Hunter Biden noted Alexander Smirnov’s name to the impeachment committee Wednesday, claiming “Smirnov… has made you dupes in carrying out a Russian disinformation campaign waged against my father.”
Democrats have been slavering over the indictment of Alexander Smirnov, the trusted FBI paid informant of 13 years standing who they have branded a Russian spy before he even goes to trial.
Hunter Biden used Smirnov as a crutch in his opening statement to the impeachment committee Wednesday, claiming “Smirnov… has made you dupes in carrying out a Russian disinformation campaign waged against my father.”
There’s barely a Democrat alive who doesn’t invoke Russia when the heat comes on.
It’s a clue to their sweaty desperation.
Rep. Eric Swalwell’s tweet this week was among his most coherent: “Trump is Putin. Putin is Trump. Beating Trump this fall mean beating Putin.”
There’s a lot to unpack in “Fang Fang” Swalwell’s Putin fetish, but we’ll resist the urge.
Rep. Jamie Raskin rushed out of Hunter’ deposition hearing room after only an hour to cry “Smirnov,” who is so irrelevant he wasn’t even a witness to the impeachment inquiry since nobody knew who he was.
But, according to Raskin, Smirnov was the impeachment inquiry’s “star witness.”
Raskin declared that the voluminous evidence the inquiry has unearthed of Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’ corrupt schemes has “a very strong whiff of a Russian intelligence operation” and urged Republicans to “fold up the circus tent” because “this thing is over.”
Not so fast, big guy.Sloppy set-up job
If Smirnov, a Ukrainian-born Israeli-American, survives jail until his trial in April, the facts should become clearer, but Special Counsel David Weiss’ court filings so far have a “very strong” whiff of a sloppy set up job.
