Ex GOP bombshell witness in the Hunter Biden case gets sentenced to 6 years for lying.
His argument for a reduced sentence is fun:
In seeking a lighter sentence, Smirnov’s lawyers wrote in court papers that both Hunter Biden and President-elect Trump “have walked free and clear of any meaningful punishment.”
This case still smells. I haven’t seen any reporting on why he would invent lies about Hunter Biden from whole cloth. He just woke up one day and decided, I don’t like Hunter/Joe so I’m going to commit felonies?
There’s more to the story that I’m not seeing.
According to his wiki he was an informant for the FBI, other US intelligence agencies, Israel, and likely Russia. Somehow he made millions of dollars according to tax charges brought against him. There’s certainly more to the story than just the Biden falsehoods. This guy is likely both dirty and plugged in. I’m sort of surprised he’s going to prison this long, as he probably has some tea to spill.
I’m curious if the lies were specifically a result of Russian influence, from Trump/his campaign, or a different related source?
Assuming every lie is an admission, I’m guessing Eric or Jr have some shit on their laptops.
Maybe even Barron!!
30 stab wounds to the back. Worst case of suicide I ever saw.
IIRC this article was more at the start of the affair. What was shocking was after the key witness got found out in March the GOP continued a baseless impeachment investigation for the rest of the year.
shocking?
