- In a new filing, prosecutors say the indicted GOP “informant” Alexander Smirnov claimed to have “extensive and extremely recent” contacts with foreign intelligence agencies.

#HunterBiden #Russia #Republicans
Knowingly helping Russian assets to undermine your country is called TREASON!
Exactly, DOJ needs to aggressively follow these lines to their ends and have the stomach to hold all guilty parties accountable. If Garland cant cut it step aside for someone who will. At this point its criminal not to be doing ones job to the fullest.
Why is the DOJ always shutting down investigations over Biden and his sons and always looking to prosecute Trump?
like hillary and the dossier.
Which is why should have been prohibited for running years ago with his “Hey, Russia if you’re listening!”
*TRE45ON*
It sure is weird how so many people on the GOP team turns out with Russians ties. It’s almost like they’re working together.
D'ya think?
Isn't though.....
They ARE working together. Trump’s classified documents is just the tip of the iceberg. Trump probably has given Putin all kinds of Information about nuclear weapons and the best places to destroy Ukraine’s cities. He thinks that Putin is going to find a way to help him become president again.
Like hunters relationship with Ukraine?
@@ChristopherNagg Well done bot. On a video showing the accusations about Biden and Ukraine are lies you keep the lie going.
Aiding and abetting your country's enemies is called Treason.
The new spelling is TRE45ON.
It's called democracy comrade.
@@toonlyricsYeah that's a good idea. Keep talking about trump. It seems to be working.
Leaving your country's border wide open and allowing people in unchecked is also Treason. Throw Biden in jail.
TRE45ON
Comer gave Smirnov privileged information... isn't that worthy a prison sentence too ?
He did?!?
Comer then should do prison time too
COMER goona pay $$$$$$$ to hunter biden like U GENE CAROOL ha ha facts
@@thomassabia5750 1st comer needs to pay his DEFAMATION money ha
Surely Comer must be part of the gang of spies, just like your speaker and many others in the GOP.
When are these traitors going to be brought to justice?
Never! This is AMERIKKKA! What do you expect?
Never, if you are expecting the US to do anything.
I suspect it will be the 12th of Never.
Perhaps Rep.Comer should be the beneficiary of an investigation into himself.
Comer has been involved with his brother is some suspect land purchase deals
@@beadsy-dl5upand his shell companies. And if any legislation he wrote up or passed helped any family members connected to those shell companies. I think one of the democrats put into record that Comer had shell companies and loans to family members.
@@pwilliam255and didn't he halt a bunch of investigations into Trump and family?
I think COMER needs to be in Jail!! Along with Jim Jordan and M.T.G. f.d t.
True, how could they possibly have suspected someone named "Smirnov" as a source could be problematic 😂
@@rossr6616
Maybe they thought he came from (vodka) money he could give Trump. 😉
Absolutely impeachable offense treason
Why isn't fox News not telling its viewers?
Exactly, they just throw accusations left and right making up stories then when fact checked and cornered instantly use the "I'm the victim" card
While it is tempting to laugh at Comer's naivety, in fact his easy manipulation by Russian Intelligence is a serious danger to the USA.
Almost sounds like you're downplaying something more nefarious by calling it stupidity, it's much worse.
The nerve of Comer to say people are spreading misinformation about him. Spreading misinformation is what he and MAGAs do best.
They are such the complicity front for Trump. The coup is on-going.
Every accusation is a confession.
Biden should go after them for election interference and defamation and see if any of the GOP has contacts with any Russian infortmants
Fox News has an obligation to tell its viewers about this
Yaaaaaaaaaaaawn. 🙄
Wise up Republicans you are putting us all at danger. Put James Comer in jail with him.
They know, they don't care.
Fox News viewers don't know about Comers LIES
They only care that they would be on the "winning" side 🤬
Why is the DOJ always shutting down investigations over Biden and his sons and always looking to prosecute Trump?
the sociopath caucus doesn't care about YOU....
