The “most corroborating evidence” for impeaching President Joe Biden came from a highly credible, human source, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said in January. This week, a memo filed by the US Department of Justice claims that the source has “extensive foreign ties” with an all too familiar election meddler.
Veteran informant Alexander Smirnov claimed to be in touch with four different Russian intelligence officials as recently as December, two of which are “heads of the entities they represent.” Prosecutors say Smirnov aimed to spread misinformation and “lies that could impact US elections.”
After months of investigating, the House has been unable to uncover additional bombshell evidence against Biden. So, will a crack in the central argument driving the inquiry slow the impeachment efforts ahead of November’s election? Likely not. The president’s brother still had to testify yesterday, and his son is set to testify next week.
From the right: A House Judiciary Committee spokesperson says, “Nothing has changed. We have plenty of evidence that shows impeachable conduct.”
From the left: Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says, “I hope it will be the final chapter of this ludicrous wild goose chase.”
From GZERO: Smirnov should steer clear of open windows.
