Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) tried to continue lying about Hunter Biden and was brutally fact-checked to his face by a CNN correspondent who reminded him that he was lying.
Just last week, Jordan’s top “whistleblower,” Alexander Smirnov, was arrested and charged with lying to the FBI after he admitted that he had indeed given Republican lawmakers information that came directly from Russian intelligence.
But despite those damning facts, Jordan told CNN’s Manu Raju he still had enough evidence to impeach President Joe Biden.
“It doesn’t change the four fundamental facts,” Jordan insisted. “Hunter Biden was put on the board of Burisma, gets paid $1 million a year. Fact No. 2, he’s not qualified to be on the board — he said so himself in an interview, I don’t know, with you or some network. Fact No. 3, [Mykola] Zlochevsky and [Vadym] Pozharsky, the two executives at Burisma, specifically asked Hunter Biden, ‘Can you weigh in with D.C. and help us deal with the pressure we are facing from the prosecutor?’ Fact No. 4, Joe Biden, then he gets called, Hunter Biden calls his dad, according to Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s business partner. Joe Biden then goes to Ukraine three days later and conditions the release of the money, American tax money, on the firing of the prosecutor who was applying the pressure to the company that Hunter Biden sat on the board of.”
“You said the 1023 [report] is the most corroborating piece of information you had,” Raju countered, referring to an FBI report that House Republicans have been citing since they began their wild goose hunt.
“It corroborates,” Jordan insisted, “but it doesn’t change those fundamental facts.”
That’s when Raju did an instant fact check on Jordan.
“Well, it’s not true,” he told the Ohio Republican.
Republicans have absolutely no proof that President Biden did anything wrong. They’re just trying to run interference for Donald Trump, who has been charged with 91 crimes and faces the rest of his life behind bars.
Nice try, Jim, but you’re full of crap.
