Arrest and prosecution former FBI informant announced by the American judiciary. The arrested person allegedly fabricated charges for corruption of President Joe Biden’s son, the Hunter Bidenwhich the right seeks to exploit to impeach and impeach the Democratic occupant of the White House.
THE Alexander Smirnoffthe former whistleblower, 43, was arrested Thursday in Las Vegas, according to a statement from the special counsel investigating the Hunter Biden case.
He allegedly lied when he accused them Joe and the Hunter Biden how they each received five million dollars as a bribe to help a Ukrainian gas company, Burisma, escape prosecution.
If found guilty, he is treated as even 25 years imprisonment.
Republicans accuse Joe Biden of using his influence as Barack Obama’s vice president (2009-2017) to facilitate his son Hunter’s transactions of dubious legality in Ukraine and China.
What Mr. Smirnoff had said was leaked to the press by Republicans and helped fuel the atmosphere of suspicion. But the story he told was completely fabricated, according to the indictment.
What did the research show?
According to the research, the information given by Mr. Smirnov are problematic from the point of view of dates. The 2020the whistleblower told an FBI agent that he met with Burisma officials “in 2015 and/or 2016,” that is, during the days of Barack Obama as president and Joe Biden as vice president.
Members of the Ukrainian company, he claimed, had confided in him at the time that they named Hunter Biden to its board of directors to “protect themselves, through his father, from all kinds of problems.” For this they “paid 5 million dollars” each.
This scenario seemed consistent with the removal (in 2016) of the Ukrainian prosecutor general, who was investigating Burisma. A decision behind which the Republicans saw the hand of Mr. Biden.
But the investigation showed that Mr. Smirnov did not develop relations with Burisma until 2017, after Donald Trump had taken office. At the time, Joe Biden “had no way to influence American politics,” according to the indictment.
The whistleblower turned “routine contacts” with Burisma officials “in 2017 (…) into allegations of corruption” against President Biden, the document continued. And he waited until 2020 to do it, since the current president was now “a candidate of one of the two major parties” for the presidency.
After the prosecution of the FBI whistleblower became known, Democratic Rep Jamie Ruskin called for an end to the investigation against the president. James Comer, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, rejected that, assuring CNN that the investigation is not based on Alexander Smirnov’s allegations.
