"James Comer's Allegations Against FBI in Wake of Informant's Arrest"

Rep. James Comer, who previously credited the FBI for providing key evidence in his push to impeach President Joe Biden, now claims every exchange with the agency has been suspicious after the recent arrest of informant Alexander Smirnov. This contradicts his committee's previous labeling of the informant's memorandum as "key evidence." The FBI memo, released under pressure from GOP lawmakers, was used to support the committee's claims but was removed from the committee's website following Smirnov's arrest. Special Counsel David Weiss charged Smirnov with lying to the bureau about allegations regarding Hunter Biden, leading Comer to distance himself from the situation.
