Jim Jordan on Smirnov: Doesn’t Seem to Me the Same Standard Is Used for Him and Christopher Steele

BARTIROMO: “We — we discussed this FBI informant Smirnov and he’s been released from custody. Of course he was indicted for allegedly lying to investigators about the business, the five million each. The Department of Justice now is accusing Smirnov of having extensive ties to Russia intelligence. Hunter Biden’s lawyers are also claiming that Smirnov tainted Special Counsel David Weiss’ probe. They’re asking a judge to dismiss this tax case in California. Your thoughts?”
Jordan: “Well, we’ll see. I mean, I was surprised that — I don’t believe that David Weiss had even approached the FBI, looked at this — this issue with this confidential human source. I’m not sure he had done that until he’s named as special counsel. You know, they — they’ve had this investigation going for four and a half, five years. So we’ll have to see how that — that all shakes out. What I do know is, again, with Christopher Steele, who gives false information about President Trump to the FBI, he continues to get paid. With this Smirnov guy, he gives false information to the FBI about the Biden’s and he gets indicted. Doesn’t seem to me to be the — the same standard. But again, we’ll have to wait and see.”
