It really is. So, in their effort to besmirch President Biden, the Republicans have managed to reveal the fact that then AG Bill Barr actively covered up the crimes he knew then-President Trump was committing, and that Congressman Pete Sessions, then Congressman Devin Nunes, Senators Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham as well as John Solomon and Sean Hannity over at Fox, were all in on the plot to push a false narrative to deceive the American public ahead of the 2020 election. Nothing on Biden, though.
You mean "Russian Asset Devin Nunes"? ;)

"The intelligence community, for instance, assessed that Putin "had purview over" the activities of Ukrainian lawmaker Andriy Derkach, who played a prominent role in advancing the misleading narrative alleging corruption between Biden and Ukraine. [Rudy Giuliani] met with Derkach, whom the United States has sanctioned as an "active" Russian agent, in Ukraine and in the United States in 2019 and 2020"
Followed by:
"It was against this backdrop that Maloney spoke yesterday to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace and said, "[T]he fact is that [Russian operatives] were so comfortable using people like Devin Nunes that Andriy Derkach -- a known Russian asset -- sent information to Devin Nunes at the Intelligence Committee. We literally had the package receipt.""
