WOW, 'a former FBI agent'? As though making that false claim provides an aura of credibility, softens his lies? Former FBI INFORMANT. Important distinction, right?

The special counsel investigating Hunter Biden has charged a former F.B.I. informant with fabricating claims that President Biden and his son each sought $5 million bribes from a Ukrainian company — a stinging setback for Republicans who cited the allegations in their push to impeach the president.

Again, you leave out all of those Republicans who kept pushing that narrative for years, once again the republicans were wrong on everything. They were told over and over again that they were wrong, but Fox News needed something to push against Biden, and republicans run with it, like they run with all of their false stories, it is what the republicans are, a bunch of made-up bullshit, like you.

So a former FBI Agent who provide some of this information ended up to not be a good source of information

A real investigator double checks his sources to make sure what he's being told is truthful. Or didn't you know that?

And all FBI agents aren't good guys either. Or didn't you know that?

that's wrong... they knew years ago and just pushed the envelope. All a giant pile of lies to discredit a political opponent. It wasn't an FBI agent either. It was an informant that they all interviewed. If there is real justice in this country, the fallout is going to be very big.

On the day that Bill Barr aggressively intervened in the parallel impeachment inquiry and Hunter Biden prosecutions last summer, David Weiss’ office sent out a final deal that would resolve Hunter’s case with no jail time and no further investigation. Within weeks, amid an uproar about claims in an FD-1023 that David Weiss now says were false, Weiss reneged on that deal. With the indictment yesterday of Alexander Smirnov, the source of those false claims, Weiss confesses he is a direct witness in an attempt to frame Joe Biden, even as he attempts to bury it.

livefree_ordie, You have no idea how long Comer had known that Smirnov had lied. You mentioned
it so it must be important. Just another reason for an investigation into Comer's handling of his role.
