The indictment of former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov, accused of lying about business dealings involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, has ignited controversy. Smirnov has been ordered to be jailed pending trial with no bail release. Critics suggest the indictment might be politically motivated to protect Joe Biden, especially given that the Department of Justice previously considered an immunity deal for Hunter Biden. This situation raises questions about the motivations behind the indictment and the integrity of the investigation into the Biden family's activities.

The Smirnov indictment is highly irregular, and given that a few short months ago the same DOJ was going to give Hunter a sweetheart deal with immunity, can’t rule out the primary motive here is political protection for Joe Biden. https://t.co/eJG8L571p3
