We knew the whole "Impeach Biden" scam would blow up in their faces.

 

But we didn't think it would be this bad! 



Ex-Informant Accused of Lying About Bidens Said He Had Russian Contacts 


"Federal prosecutors portrayed the former informant, Alexander Smirnov, 43, as a serial liar incapable of telling the truth about even the most basic details of his own life."

 "Last week, Mr. Weiss charged Mr. Smirnov with fabricating claims that President Biden and his son each sought $5 million bribes from a Ukrainian energy giant, Burisma, demanding the money to protect the company from an investigation by the country’s prosecutor general. 

 Those allegations, which prosecutors now say were brazen fabrications motivated by Mr. Smirnov’s animosity toward the president, were widely promoted by congressional Republicans who cited it as a justification for their now-stalled effort to impeach Mr. Biden."


The Congressional Republicans, at Trump's command, brought an impeachment inquiry based on lies from a liar, Smirnov.

A Liar, Trump, demanded his lackeys in Congress, Comer, Jordan, and Grassley bring impeachment proceedings against President Biden, as revenge for the TWO impeachments Congress delivered to the corrupt Trump.

It all blew up in their vicious fabricating clown faces.

The Trumpublican pols and dirty tricksters who suborned or facilitated these politically motivated malicious lies about the Bidens outgh to be held to account and be punished.


Shame! Shame! Shame! 


"...as mortifying as this was for the GOP, the new details add an epic twist: Smirnov didn’t just make up his fanciful anti-Biden tales, prosecutors argued, he did so after being fed claims from Russian intelligence officials. 

 In fact, according to the court filing, Smirnov 'admitted that officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved in passing a story about' Hunter Biden. 

 The result is an unsettling dynamic: If the allegations from the Trump-appointed prosecutor are accurate, leading congressional Republicans might’ve served as conduits, not just for false claims, but also for Russian misinformation. 

The “scandal” isn’t what Joe Biden did, it’s apparently what his accusers did." --Steve Benen

Does anyone believe that trump was not aware of this and/or helped facilitate this? Me neither.

Trump and the Republicans are swallowing Russian lies and it is hurting our county!

In their obsession to smear the Bidens, the Republican Party is selling out America and endangering us.

They are a danger to our safety!

Oconus lures. 'nuff said.

It didn't blow up, it was all made up. The GOP has no evidence of anything they've been alleging for months. Everything they've posited has been false rumors and innuendo. Everything the clueless like -FJ have been spouting as fact, does not exist.

Jim Jordan was asked about this and he said the committee was still relying on the documents they had from the lying witness. When a CNN reporter said "but they [the statements from the FBI witness] are false", he walked away saying they relied on the FBI.

You literally can't make this stuff up.

And yet the Geez/Mothership crowd, rather than admit it was made up and based on lies, will say the GOP doesn't "play hardball" or isn't as "mean and nasty" as the Dems.

Look, for years the right and the MAGA enablers have said, as Hannity has done over and over, that government is inept and not to be trusted. Now they have a direct case of a government informant lying and maybe even being tied to a Russian agent, and they are saying we have to trust the guy.

What is up with this crowd?

Here's the answer. They only believe THEY have a right to be elected and make decisions for America.

Thersites' cryptic comment is a joke.

The Russians have captured Trump and the Trumpublican Party. That's pretty obvious.

Also, IMO, Russia chose easily duped Trump and the people who support him. They've got him and his MAGAs right where they want them.

This whole time, when I saw (R) after politician’s names, I always thought it was Republican and not Russian. Silly me.

Larry Middleton:

MAGA and QAnon love conspiracies, strawmen and false flags. Well, the Hunter Biden/Joe Biden investigation has clearly been exposed as the carcass of a false flag operation directly from the Kremlin. But Q and MAGA are so far in denial, they won't admit that it's dead and over.

When I promoted pro wrestling I had a wrestler that used a Russian gimmick. He said he knows lots of stuff. I should send him Jim Jordan's way. Maybe I'll get an award or pair of gold sneakers.

After months of touting his central witness, Alexander Smirnov, on the media circuit, making his FD-1023 public, pushing his uncorroborated statements (despite FBI objections), swearing up and down about how important he was to the impeachment investigation, James Comer got caught in his lies and is now running for the hills.

It doesn’t matter if Comer is simply stupid, a criminal, criminally stupid or stupidly criminal.

He is unfit to serve in Congress.
