On Thursday, special counsel David Weiss charged a former FBI informant who claimed President Biden was bribed by Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma. The indictment claims the informant lied about Biden's alleged role in the business dealings.
Alexander Smirnov, 43, was arrested on Thursday at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, per CNN.
Smirnov has been accused in the indictment that his 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."
The informant, who has now been identified as Smirnov, provided testimony to House Republicans and their investigation into the Biden family's alleged illegal foreign business dealings. He claimed that Burisma executives paid President Biden and his son Hunter Biden $5 million each to have a Ukrainian prosecutor fired who had been investigating Burisma at the time.
The informant claimed that the bribery occurred while Biden was vice president serving under Barack Obama.
The indictment states, "In truth and fact, the Defendant had contact with executives from Burisma in 2017, after the end of the Obama-Biden Administration and after the then Ukrainian Prosecutor General had been fired in February 2016, in other words, when [Joe Biden] had no ability to influence U.S. policy and when the Prosecutor General was no longer in office."
"In short, the Defendant transformed his routine and unextraordinary business contacts with Burisma in 2017 and later into bribery allegations against [Joe Biden], the presumptive nominee of one of the two major political parties for President, after expressing bias against [Joe Biden] and his candidacy," it continues.
There are probably more true Nazis in Washington D.C. than in Ukraine.
Gotta say...t,,,he way things are, I am getting sadder and sadder. It feels like we don’t have any hope of saving this country.
I wonder how the msm is going to handle this, other than not at all?
Attention FBI informants and others. They will turn on you if you become inconvenient.
That will shut down the opposition. Disappear them into a Gulag somewhere in Alaska.
Whistleblowers are bad.
And shot
Or compel them to come forward immediately.
Will he be Epsteined or Navalnyed while in jail?
Poor guy. He knew what was coming and hanged himself with his sheet.
(Epsteined)
