Smirnov admitted that Russian intelligence officials were
involved in concocting the disinformation he gave the FBI.
Congress was warned that the Smirnov story may not be credible.
We need to know precisely when members were warned,
who provided that warning and why some GOP members decided to press on anyway.
Comer claims that Smirnov’s alleged false reporting wasn’t that important to his case,
and Jordan says nothing has really changed about the fundamental facts of alleged wrongdoing.
It seems to not matter to them that their star witness has
confessed to being a mouthpiece for Russian intelligence.
If Trump sycophants like Grassley, Comer and Jordan continue down this now-discredited track toward
a bogus impeachment, then they will have taken the baton from Smirnov and joined Team Russia.
