FBI informant who lied about Biden 'bribes' pleads guilty
Alexander Smirnov will likely spend four to six years in prison for making up a story which sparked impeachment hearings.
His claims became the basis of an impeachment investigation in Congress which centred around the false claims that the Bidens made millions in bribes from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.
But Smirnov admitted he made the story up, and pleaded guilty in Los Angeles on Monday as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
Smirnov, a dual US-Israeli citizen, had been an FBI informant for more than a decade when he made the allegations about the Bidens in June 2020, saying that Joe and Hunter Biden each received $5m from the energy company.

Surprised? Not at all.. Republicans are basically a criminal enterprise masking as a political party at this point. They will lie, cheat, steal and murder their way to power any way they can.
