Jordan Clarifies: Indicted FBI Informant Does Not Alter ‘Fundamental Facts’ About Bidens

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan dismissed Democrat claims that an FBI informant recently indicted by the Justice Department and who provided a lot of information on the Biden family’s allegedly illicit business dealings should be considered discredited.

The indictment of Alexander Smirnov and his allegations of having contacts with Russian intelligence officials, according to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), do not “change the four fundamental facts” linking Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian gas company that hired Hunter Biden for several years as a board member, and Joe Biden’s pressure on Ukrainian authorities to remove Viktor Shokin, the nation’s top prosecutor, during the elder Biden’s vice presidential term.

The impeachment investigation “essentially ended… with the explosive revelation that Mr. Smirnov’s allegations about Ukrainian Burisma payments to Joe Biden were concocted along with Russian intelligence agents,” according to top Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) on Tuesday.

But during a back-and-forth with CNN’s Manu Raju, Jordan disputed that, aguing that “fact number one” is that Hunter Biden was “put on the board of Burisma and gets paid a million dollars a year.” Another reality, Jordan said, is that “he’s not qualified to be on the board. He said so himself in an interview.”

Jordan said the third fact concerned executives at Burisma, asking Hunter Biden, “Can you weigh in with D.C. and help us deal with the pressure we are facing from the prosecutor?”

The Ohio Republican then referred to former Hunter business partner Devon Archer’s previous testimony on the subject; Archer served on the same board with Hunter.

“Fact number four: Joe Biden then goes to Ukraine” days after a call was made and “conditions the release of… American tax money on the firing of the prosecutor who was applying the pressure” to Burisma, Jordan added.

Raju went on to press Jordan about an earlier claim that the “most corroborating” evidence that Republican investigators found in the GOP-led House’s ongoing impeachment investigation was an FBI-generated FB-1023 form that contained allegations Smirnov made about Burisma executives paying a $5 million bribe to the Bidens.

“It corroborates, but it doesn’t change those fundamental facts,” Jordan responded.
