The Thursday indictment of an FBI source by the U.S. Department of Justice who provided House Republicans with information used as part of an ongoing impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden not only means that impeachment is now off the table, but it also signals that Republicans are “circling the drain” as the 2024 election draws closer, according to former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner.
Kirschner was a guest on MSNBC Friday morning, and he labeled House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) and his cohorts in the GOP as “irretrievably incompetent.”
Alexander Smirnov was hit with two counts of allegedly giving the FBI false information about the president and his son, Hunter Biden, during the 2020 presidential campaign, which led Kirschner to note, “Any time you’re dealing with a source, the three most important words are corroboration, corroboration, and corroboration. The fact that the Republicans would rely on somebody like this, who has now been criminally indicted for providing false information about Hunter Biden and potentially, by extension, President Biden, the fact that Republican members of Congress would rely on this raises the question, you know, are they sort of irretrievably incompetent, or do they just turn a blind eye to the credibility of the evidence that they’re using in what is one of the most consequential moves: an impeachment hearing against a president of the United States.”
Kirschner added, “You know, it just shows that the Republican Party, or at least certain factions, continue to circle the drain. You have to wonder, is there anybody in the Republican Party that’s willing to do the hard work of pulling them out from this nosedive?”
“This is beyond embarrassing, it is just not governance. It is, you know, inexcusable”
The Republican Party cannot govern. They’re too busy trying to create smokescreens in a desperate attempt to distract from the 91 felony counts their likely presidential nominee, Donald Trump, is facing. And now their subservience to the Donald is coming back to bite them squarely on the ass.
