Original Note:
Jesse Watters misconstrues the indictment of Alexander Smirnov to imply a direct order from Joe Biden to arrest Mr. Smirnov, which is false. Mr. Smirnov allegedly lied to the FBI in 2017, 2020, and again in 2023. Special Counsel David Weiss is the prosecutor. https://www.justice.gov/sco-weiss/pr/grand-jury-returns-indictment-charging-fbi-confidential-human-source-felony-false https://abc7chicago.com/special-counsel-david-weiss-charges-fbi-confidential-source-alexander-smirnov/14429402/
