My jaw literally dropped when I read the guy's name. Alexander Smirnov.
I'm sure he has no Russian ties. At all.

The informant, Alexander Smirnov, has been touted by Republicans for months as a credible source that shows the president and his son were directly involved in corruption schemes. Smirnov’s arrest and charges that he fabricated his claims about the Biden family’s business dealings significantly undercut Republican allegations that the president was improperly involved with his son’s business interests.
But Republicans downplayed Smirnov’s indictment on Thursday night. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., one of the Republicans leading the inquiry, said in a statement that the probe “is not reliant on the FBI’s FD-1023,” referring to the name of documents the FBI uses to document information from confidential human sources.