Mike Johnson has blood on his hands. He and the GOP need to called out by the media constantly.
Don't they already? Problem is that they are also talking about Joe's and the democrats failures.
The GOP is nothing but a Putin Asset
The ultra maga cult has blood and $hit on their hands.
@@bethanyhealy4989
What failures?
Vote for old ppl or Traitors? I’ll pick old ppl every time.
Hunter needs to sue Comer and Fox News for defamation with a $150 million penalty/settlement against them. Go Hunter.
That would go over so well especially when they ask for discovery on the Biden family. Let’s do it 😊
Id go for $500 million if possible 😂 They've done him so dirty
Yes, please sue them, Hunter. Make them pay for what they did to you, especially MTG.
I'd say, Go after MTG, too!
Money doesn't mean anything to an 80 year old unless you're Donald Trump. You totally don't know the Biden's. Bring the discovery on. Sue for $150. Both FOX and Comer knew it was false information and it's going to come out....yes.....in discovery of cell phone records and emails. BAM!@@MrMatt531
Since when do we expect anyone in the GOP to tell the truth anymore, much less about Russia and Putin?
absolutely, comrade! chinese, north koreans, russians and iranians stand together with you! stop this unpredictable orange devil! elect our beloved imbecile biden!
Seems they are one and the same.
@Ritapita73 Do you live in CHINA ??? Do you even speak or understand english ??? The Republicans through many months of listening too FBI and IRS
Whistleblowers have discovered enough cover up CORRUPTION to put the entire DEMOCRAP PARTY IN PRISON FOR LIFE !!!!
Crapped out liars rump and the whole lot of them. So sickening.
You watch too much MSNBC . You're brainwashed!
Comer's part in this scheme needs to be investigated... he sounds compromised. How many Russian assets are there in the GQP ?
A bunch
Reporters need to start asking republicans why they’re working for Americas enemies.
YES!! OUTWARDLY AND OPENLY ASKING that on air!
You have the facts wrong because of your bubble
@@ChristopherNaggwhat are the facts ?
Reporters need to ask the same questions to democrats.
Because Trump tells them to and they have no spine.
Can we please sue Fox for another 3/4 of a BILLION dollars?
Lol
Funny that the party that screeches endlessly about communism, Marxism, socialism and Stalinism openly embraces and wants to follow the examples set by a former KGB agent who's nostalgic for the Soviet Union.
Ironic, isn't it?
Why is the DOJ always shutting down investigations over Biden and his sons and always looking to prosecute Trump?
not hard to figure out at all. after all, Putin runs Russia like they wish they could run America.
Don’t you know that Putin probably has so much info on Trump that if he disclosed it, the magas would then and only then perceive Russia as the enemy.
Bingo! You nailed it!
Never in my lifetime has the US and Russia been friends.
They were kind of friendly during Yeltsin.
OK well there was a cute movie about a Russian submarine that got stranded here once ,but I think you are probably right .
I'm starting to wonder if the GOP have any ties whatsoever with the USA.
just their churchs' bank accounts.
Hahaha I laughed so hard. Thank you for this one
This comment wins a trophy!🏆😂
Right? I truly can’t understand how anyone would vote for them😔
Only in name only. This is not Lincoln's, Grant's, or Reagan's Party anymore. Not even the same organization.
The right is truly falling apart before our eyes. It’s stunning.
They're not falling apart, the camouflage is falling off...
Stunning in how it’s going down, and not necessarily that it is going down.. Trump is an albatross around the GOP’s neck..
They’re not falling apart. They’re UNITED under a moronic criminal.
Totally unbelievable. But they did it to themselves. When you don't care about people, that's always gonna be your downfall. Thats😢why STINKY TRAITOR TRUMP is in the position he is in. He only cares about himself. How's that working for him? And he's going to lose again. That's right I said it last time, and I'm gonna say it again, he's going to lose again.
