'Backfired on them tremendously': GOP blamed for causing arrest of their key Biden witness

Raw Story  

Despite their attempts to find ammunition against President Joe Biden with their investigations into his business dealings, House Republicans' efforts have "backfired on them tremendously," namely with the arrest of ex-FBI informant Alexander Smirnov for making false claims about Biden and his son Hunter. "A former IRS official had claimed to the House that David Weiss, the U.S. Attorney for Delaware, had been rebuffed when he’d asked to be appointed as a special counsel to better pursue his criminal investigation of Hunter Biden." "Even though Weiss told them that wasn’t true, Republicans still howled that the Biden administration was trying to protect Hunter Biden. According to the indictment, Smirnov falsely claimed to FBI agents that executives at the Ukrainian industrial company Burisma told him they hired Hunter Biden to "protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems," at a time when Biden was vice president and bribed both of them for their efforts.
