New FBI bombshell 'eviscerates' GOP's Joe Biden impeachment effort: legal expert

Raw Story  

The case charging Hunter Biden with engaging in a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme suffered a massive blow after the informant central to the case and to the Republican impeachment inquiry in Congress — was slapped with allegations of lying to the FBI. "I think it eviscerates the impeachment effort," former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Elliot Williams said during an appearance on CNN. Alexander Smirnov stands accused of telling tall tales back in June 2020 involving Ukrainian energy company Burisma executives paying Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million apiece between 2015 or 2016, the federal prosecutors said. Smirnov in fact had only routine business dealings with the company and made the bribery allegations after he “expressed bias” against Joe Biden, prosecutors said in court documents. Also, Williams wonders what will become of the case now that it's lion share of evidence against Hunter Biden and his president father Joe Biden is severely undermined.