They've been falling apart since reagan
All the GOP's need to be voted out of tye office. A bunch of crooks
Good story. Please pursue this and keep on it. I really believe Russia caused all of this. They have taken credit for it. Believe them.
Lev Parnas said the entire Hunter scandal was a Russian operation.
That nose
Without Putin's meddling, I don't think "maga" would ever have existed.
The GOP entertained someone they must have suspected of telling lies. This does NOT give them a "get out of jail free" card. This is CONTINUED GOP / Russia collusion that enabled Trump to win in the first place. Add this to the list of crimes already.
Yes, but they did most of it with full cooperation of Trump and many congress members going back to at least 2010.
Republicans in the 80's: Gorbachev, tear down that wall!
Republicans in the 2020's: Putin, tear down the USA!
It's wild to see how far Ratpublicans have fallen. Not surprising tho.
It really is. The Republican Party has jumped the shark.
Muh Russia 2.0
GOP now stands for Good Old Putin. What the H is happening to American politics
You already called it. Putin! Autocratic takeover of one of the most trusted and wealthiest countries in the world. Just think of the fun Putin and Xi and Kim will have dividing up what's left of this country and sending all of the old inhabitants begging Mexico to let us in, blocked off by a wall we built to keep them out! Thanks Republicans!
Nice one! Imma gonna steal it!
Trump and Putin are working together…..it’s so obvious it’s not hard to see.
absolutely, comrade! chinese, north koreans, russians and iranians stand together with you! stop this unpredictable orange devil! elect our beloved imbecile biden!
Yep. And right wing media in the U.S. once again are smearing American citizens. Hunter is a private citizen.
Weird though how Crimea was invaded under 44 and Ukraine was invaded under 46.🤔 TDS comments incoming in 3...2...1
@@Jamski101 No. It isn't.
No Shizzle! Some of us have been saying that for years.
I hope Hunter sues Comer and his goons for defamation.
I am honestly surprised he hasn't already.
And this clown is out on bail why?
This guy, Putin, Trump & and GOP, are all working together.
No. Trump fired Flynn for working with Russia. You don't get it. Get out of your bubble. Your brain is mush
"Russia is the greatest country. They have USB chargers and Unicorn cereal."

And trolley escalators in a supermarket. Guess Tucker just gets stuff delivered.
@@lindaj5492 OMG! Tucker had obviously never been to any two story Dept store in America ever! And Fresh bread ? San Francisco beats the entire world for the best fresh bread! And it's everywhere there!
So, sounds like standard operating procedure for the Russpublican Party.
Comer, and the entire Repub. Judiciary Community owes President Biden and the American people an apology.
...and a resignation...
And a refund of all the taxpayer money they've wasted.
@HeadacheMachine and Trump needs to concede and get off the airway for fuxk sake. Show the base true character to follow a man who loves Putin, bro love same mentality...speaks volumes 🤔
An apology?… Gomer gaetz, Jordan should all have been indicted by now
Lol yeah all the evidence just now goes away...shell accounts, shady payments, meetings, diamonds, etc
The GOP Bottom Feeders.
So.........all of them?
@@davidmccarthy6061 what do You think! or who is your Favorite.
Why is the DOJ always shutting down investigations over Biden and his sons and always looking to prosecute Trump?
The GOP are ALL bottom feeders
Deplorable. 💙
How utterly predictable
The big question is. Did James Comer know about any of this and was willing to look the other way because he was so desperate for anything on Biden.
Agree. Hard to find out. But you are right.
@@Anden1 Not really. Subpoena his phone, computer and correspondence. Start analyzing contact dates and times. Travel history. Most of these schemes are so huge it is hard to eliminate everything that could be seen as evidence. Even the pattern and behavior of Comer and a lot of the GOP could be see as a pattern of behavior. Circumstances our courts have used against the citizens for decades.
I would be willing to bet $1000.01 that he knew ge was a fuqibg russian spy😂😂😂
Of course he knew. He sought it out.
