Alexander Smirnov admitted he fabricated the conspiracy that Joe Biden and his son Hunter had made millions from a Ukrainian energy company.https://newrepublic.com/post/189316/surprise-key-witness-reveals-lied-biden-corruption
>>1368170The ex-FBI informant who accused President Joe Biden and his son Hunter of netting millions of dollars in bribes from Ukrainian energy company Burisma has admitted that the whole story was a dud.In a plea deal, Alexander Smirnov admitted to completely fabricating the conspiracy that became central to a Republican effort to impeach the sitting president. Smirnov agreed to plead guilty to four felony charges, which include one count of obstruction of justice and three tax evasion charges, in exchange for the end of two pending criminal cases against him, according to court documents.In June 2020, Smirnov falsely reported to the FBI that Burisma executives had paid Biden and his son millions of dollars. The fake claim was part of a larger series of unfounded allegations that accused Biden of improperly leveraging his position as vice president (at the time) to prevent a corruption investigation into Burisma, of which Hunter sat on the board. The fraudulent tale also sparked an October surprise in the 2020 election about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which Trump allies Rudy Giuliani and Steve Bannon insisted contained evidence that Biden and a Burisma adviser had held a “meeting.” (The New York Post, which ran the original story on its front page, later said that the contents of the laptop were mixed with fake material and that most of the data could not be verified.)
>>1368170Smirnov could face anywhere between two to six years behind bars for fabricating the story, though Donald Trump could potentially commute his sentence or outright pardon the conservative witness once he returns to the White House.In February, the Justice Department revealed that Smirnov admitted to prosecutors that “officials associated with Russian intelligence were involved” in developing the Hunter Biden narrative.In the ensuing fallout over the DOJ indictment, Smirnov told investigators he was in contact with “four different [top] Russian officials,” two of whom were the “heads of the entities they represent.”Republicans had spent months building up the hype around Smirnov as a witness, isolating his allegation that Biden had pocketed millions of dollars from the Ukrainian company as the centerpiece of their probe. But in the end, Smirnov’s faux narrative—and its ability to capture and sway overzealous and power-hungry U.S. politicians—served as just another example of how effectively the Russian government can infiltrate and undermine U.S. elections.

>>1368172>Smirnov could face anywhere between two to six years behind bars for fabricating the story, though Donald Trump could potentially commute his sentence or outright pardon the conservative witness once he returns to the White House.And he will, because that's why he lied in the first place and is only admitting it now.
>>1368172>fabricating the story..we know he did it, though. We have Hunter's laptop and all the emails on his icloud account. It confirms all of this shit. We also mapped out all of the Biden shell companies that were taking money from not just Ukraine, but China too. Five years ago.
>>1368176Did you not read what was posted or are you just illiterate?
>>1368177I think you need to kill yourself if you don't believe the FBI can't force someone to make a false confession. The contents of the laptop (including the emails) are a matter of congressional record.
>>1368176>>1368178Except the burisma stories on the laptop turned out to be bullshit. What was actually in it is congressional record but not public. What is public was a leak from a copy the FBI literally confirmed had fake info mixed in.There's a reason why republicans spent the last three years trying to dig up shit on Hunter and all they could come up with after everything was failing to pay taxes and buying a gun while being addicted to drugs, not anything to actually do with Burisma or his dad.
>>1368192>What was actually in it is congressional record but not public.No, they were given a backup of the HD. All of it was covered in the oversight committee. Also, 4chan was the one who hacked his icloud account in the first place. His emails were circulating here since 2019. /pol/ was almost nuked because he had CSAM on his shitbox.>b-but corporate media said..>b-but the FBI said..No. Fuck off. You retards also said that the mere existence of the laptop was russian disinformation, as confirmed by multiple CIA intelligence officials. Which turned out to be a lie, too.You faggots have burned whatever credibility you had remaining.
>>1368192>spent the last three years trying to dig up shit on HunterYeah, because republicans and democrats are a part of the same corrupt uniparty, and digging up skeletons gets everybody dirty.Same reason why republicans keep jerking themselves off about policing the border and vaccine deaths but can't be bothered to do anything about it. They profit from the same corruption democrats do.The only time republicans and democrats really fight each other is when one side is pissing into the corrupt money-making schemes of the opposite side, like they did with Hunter and Ukraine. Because Biden's retardation was opening him up to blackmail by a foreign power (which Israel already does enough of).Incidentally, if both democrats and republicans agree on something near-unanimously, that's when you need to be concerned.
>>1368201Well republicans only found one skeleton, and that was Hunter Biden, and he wasn't even part of the administration or any part of government so it's pretty meaningless.
>>1368200>>1368201...so why didn't they actually charge him for Burisma then? Two straight years of committee meetings and they find nothing, now you have the guy who first suggested it admitting he made it the fuck up.
>>1368177Right wingers are faggots who can't stop lying. It is what it is
Why would he need to admit that he lied about the Biden's in order to get a plea deal for tax evasion?Political prosecution is literally the only reasonable conclusion.
>>1368170Wait, his plea agreement for unrelated tax charges was to publicly state that Joe Biden did nothing wrong?How odd
The right is more willing to exaggerate and outright lie to score points. MSNBC CNN 70% BS, FOX NEWS MAX, 95% BS
>>1368192damn, guess Biden was mistaken when he pardoned Hunter for crimes dating back to 2014, must've been a typo. did nothing wrong though
>>1368177Government plea deals... confess to something you didn't do, to not be executed/life in prison
>>1368170I don't need any evidence to know all biden's family must be hanged.
>>1368200You should stop reinforcing your own mental illnesses.
>>1368200Man you're a gullible faggot
>>1368244score points with who?
>>1368170Drumpettes will ignore this even after they screeched about it for years
