• Republican Representative Ken Buck criticized colleagues Jordan and Comer for pushing a narrative based on uncorroborated claims by witness Alexander Smirnov.
• Buck revealed that warnings about Smirnov’s credibility were given before the narrative was promoted.
• He emphasized the lack of a credible link between Hunter Biden’s activities and Joe Biden’s involvement.
• Buck, drawing on his experience as a prosecutor, highlighted the importance of evidence before making public statements.
• The GOP impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden collapsed after Smirnov, its main witness, was indicted for lying to the FBI.
• Smirnov reportedly confessed to Russian intelligence involvement in the smear campaign against Biden.
• Despite this setback, Republicans, including Jordan, are still trying to revive the probe, insisting that Smirnov’s indictment doesn’t alter the “fundamental facts.”
