How can lying to inveterate liars be illegal, much less wrong?

To bad this informant was just a contractor. If he actually worked for the FBI he would be receiving an accommodation.

The man charged with lying to the FBI had been cited by Republicans to accuse Biden of engaging in a bribery scheme — and is a central part of their impeachment probe

Because Congress in collusion with the FBI writes the laws. If the FBI had to video their interrogations, things would be quite different. There is definitely no equal justice under the law in the USA.

I wonder if it is another case of …… recant or we’re going to put you in jail for saying you saw it on one day, but it was really the next day

So they don’t deny he took the money. But when he took it?

He dared question Biden’s and Hunter’s role with Ukraine. FBI “pounced” and will be making an example of him.

So, Smirnov was the confidential source democrats were once protecting?

The FBI’s deputy director, Paul Abbate, testified before the Senate last month that the FD-1023 had been redacted to protect the source: “This a question of life and death, potentially.”
Well this is one way to discredit a once credible source. Well played

Well, since CNN is promoting this article, and there is this statement in the article:

Congressional Republicans have championed Smirnov’s now-discredited allegations for roughly a year, though not by name. They fought with the FBI to obtain memos about what Smirnov told investigators and publicly released the materials over the FBI’s objections. The congressional Republicans repeatedly praised Smirnov as “credible” and put his uncorroborated claims front-and-center in their impeachment inquiry into the president.

Does that help you decide? 🙂

If not, he has been saying that Joe & Hunter were/are dirty. 🙂

You gotta love this statement:

The indictment alleges that Smirnov’s story to the FBI “was a fabrication, an amalgam of otherwise unremarkable business meetings and contacts that had actually occurred but at a later date than he claimed and for the purpose of pitching Burisma on the Defendant’s services and products, not for discussing bribes to [Joe Biden] when he was in office.”

Games & lying, just like the Trump indictments. Lawfare to protect the guilty while painting the innocent to continue the lies & corruption.
