresting and jailing Smirinov is a clumsy and desperate measure by the Biden crime family. It’s obvious they want to keep him on ice and away from the impeachment inquiry. The DOJ and FBI continue to embarrass themselves as Biden’s dogs.
Disgraceful. --- Remember That Smirinov did not commit suicide.

The Federalist is Reich Wing bull shit site. But when you go looking for bull shit this is what you get.

 

[Marener]

It is if youre doing it for financial reasons. You are aware of the Hunter/Burisma emails, texts and phone calls and their timelines related to that move by Joe, right? Aint no jury on Earth going to look at that timeline and NOT think Joe did this for financial reasons. Thats why he will write up pardons for these crimes.

You’re going to have to prove that he did it for financial reasons.

Emails, texts and phone calls aren’t bank records which is what you claimed.

None of the emails, text and phone calls have record of Joe Biden being asked to do anything by Burisma.

Your own link says this:

Alexander Smirnov, 43, is accused of lying about the Bidens accepting payments from energy firm Burisma.

The Justice Department said Mr Smirnov gave false statements to the FBI because he disliked President Biden.

Republicans had relied on his claims in an ongoing bid to impeach Mr Biden.

Comer Pyle's "investigation" blew up in his face. His whistleblower was an agent Communist China. None of his evidence proved to be true. No Burisma Bribe.

The F.B.I. arrested Smirnov for passing Russian Disinformation. When your source is Russian asset, time to rethink.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Wait, I thought you were saying that they would convict on the bank records alone and now you’re saying we haven’t even seen them?

So you’re just speculating.

That's all they do, speculate.

You’re going to have to prove that he did it for financial reasons.

Bank records of money transfers from people who were emailing Hunter to get his dad to remove a prosecutor, then Joe flies AF2 to Ukraine 3 days later to force them to fire the prosecutor. Do you think it was just a wild coincidence and that Joe had already planned that trip BEFORE Hunter received those emails? Not a chance. Investigators WILL find out if that AF2 trip was scheduled before or after Hunter got the email, and if it was scheduled after, the Bidens are fucked.


Good luck convincing a jury that they werent taking bribes.

Joe Flew to Ukraine to fire the corrupt prosecutor because the IMF, EU, and even Republicans in Congress said he had to go before Ukraine could be given any more aid.

But you guys leave that part out.

Oh, and no one at Bursima really cared about this prosecutor, they knew he could be bought.

I know the small youre talking about and I know it’s absolutely nothing like what you describe.

So your belief is that it was just a WILD coincidence that he flew there 3 days later to fire him? That seems extremely unrealistic. So i guess YOU have to pray that Joes trip was planned BEFORE Hunter got that email asking for his dads help to fire the prosecutor.

Im quite comfortable with the odds that the trip was suddenly planned after the email. It wont be a mystery for too much longer. They WILL find out by checking the White House calendar, once NARA stops stonewalling.

 

[Godboy]

I know the small youre talking about and I know it’s absolutely nothing like what you describe.

They asked for help with this troublesome prosecutor. Any suggestion otherwise is a complete lie.

 

[Marener]

“They” isn’t who you claim and they didn’t ask for help with a troublesome prosecutor. Nothing in the email has anything to do with Joe Biden, it’s about a public relations and strategy consultant.

No, people had been screaming to remove Shokin for months. The corker was when two of his deputies got their houses raided and were caught with massive amounts of uncut diamonds and foreign currency.

Im quite comfortable with the odds that the trip was suddenly planned after the email. It wont be a mystery for too much longer. They WILL find out by checking the White House calendar, once NARA stops stonewalling.

Yes, you guys have been claiming that for years now, but the reality is, your main guy got caught being a Russian Agent.

They asked for help with this troublesome prosecutor. Any suggestion otherwise is a complete lie.

Except the EU wanted him gone.
The IMF wanted him gone.
The Ukrainian Parliment,- the Rada - wanted him gone.
Republicans in Congress wanted him gone.

Biden would have to be a master manipulator to get all these people turned against poor little Shokin.

Or Shokin was just a corrupt boob who needed to go.

 

[Godboy]

“They” isn’t who you claim and they didn’t ask for help with a troublesome prosecutor. Nothing in the email has anything to do with Joe Biden, it’s about a public relations and strategy consultant.

These denials of your will become embarrassing and meaningless the moment that Joe writes pardons for these crimes.

Uhuh, but when was the flight scheduled? Before or AFTER the email? If its after, any jury on earth will convict them.

 

[JoeB131]

These denials of your will become embarrassing and meaningless the moment that Joe writes pardons for these crimes.

Why would he need to do that?

He probably should pardon Hunter for the gun and tax charges, because those are bullshit.

 

[JoeB131]

Uhuh, but when was the flight scheduled? Before or AFTER the email? If its after, any jury on earth will convict them.

The email doesn't say what you claim it does.
Everyone wanted Shokin gone.

Biden didn't fire him, the Rada did.

 

[Godboy]

Why would he need to do that?

Because him and his family are guilty of MANY crimes. Thats why he will be pardoning him and his family for those crimes. His pardon will be written in such a way to specifically protect the Bidens against the Ukraine stuff, among many other crimes.
