Hunter Biden informant charged with lying had high-level Russian contacts: Documents
ABC ^ | 02 20 2024 | Mike Levine, Lucien Bruggeman, and Alexander Mallin

The informant accused of fabricating a story about President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden taking $5 million each in bribes allegedly had high-level Russian intelligence contacts, according to newly filed court documents.

In the filing, Special Counsel David Weiss reveals that after his arrest last week, Alexander Smirnov told the FBI "that officials with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story" about Hunter Biden.

Prosecutors argued in their filing Smirnov should be held pending trial, with Weiss saying that Smirnov's claims he has active contacts with "multiple foreign intelligence agencies" and had planned to leave the U.S. just two days after his arrival in the U.S. last week "for a months-long, multi-country foreign trip."

However, a judge late Tuesday ordered Smirnov released from custody, under the condition that he surrender his passport, wear an ankle monitor, and be restricted to traveling only to Nevada and to California for court purposes.

In Weiss' filing, he wrote that "foreign intelligence agencies could resettle Smirnov outside the United States if he were released."

Furthermore, "Smirnov's efforts to spread misinformation about a candidate of one of the two major parties in the United States continues," the filing states. "What this shows is that the misinformation he is spreading is not confined to 2020. He is actively peddling new lies that could impact U.S. elections after meeting with Russian intelligence officials in November. In light of that fact there is a serious risk he will flee in order to avoid accountability for his actions."

This is where they push Biden out.

Charge this guy. Then the evidence they knew all along of Hunter and Joe on the take comes out.

Enter the real Dem candidate.

The million bucks a year that Hunter was getting from Burisma was NOT a bribe.

Who are ya gonna believe - our government and its Media, or your lying eyes?

“Smirnov’s efforts to spread misinformation about a candidate of one of the two major parties in the United States continues,”

This is now a crime?

What about the misinformation about Trump paying hookers to pee on a bed Obama slept in?

If the FBI has anything to do with it, you can take it to the bank! Those guys are professionals! They’ll do things for a nickel under a bridge at night you wouldn’t believe! And the guys reading this? Oh man!

Biden and the FBI clearly protecting each other and engaging in a coverup to keep Trump from office, or else Bidens and FBI players go to prison. FBI got Biden elected for its own purposes and it was good for Biden to get elected and have the FBI return the favor and cover up Biden’s crimes while he covered up theirs as reward for helping him become president. And as long as Trump is trying to supplant Biden, both Biden and the FBI is in danger, therefore Biden and the FBI still need each other and they need Trump to lose.

Weiss, Biden’s Del errand boy, is obviously trying to bury the bribe story. Quite a coincidence that Smirov is arrested after stepping off a plane. How is Weiss even involved in the bribery story?

This guy has no chance.
They have arrested him and charged him with Russian collusion because he testified against the Biden’s.
The legal system is a corrupt joke 3rd world political monster as demonstrated by the verdicts in NYC against Trump and the lack of arrests for crossfire Hurricane.

If only the head of the SCOTUS still could make good decisions.

Spies and informants have contacts. That’s how they can be spies and informants.
