Former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker provides analysis of the ruling in Trump’s civil fraud case and the latest news emerging from the GOP’s investigation into Hunter Biden.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (Rep-KY” has “Zero trust in the FBI, then former FBI assistant director Chris Swecker says the prosecution of Alexander Smirnov is “a political prosecution”
We need to get more transparency from the Department of Justice than they’ve been willing to give us to date. I think the Biden impeachment inquiry will have to rely on deciphering which arm of the DOJ was accurately assessing the travel records of Alexander Smirnov. When foreign governments are loading up Hunter Biden, Frank Biden, and James Biden with cash, they’re doing it to influence Joe Biden. – Matt Gaetz
The reason I know Smirnov is a damaging witness to the Biden family is because Biden’s DOJ is keeping him locked up pending trial even though he volunteered for around the clock surveillance. They won’t let him out before the 2024 election. Because they need to make sure he doesn’t talk. – Insurrection Barbie
- CNN analyst claims Alexander Smirnov’s arrest discredits GOP impeachment efforts against Biden:
- Elliot Williams, CNN legal analyst, argues that the GOP’s case against President Biden is “completely discredited” following Smirnov’s arrest for allegedly lying to the FBI.
- Williams suggests that any evidence linking Biden to wrongdoing was already weak, and Smirnov’s discredited testimony further undermines the impeachment efforts.
- Critics challenge CNN’s interpretation, highlighting ongoing concerns:
- U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley credits himself for prompting the FBI to investigate Smirnov’s claims, which led to the arrest.
- Grassley released an FBI document last year with unconfirmed allegations from Smirnov about a bribe from Burisma to the Bidens.
- Smirnov, indicted for making false statements to the FBI, faces potential prison time if convicted.
- Judicial actions and Smirnov’s defense:
- A federal judge ordered Smirnov jailed pending trial due to flight risk concerns.
- Smirnov’s legal team argues for his strong ties to the U.S. and intention to defend against the allegations.
- Despite no prior criminal history, the judge deemed Smirnov’s case exceptional and ordered him to remain in custody until trial.
