The cast of characters Republicans have sought out to substantiate President Biden’s purported corruption over the years has come to include half a dozen convicted and accused criminals, as well as multiple people the U.S. government has linked to Russia, corruption and subverting American democracy.
The most recent example is Alexander Smirnov, whom the government said last week had invented the claim that Biden and his son Hunter took $5 million bribes. That allegation was promoted far and wide by Republicans, many of whom treated it as fact.
The government then said this week that Smirnov has extensive ties to Russian intelligence, raising the possibility that such claims were Russian-seeded disinformation.
Kremlin apparatchiks must be laughing their asses off that they easily duped hyperpartisan Republicans into buying fabricated bribery stories manufactured by Russian spies.
