    Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?

    He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.

    And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.

    Smirnov had falsely told the FBI in 2020 that Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, was illicitly paying off Joe Biden while he was vice president, and his son Hunter, who was on the company’s board

    I’m sure an apology from the republicans will be forthcoming.

      Except that Hunter Biden wasn’t convicted/pardoned for anything related to this.

      Jurors found Hunter Biden guilty of lying to a federally licensed gun dealer, making a false claim on the application by saying he was not a drug user and illegally having the gun for 11 days.

      After the pardon, on Fox news:

      “I only plead guilty to save myself and my poor innocent children that the Demonrats held hostage in the basement of the white house. It’s really all true, now that Our Lord and Savior King God Emperor Trump saved me I can resume telling the Real Truth!©®”
