The indictment that Biden Justice Department “special counsel” David Weiss brought against informant Alexander Smirnov — previously described by the FBI as “highly credible” and a useful source for several successful prosecutions over the last decade — is one of the more peculiar charging documents I’ve ever seen. (It can be downloaded at DOJ’s website, here.) Smirnov is charged with two counts of making false statements to the bureau — in essence, falsely claiming that he’d been told that President Biden and his son Hunter were bribed by a corrupt Ukrainian energy company.
There will be more to say. For now, I raise three points.
