    "What did #Republicans know and when did they know it?

    It’s the question that should be on the lips of every Democrat within spitting distance of a microphone, but predictably, infuriatingly, is not."

    In that parallel, other world (the one we sense must be out there, that feels so palpable at times), the #Smirnov revelations, combined with everything else we know, would be earth-shattering.

  18. #AlexanderSmirnov falsely reported in June 2020 that execs associated w/… #Burisma paid Hunter & Joe #Biden $5M each in 2015 or 2016, prosecutors said in an #indictment. Smirnov told the #FBI that an exec claimed to have hired #HunterBiden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems”
    Prosecutors say Smirnov in fact had only routine business dealings w/the co in 2017 &made the #bribery allegations after he “expressed #bias” against #JoeBiden while he was a presidential candidate.

  19. #DavidWeiss* charged FBI informant #AlexanderSmirnov w/ lying‬⁩ in 2020 re then-candidate #POTUS, son #HunterBiden & #Burisma. [*Same special prosecutor who’s charged HB w/tax/gun issues.] When did Weiss know Smirnov was lying? Wanna be fly on wall when Weiss explains himself. And when #FauxNews anchors whisper agreement in back halls to hide this from their duped viewers.
