Judge Slams Brakes on Biden Naysayer's Early Release Request
It's clear as day in Sin City - a federal judge ain't budging on letting that FBI snitch, Alexander Smirnov, loose from the clinker just yet. The judge, Otis Wright, flat-out denied the U.S. government's plea for Smirnov's release while he appeals his conviction.
Smirnov, a U.S.-Israeli double agent, has been slapped with a 72-month prison sentence for fabricating tales about Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, accepting bribes. This yarn became a central point in the Republicans' impeachment drive.
The recent request for Smirnov's freedom came from a fresh prosecutor assigned to his case, who joined forces with his defense attorneys, Chesnoff and Schonfeld. They claimed that the U.S. government would rehearse its argument for the case. But ole' Judge Wright ain't buying it. He cautioned that Smirnov's convict status and sentencing still makes him a risky flight risk.
Smirnov has been locked up since February 2024, following his nabbing at the Las Vegas airport upon his return from abroad. His shady scheme involved telling his FBI handler a tall tale about Burisma executives doling out $5 million each to the Bidens in 2015. However, probe-dogs later discovered that Smirnov hadn't business dealings with Burisma until 2017 - post Biden's VP term.
All this bunkum caused quite the commotion in Congress when it was rehashed during the House impeachment inquiry into Biden. The Bidenite administration rightly dismissed the whole shebang as a manufactured stunt.
Smirnov's not the only one facing heat in this mess. Remember Hunter Biden, Joe's kid? Weiss, the former Justice Department special counsel, levied gun and tax charges against him. His conviction was set in stone for December, but Pop Biden stepped in with a pardon, claiming that "political shenanigans have tainted this court case, and it has led to a travesty of justice."
