First, he targeted Rudy Giuliani, then Jim Jordan, and after that, it was James Comer. Did #TrumpPutin target many useful idiots?

How Far Will Republicans Go To Bring America Down on Behalf of Donald Trump? Another question that begs to be answered is which Republicans can be made useful to Russia wittingly or unwittingly -- the "useful idiots" who put Trump first, and America last and are willing to spread Russian disinformation. The question remains: can these Republicans be held accountable for their cooperation with Russian intelligence to interfere with our elections?

The developing case involving Alexander Smirnov, who was recently outlined in new Department of Justice filings, sheds light on allegations of providing false information regarding bribes purportedly paid to the Bidens via the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. Here are the key points from the case:

  1. Accusations and Charges: Smirnov, aged 43, faces charges of lying to the FBI regarding claims of bribes involving the Bidens and Burisma. These allegations were part of efforts by Republicans to impeach President Biden.

  2. Arrest and Legal Proceedings: Smirnov was arrested in Las Vegas, Nevada, upon his return from an overseas flight. Prosecutors sought to detain him without bail due to concerns about his ties to Russian intelligence agencies. However, US Magistrate Judge Daniel Albregts allowed him to be released from custody, with GPS monitoring and restrictions on travel and passport applications.

  3. Allegations of False Statements and Financial Misrepresentation: Prosecutors allege that Smirnov provided false information about his assets and financial resources. Despite claiming to have limited funds, he allegedly had access to significant liquid assets, raising concerns about his credibility.

  4. Intelligence Connections and Alleged Espionage Activities: Smirnov disclosed his contacts with Russian intelligence agencies to his FBI handler, suggesting he could use these connections to leave the US. Additionally, he allegedly attended a meeting with a high-ranking member of a Russian foreign intelligence service, where discussions about intercepted phone calls and potential "kompromat" for the 2024 election campaign took place.

  5. Charges by Special Counsel David Weiss: Smirnov was charged by Special Counsel David Weiss, who has overseen the investigation of Hunter Biden, with providing false derogatory information to the FBI about President Biden and his son in June 2020.

These five bullet points highlight the complex legal and political dynamics surrounding the allegations against Smirnov and their potential implications for ongoing investigations and public discourse.

Congressman Raskin calls out the Moscow Agents Governing America that knowingly pushed an impeachment, using propaganda from a KNOWN Russian agent! This is all you need to know about the Putin-controlled GOP, especially Trump. How can anyone with an IQ over 10 vote for a Republican ever again? Seriously. VOTE BLUE in every election across the nation to defeat the fascists within the GOP. VOTE BLUE!

13th sanctions package on the second anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine | DW News

Representatives of the 27 member states agreed to expand the list of persons and organizations whose assets held in the EU must be frozen. In addition, companies that contribute to Russia's military and technological strengthening to the development of its defense and security sector are to be sanctioned. The EU would then no longer be allowed to sell goods and technologies with military applications to them. Most recently, the EU also used this instrument to target companies based in China, Uzbekistan, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates, which are allegedly involved in circumventing EU sanctions.
