What is it about dodgy Democrats and emails?

First, we had Hillary Clinton illegally using a home-server to host her classified email accounts and keep them from public oversight. Lest any embarrassing secrets get dislodged by computer forensics, Team Clinton thoroughly wiped the servers with BleachBit, a program designed to wipe data beyond all possible recall.

Just to make doubly sure, Clinton’s staff regularly smashed her mobile phones — some thirteen in all — before the FBI could get their hands on them.

If only Joe and Hunter Biden had thought of that.

Instead, Hunter famously gave his laptop to a computer repair shop and never bothered to pay for the repair or collect it. Once it legally became his property, the computer shop owner checked the laptop’s contents — and the rest is “Russian disinformation”, if you were gullible enough to believe the Bidens and their Deep State minions.

As for “the Big Guy”…

The National Archives and Records Administration has admitted that it is in possession of nearly 5,400 emails, electronic records and documents that potentially show President Biden using a pseudonym during his vice presidency, it was revealed on Monday.

NARA confirmed the existence of the trove in response to a June 2022 Freedom of Information Act request by the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a nonprofit constitutional legal group.

For someone who swears he din’ do nuffin’, Joe Biden sure went to a lot of trouble to hide what he wasn’t doing.

The request asked for emails pertaining to the accounts of Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware – pseudonyms the 80-year-old president was known to use in the White House during his time as President Obama’s vice president.

The Southeastern Legal Foundation on Monday filed suit against NARA for the release of the records, which the group claims may show that Biden forwarded government information and discussed government business with his son, Hunter Biden, and others.

We already know for a fact that Hunter leveraged the Biden name to make millions from foreign sources. The House Oversight Committee has also heard testimony that Hunter would get his then-vice presidential father on the phone to talk to potential business partners and that Biden attended dinner meetings with business contacts as well.

And there’s Joe Biden’s own, on-camera, boasting that he personally intervened in Ukrainian politics to shut down a corruption investigator who was looking into a company that paid Hunter Biden millions for… well, what, exactly, no one has ever been clear on.

“All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for their personal or political benefit. When they do, many seek to hide it. The only way to preserve governmental integrity is for NARA to release Biden’s nearly 5,400 emails to SLF and thus the public. The American public deserves to know what is in them,” Kimberly Hermann, SLF general counsel, said in a statement.

The group accuses NARA of having “dragged its feet ” since the June 2022 FOIA request and says that not a single email has been produced since the government agency acknowledged their existence just days after the request.

That’s after NARA admitted that they have nearly five and a half thousand records that would be covered by the request. That’s quite the potential treasure trove they don’t seem to want to hand over.

The very fact that Biden carried on such a voluminous correspondence under a fake name is surely suspicious enough in itself.

Emails previously released by the Archives and retrieved from Hunter’s abandoned laptop reveal that Joe Biden used the email address “[email protected]” while he was Obama’s second-in-command and that his aide John Flynn cc’d Hunter on 10 emails containing the elder Biden’s daily schedule between May 18 and June 15, 2016.

“Joe Biden has stated there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling,” Comer said in a statement on Aug. 17.

“The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family’s corruption,“ he added.

No doubt they’re too busy trying to think up a plausible lie for Joe to parrot, before the 2024 campaign starts in earnest.

It’s going to take some doing to top his whopper, in the 2020 debates, where he flatly lied that Hunter’s laptop was a fake.
