FBI Informant Pleads Guilty to Lying About Joe Biden Bribes
There are some pretty prominent Republicans who now have egg on their face thanks to a report that was posted by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) that never should have been made public.
Grassley published a raw report from the FBI with the claim from an informant who said that Hunter and Joe Biden had been paid $5 million each by a Ukrainian businessman to have Biden help protect his business interests.
The FBI had dismissed the report as not credible. Grassley not only published it, but he also framed it in a way that had us all up in arms, as if the FBI was appearing to protect Joe and Hunter Biden.
Fake News
This report had the right up in arms, and it was also used by several committees during their investigation of Donald Trump.
Of course, there were also people like me who took Grassley and other Republicans at their word that this report was legit and was being buried by the FBI to protect Biden.
The report centered around claims made by Alexander Smirnov, who had been a longstanding FBI informant.
In this particular incident, however, he had nothing to back up his report and there was no paper trail to back up the financial payments, all information we found out after the initial report was posted by Grassley.
Now, Smirnov has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about a claim he made at the time regarding the collective $10 million bribe.
In addition to Grassley, among others, Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and James Comer (R-KY) used this report to get everyone riled up as well as their investigations into Biden’s business activities.
The thing that really upsets me here is that none of these people have come forward to apologize for misleading us, nor have they apologized for the millions of tax dollars they wasted chasing down this lie.
The GOP has used most of the last two years in power in the House to run these investigations, and they more or less came up empty, with no charges against Joe Biden or even a referral.
Ask me if I believe Joe Biden is corrupt, and I will 100% tell you I think he is. So why is the GOP having so much trouble finding the evidence to bring charges?
Do they even want to bring charges or this just one big show to justify their existence?
At this point, I am done with it, and want them to get back to work. We have only two years left in control, and this time we have everything.
They need to produce in a big way over the next two years or Trump will wind up a lame duck and we will be right back where we were in 2020 when the election in 2028 is completed.
Stop playing games, and get to work!