His best defense is that he doesn't have two brain cells to rub together. But @ygrittesnow1701 is right, he needs to be investigated.
Putin is so grateful that he sent both Trump and Johnson (snicker) a jar of hummus:
it's made of Russian chick pea.
Or maybe "Is Potato" (Stephen Colbert if you don't get my reference)
😂😂😂
@@shaynewhite1😄😁🤣
Did you hear the one about phone spurs?
Putin supplying the Trumpies clan with caviar?
Who would ever guess that someone named Alexander Smirnov would be a Russian informant?
If Comer-shot were smart (he isn’t) he’d admit that he was duped by Smirnoff and other Russian assets. However, if he invariably continues to double down, he’s likely going to end up on the wrong side of a lawsuit and possibly an indictment.
The indictments of many Republicans should be going out as we speak. There are a fair number of traitors to this nation, and democracy itself, currently seated in the US House and Senate.
Go back and fight for your motherland. It's going so well over there
I'm here for it.
Hunter needs to SUE them!!!
Yes, that's what all the MSDNC interns are saying.
@@winstonsmith6607 And how would being interns make them wrong?
When they attack Hunter it makes me want to vote for Hunter more because when they attack Hunter they're attacking me and Hunter is just in their way
If they can show Hunter's d pics in Congress they can show yours.
@@dilbertdoe601 Lol 😂😂
Too bad Hunter isn't running for POTUS. 😂😂😂
@@24Wynn I will write his name on the ballot. Hunter 2024🇺🇸🇺🇸

That blew neatly up in the GOP's faces.

It will be interesting to see how long it is before it comes out that the Republicult doctored this whole debacle from the get go...
WOW- try to spin this GQP! 💩💩
They know their base will ignore what it chooses, they just have to keep scaring them.
They're impervious to facts.
A cell next to Donny?
The republican party went from Ronnie demanding, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" ...
to Donnie demanding, "Russia, if you are listening... you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press..."

US Laws §2381 through §2385 is all you need to prosecute this man and EVERY US CITIZEN who knew he was an agent and undermining the US and commiting Treason (assuming he is a US citizen). §2382 is especially relevant and useful in prosecuting and convicting any US Lawmaker that knew the truth and said nothing.
There is absolutely nothing surprising about this. A child could’ve connected these dots :)
What does it take to charge someone with treason in this country?!
So far most of the insurrectionists are free, including all the big shot planners and organizers in Congress.
It’s time for Ann Coulter to write a book called Actual Treason
This truly explains the need for a hurried congressional vacation. Oops! Gotta fly! Vote 💙💙💙💙💙!
I cannot BELIEVE he is out on bail!! If nothing else the Russians ( or Trump) will whack him!
Why did they let him go? He won't show up for his trial.
We should probably be concerned about our National Security regarding every single Republican. Thats one reason i won't be voting for ANY REPUBLICAN
Reporters need to start asking Comer and the ЯepubliꞰan members of Congress if they are registered Agents of a Foreign power, i.e. Russia!!!
O.M.G. He's probably handed over names already.
Isn't Shmucker still in Ruzzia? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
So who are his US links and contacts, top Republicans lawmaker, Trump, GOP operatives, that’s the question?
It's definitely a complex and evolving story! Regardless of the political landscape, it's essential to appreciate the efforts of those who seek the truth and strive for transparency. The unfolding of such stories reminds us of the importance of diligence and integrity in all aspects of public life. Let's stay informed and engaged, fostering a community that values accountability and constructive dialogue. Your interest in staying updated on current events is commendable!
This is absolutely unbelievable! 😢
It didn't surprise me at all. The early days of all of this included some red flags.
If Garland was doing his job, we would have known about this years ago.
Only a republican could make me root for Hunter Biden.
I think this goes back a bit further , Putin had a real fear of Hillary Clinton and her clear eyed view of who he was and what he was. She made several speeches about it in europe, in her role a secretary of state.
