“On February 14, 2024, Special Counsel David Weiss indicted Alexander Smirnov – a longtime confidential human source (CHS) for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) – on allegations of making false statements to federal authorities. Prior to the indictment, the FBI allowed Mr. Smirnov to serve as a CHS for over 14 years and earn a six-figure income, while maintaining ‘extensive and extremely recent’ foreign intelligence contacts. Until very recently, the FBI held Mr Smirnov out as a ‘highly credible’ source whose outing could endanger national security. Only after Mr Smirnov reported that President Joe Biden accepted a bribe from a Ukrainian energy company in exchange for using his official position to oust the Ukrainian Prosecutor General did the FBI apparently take a hard look at this CHS. The Judiciary Committee has been examining the FBI’s CHS program in the wake of recent high-profile blunders, but this new information raises even greater concerns about abuse and mismanagement in the FBI’s CHS program,” writes spandex-wearing grapple freak Jim Jordan and his dumbass yokel buddy James Comer in a letter to FBI Director Chris Wray.
