I think DoJ needs to initiate a criminal investigation or appoint a Special Prosecutor to look into the GOP's actions.

Oh, yeah. That would go over really well.
More weaponization of the government. The Biden administration is getting quite the rep.

There is plenty more evidence that we have a president who is compromised.

Really? Where? Because the main piece of evidence that the MAGAs have relied on since 2018 just went *poooof*

Oh my god do you ever have it ass over teakettle in your head. The REAL weaponization of the government is the Congressional GOP witch hunt and constant false accusations, subpoenas, threats et cetera. They are completely out of control.

Comer is not taking responsibility for his unfounded charges against the Bidens. Instead, he's blaming the FBI.

From the NYT:

Mr. Comer, in a statement released after the charges against Mr. Smirnov became public, took no responsibility for spreading a claim that prosecutors suggested was a smear intended to hurt Mr. Biden politically.

Instead, he blamed bureau officials for privately telling the committee their “source was credible and trusted, had worked with the F.B.I. for over a decade and had been paid six figures.”

But F.B.I. officials did not seem to think much of Mr. Smirnov’s allegations from the start, and requested he provide travel receipts to prove he attended meetings cited in his report. In 2020, they concluded that his claims did not merit continued investigation, and told senior Trump administration officials in the Justice Department of that decision, prosecutors wrote.

I guess the republicans still want to continue their bizarre hearings against Biden despite this?

The same bureau officials who answered to Giuliani.

“Go ahead... Try to discredit these whistleblowers. As you do, we see that you are a hyper-partisan who simply does not want to admit that we have a president who has lied repeatedly, could well be compromised, has a son who has committed some pretty serious crimes, and a DOJ who is giving him favorable treatment.
Merrick Garland has some "splaining to do.”

Turns out it was all made up. I wonder if this pp will come back and do “some ‘splaining” of their own.

this has the potential to get really bad for Bill Barr.

Probably because he didn’t lie to the FBI.

Smirnov literally made shit up and passed on fake info with the expressed intent of creating the Biden smear. he was finishing the job started by Manafort in 2016 and the entire GOP lined up behind it, most particularly Giuliani and Bill Barr and on down from there.

So maybe the GOP ought not consider the russians our friends and maybe they should be funding the Ukrainians, rather than standing with Putin.

Why was the FBI paying this guy six figures? Sounds like something Mr. Comer's committee should be investigating.

Considering it was the Trump FBI acting under the direction of Barr, I’m pretty sure comer doesn’t want to start turning over those rocks.