He will run. The damage is done. Nobody on the committee bothered to verify their source. That's rich.
Excellent piece.
As always, outstanding reporting Jen. Thank you! It's an honor and pleasure having you report this political news to us. You are a trusted and very credible source. Again, thank you, ma'am.
With a name like his I am not surprised. Treason=DEATH SENTENCE!
I know of some countries where traitors would be in prison already 😡. What a patience President Mr Biden 💙 has to have. Respect President Mr Biden 💙💙💙
It's the justice system who let the man go after confessing. Biden is the President, not the FBI.
Why can't they put a gag order or jail him. All this doesn't matter if he is free to continue to spread false statements/ conspiracy theories.
Putin murdered Navalny by force feeding him Swanson TV dinners.
Comer needs to be investigated
Wow, this really bad for Republicans.
Just makes me vote for Biden MORE!
Where is the application of any type of punishment - censure, removal from office, imprisonment? Just getting rid of George Santos was a challenge. What does that say? (I hope Jimmy Kimmel counter-sues the little weasel. Heh.)
There is no punishment for treason in the US. That’s why we have more and more destruction going on. Thanks Garland
That last bit - "...wittingly, or unwittingly, helping them." - in Comer's case, I think we can confidently say dimwittingly helping them.
They did it because they thought they could get away with it, because they have gotten away with insurrection.
I would put Comer-Pyle into the category of an unwitting ally of Putin. Or, in his case, half-wit.
Out in the open with what we could figure out a long time ago. Now let’s have some congressional hearings on Commer!!! That would be the right thing to do ( not political)
House Ethics is controlled by MAGA right now. They are only going after Democrats with the exception of Santos, who they could no longer ignore.
Excellent explanation of a very complex and evolving, disinformation campaign. All we can do is vote people like Mr. Comer out of office. Voting blue, up and down the ballot in Oregon! 💙💙💙 we all need to stand up for democracy and guard against disinformation.
No, traitors can be prosecuted and punished. That's why this keeps going on--nothing is ever done.
FFS his name was Smirnoff!
Good for him! He must be held accountable! Shame on him!!!!
I want to know if Comey and Jordan are complicit, or simply moronically unfit for service.
Your star witness Comer and Jordon is a Russian spy who lied. Now, shake Hunters hand and leave him alone.
Hunter, sue them all into bankruptcy.
The gop has gone full force Russian agents
Comer needs to look at Rudy,that’s how he will end up ,trump will throw him away also
Soooooo you mean after all these years and all this amazing evidence... there is no evidence? 😂😂😂
So....we are all just standing around watching the enemy taking us apart from the inside ? I mean what the ! :O(
This is soooo similar with everything Rachel found in her research, Ultra and Prequel! I can’t stop thinking about it!
RNC Headquarters should fly the flag of the Russian Federation. 🇷🇺
Lock him up!!!!!!
What's happening with the education system in all those fly-over states? If they elect these people to represent them, meaning that they think these are the best of their communities, then there is something seriously wrong with their schools and educators.
Weiss’ team argued in court Tuesday that Smirnov could use his foreign contacts, including those in Russia, to flee the country and resettle abroad out of reach from the US government. The judge pushed back on the prosecutors’ assertion, and sternly warned Smirnov while granting his release: “Do not make a mockery of me.” Hmmmm, obviously the Judge in this case is a very naive Judge. This is like telling a child not to lay with matches, so what does the child do as soon as you turn your back, plays with matches.....
Interesting. If Smirnov actually flees to Russia, can we stand outside the judge's courtroom and mock him?
@@eldorfthe_wise129 - I don't see how that would be productive. I think he would then realize that he made a bad judgement call though.
I despair of the justice system.
Truth always finds the LIGHT!
Time to sue fox again !!!
Not suprised it was BS.
Shame Impeachment ! Great Description.
And Comer is innocent of EVERYTHING! Wow! How does that work?
Where’s Bourne?
