This week, the Congressional Integrity Project continued to drive the narratives against the baseless, fact-free impeachment attempts of President Biden.
Congressional Integrity Project released a new report titled James Comer’s Baseless Impeachment Probe Is In Ruins. The new report outlines the epic failure of James Comer’s baseless impeachment investigation of President Biden, which after a year of investigation, has not turned up a single shred of evidence of wrongdoing whatsoever. Most recently in Comer’s epic face plant, his Committee interviewed unhinged and Trump-aligned witness, Tony Bobulinski, who contradicted even more of the GOP’s claims against the President. The same week of the Bobulinski interview, the person responsible for the lies that led to the impeachment inquiry to begin with, Alexander Smirnov, was arrested and charged with making false statements to the FBI.

Their star witness, who was charged with criminally lying about his accusations about the President and his son last week, admitted to meeting with and being fed information by Russian intelligence officials.

MAGA Republicans spent a year touting Alexander Smirnov as a “highly credible” star witness, making his criminal lies the cornerstone of their baseless impeachment inquiry. Now, after Smirnov was indicted for lying about the Bidens and exposed for meeting with and being fed information by Russian intelligence officials, they are scrambling to sweep it all under the rug.
Court filings revealed that James Comer and Jim Jordan’s star witness in their impeachment investigation – who was charged with criminally lying about his accusations about the President and his son – met with and was being fed information by Russian intelligence officials.
- MAGA House Republicans Have Been Doing Russia’s Bidding In Baseless Biden Impeachment Attempt
- ROUNDUP: Baseless Biden Impeachment Witness Has Deep Ties to Russian Intelligence
While Comer has attacked President Biden and his family, the Oversight Chair has a history of using his influence in questionable ways to benefit his family – particularly his brother, Chad Come
Amidst the total collapse of MAGA Republicans’ impeachment inquiry, Jim Jordan hosted a panel with a racist title at a sparsely attended CPAC to attack a local prosecutor who has indicted Donald Trump.
James Comer and Jim Jordan’s impeachment inquiry is collapsing after they wasted the past year pushing a Russian disinformation campaign to smear President Biden and his family and to help Putin-apologist Donald Trump.
Fresh off their former star witness indicted for lying about Biden, James Comer and Jim Jordan have moved on to a new one: a convicted felon in prison!

Politico: The White House plan for the Mayorkas impeachment: Ignore the drama, outsource the fight. “The Congressional Integrity Project has led the charge externally. The group launched in late 2022 — ahead of Republicans taking over the House — with the goal of combatting the investigative onslaught into the Biden administration. The organization has been tracking the targeting of Mayorkas closely, but as impeachment seemed increasingly likely, it ramped up that element of its operations. Over the last six weeks, the Congressional Integrity Project has worked closely with advocates in the immigration policy space to defend Mayorkas and to paint the GOP effort as a “shameful” and unfounded partisan act tied to fringe conservatives, such as Georgia Rep. Majorie Taylor Green and Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs.” [Politico, 2/17/23]
CNN: Opinion: Smirnov indictment pushes GOP impeachment probe of Biden off the edge. “Indeed, Comer and Jordan have overhyped Smirnov’s testimony so many times, according to the progressive watchdog Congressional Integrity Project, that it’s hard to keep count. To cite just one example, last June, Comer told Fox News’ Sean Hannity, ‘This is one of the highest paid, most respected, most trusted, most effective human informants. So what we learned is what the whistleblowers told Sen. Grassley all along. The FBI never investigated this.’” [CNN, 2/19/23]
The Guardian: What is the cost for Republicans of their key FBI informant having Russian ties? “Speaking to reporters hosted by the Congressional Integrity Project, a liberal watchdog, Goldman considered how Republicans came to rely on Smirnov. Goldman said: ‘The only way this became public is because of the pressure that Senator [Chuck] Grassley [of Iowa] and Chairman Comer put on the FBI to make them turn over this 1023,’ referring to a form summarising Smirnov’s unverified claims.” [The Guardian, 2/23/24]
