What a Country!

The gentleman at the center of the picture below is Alexander Smirnov, a vital informant in the impeachment case against President Biden and his business connections to his surviving son, leaving the federal courthouse on an uncharacteristically rainy day in Los Angeles.  And no, he is not shielding his face because of the rain, and his two companions, it would appear, do not have COVID.  

So let's get a few things straight.  Hunter Biden is not the sort of fellow a woman would want to take home to Mother, unless of course her mother is Wilma McClatchie.  You wouldn't want Hunter Biden to teach a course in business ethics any more than you'd want Alina Habba to teach law.  And, he's a bad painter. But while Democrats have insisted that he and his father have no business ties with each other, the impeachment inquiry authorized by the Republican House of Representatives has produced little a bit of evidence to suggest otherwise, like Smirnov's damning testimony.  And that's why he appeared in court in LA recently.

Except for one thing: He appeared in court because he was arrested (and freed and arrested again) for providing the inquiry committee members with information that is totally fake!  

Made up.  Fictitious.  A story less credible than the legend of Atlantis.  Smirnov, an Israeli national, is an agent for the Russian government who was trying to make enough mischief to embarrass the Bidens.  All he did was embarrass . . . well, I was going to say the Republicans, but that isn't true, as the two rhymes-with-glass-pole House committee chairmen named Jim - Oversight Committee chairman Comer of Kentucky and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jordan of Ohio - weren't embarrassed at all.  In fact, they doubled down on their accusations against the Bidens, saying that Smirnov's lies don't change the underlying basis of the need for the inquiry.

Except for one thing: Smirnov's lies are the underlying basis of the need for the inquiry.

Comer and Jordan plan to continue to push for impeaching President Biden, convinced that the mere appearance of a business connection between him and his son Hunter requires an impeachment inquiry as long as special prosecutor David Weiss continues his investigation of Hunter.

Except for one thing: David Weiss was the one who had Smirnov arrested.   

What a country!
