Read about this guy! Possible triple-agent or just two-bit con. Nonetheless, Trump has complained about election interference for years, but like they say, “Every accusation is an admission.”
Of course it’s a pardon. There’s no limit to what can be openly pardoned now. It was probably a personal request from daddy Vlad and we’re just going to see the sanctions exemptions continue to roll in until we have concepts of a sanction.

>Smirnov is still listed as a prisoner at FCI Terminal Island in Los Angeles, where his anticipated release date is February 2029, according to the Bureau of Prisons. But a process server responsible for handing off details of a civil lawsuit to Smirnov was unable to find him at the facility.
>After months of failed attempts to find and locate Smirnov, the local Sheriff’s Department managed to receive a clearer response from the facility.
>“They’ve confirmed that Mr. Smirnov has been furloughed, but no forwarding or new address has been provided,” the message read.
The blatant corruption is still shocking.

I admit it’s a surprising innovation. It would create such an uproar to pardon or commute the sentence of a guy who is at the heart of the truth of the Russian anti-Biden influence operation, though DOJ has been attempting to reverse themselves to get his conviction overturned.
“But what if we just… let him out ? I mean, let him out and don’t tell anybody.”
Imagine being Smirnov, though, trying to decide if he’s safer on the inside or the outside.

As a veteran who served this country and believes in justice, it honestly feels like I’m getting kicked in the teeth daily.
Maybe the medical furlough for glaucoma treatment is a real thing, just unusually long and permissive. The refusal to provide details on the prisoner’s location to reporters or process servers is actually for his protection against assassination or kidnapping.
But boy, howdy, the prospect that maybe the Bureau of Prisons just plain let him out…
BOP’s is still nominally supervised by the DOJ Inspector General, which has a new appointee as of a week ago (and [a website](https://oig.justice.gov/) only slightly better than my local Chinese takeaway). His most high profile job before this one ? Investigating errors in wiretaps used in the investigation of… you get one guess.

[Jacqueline Sweet’s Substack](https://jacquelinesweet.substack.com/p/fbi-informant-who-lied-about-bidens) is worth a read for the background and details on DOJ’s handling of post-conviction appeals and the furlough requests.
