A federal judge in Las Vegas on Tuesday ordered the release of an FBI informant charged with lying to officials about an alleged multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company.

Alexander Smirnov, 43, who was arrested last week at Harry Reid International Airport, will remain under electronic monitoring while he awaits a hearing in California federal court on an indictment charging him with making a false statement to federal agents and creating a false and fictitious record.

In ordering Smirnov’s release, U.S. Magistrate Judge Daniel Albregts told him: “Do not make a mockery of me.”

Why, this is just awful! It means that the guards can't treat him like a J6 prisoner and beat him, torture him, deny him medical treatment, family visits, and attorney consultations. /s

The Biden DOJ is big mad that Smirnov has alleged that there was a "multimillion-dollar bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company."

So, when a Democrat President is alleged to have committed a crime, what does the DOJ do? Simple! ARREST THE ACCUSER!

Smirnov alleged a “multi-million-dollar bribery scheme
involving Joe Biden, his son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company.”

So, when a purebred beatified Democrat is alleged to have
committed a (yikes) “crime,” what does the Biden DOJ do?

Simple!

Biden orders the accuser be ARRESTED.

It’s a damned police state. It’s what police states do. Better a bullet to the back of the head than to be cast down into the Black Hole of DC.

And force him to recant or else go to the gulag, like the film maker Shrillary blamed for Benghazi.

One simply does not PROVOKE our dear leaders! Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote books about the consequences.

The Democrats dream of the gulag. If only they could pull it off.

He also wrote about what they ‘ought to have done’ when the round-ups were going on.

How is he supposed to hang himself in his cell if he is released?

Prosecutors say Smirnov, who holds dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship, falsely reported to the FBI in June 2020 that executives associated with the Ukrainian energy company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016.

This will undoubtedly make him a national hero to some here.

The guy has apparently said he received the information from Russian intelligence officials.

I wonder what his life expectancy is now.
I guess it would look too suspicious if he hung himself in jail.

I hope he can escape to Israel or Russia.

The jail he was being held in must have been too secure. Too many cameras that couldn’t be turned off, etc. So, they have to get him released so that he can be “dealt with” properly.
