Come to think of it, the headline above could apply to so, so, SO many things Biden has done since he’s gotten into office. From claims of growing up going to a black church frequently to being a Civil Rights activist to being Italian (he’s not) to having spoken to the man who created insulin (he’s long dead – before Biden was even born) and on and on and ON I could go about the lies from Biden. Those lies run the gamut from just silly and ludicrous to ones which affect the country and citizenry.
Biden’s a pathological liar, which he has proven REPEATEDLY over the decades. Consequently, I am willing to give him NO QUARTER on any claims whatsoever about the classified and top secret documents found at Penn Biden or his garage or in his house. None.
So about those classified documents, I have some new fun (cough, cough) facts for you about them. I am sure you all remember this clip of Biden bragging about the quid pro quo in Ukraine that either a DA looking into Burisma get fired, or they didn’t get a boatload of our tax dollars:
So, the man sitting on Joe Biden’s right (to the left as you watch the video) is Michael Carpenter. Carpenter worked at the White House, the Pentagon, and then – wait for it – was the MANAGING DIRECTOR of the Penn Biden Center. Oh, and how he’s a US Ambassador (h/t to Dan Bongino for putting these connections together).
Yes, the man who was sitting beside Biden as he bragged about strong-arming Ukraine over Burisma headed up the place where Classified documents were held. AND he continues to be rewarded for his service to Biden with a plum position at our expense. Typical.
And speaking of the Penn Biden Center, wanna guess who picked the person to handle moving documents from somewhere in DC to the Penn Biden Center? Oh, this is rich. Seriously. It’s a good one: HUNTER BIDEN. I kid you not. From RedState:
One of the things some have been wondering about regarding the Biden classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center is just where were they before that? Because they had to be someplace else before the Biden Center opened if they were removed from where they were supposed to be before Joe Biden left the vice presidency on Jan. 20, 2017. The Biden Center had its official opening in February 2018.
Now there’s an answer to that question and it’s concerning.
It turns out they were in a “government transition office” for six months, a source told the Daily Mail. The space, in Washington, D.C.’s Chinatown neighborhood, was overseen by the Penn Biden Center while the Center was being prepared to open. “Everything was just moved en masse to temporary space, then moved to Penn Biden,’ the source said.
That, of course, means those documents may have been exposed to any number of people — from the people who moved them back and forth, to the folks at the Penn Biden Center over six years. That could have included Biden staff, GSA personnel, and Penn Biden Center officials who also included current Biden administration officials.
But it turns out the woman who oversaw it all was an administrative assistant who had been recommended by Hunter Biden: Kathy Chung. Emails on the laptop confirmed Hunter had recommended her.
Uh huh. How about THEM apples, am I right?
Yep, Joey’s boy, Hunter, is the one who recommended this assistant be responsible for moving documents that were just in an office in DC’s Chinatown. I mean, really – what could POSSIBLY go wrong with having classified documents just willy-nilly in an office somewhere and moved by God-knows-who to an office at Penn Biden, and who saw them at Penn Biden? The answer is: WHO THE HELL KNOWS??! Anyone who WANTED to see them? Seems likely.
Of course, all of this comes on the heels of the outrageous raid at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, complete with FBI armed with rifles, wearing bullet proof vests, and the whole nine yards. Curiously, the claim of Trump having “classified documents” there was used for the basis of this raid even though Trump had sent a lot of documents to NARA (National Archives) and Trump’s attorney had sworn an affidavit that NO classified material was at the house.
So yeah – it was all a hoax, as Margot Cleveland of The Federalist noted:
According to then-archivist of the United States, David S. Ferriero, he watched “the Trumps leave the White House and getting off in the helicopter” at the end of Trump’s term. Ferriero recalled someone was “carrying a white banker box,” prompting Ferriero to ask himself, “What the hell’s in that box?”
[…]
NARA sought the return of these documents, and in January 2022, Trump representatives worked with NARA employees to arrange for 15 boxes of presidential papers to be returned to the archive. Within those boxes were some documents marked “classified,” which led NARA to refer the matter to the Department of Justice.
The DOJ then launched an investigation into Trump, even though when alerted to Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified documents, NARA made no such referral. A grand jury later issued a subpoena for any presidential documents, and following a search of Mar-a-Lago by Trump’s representatives, those documents were turned over. However, after a source told the DOJ that some documents remained at Mar-a-Lago, the FBI obtained a search warrant and executed a surprise raid on the former president’s home.
This entire sequence began because NARA went looking for missing documents and then, rather than work with Trump to establish his presidential library and to arrange for the documents to be stored under the auspices of NARA’s custody at a mutually agreeable location — something NARA had done for Obama — NARA created a federal criminal case out of the matter.
Had NARA dug through former Senator and then-Vice President Biden’s documents looking for the smoking gun that was not there, they would have discovered the classified documents Biden absconded with too — and likely many more documents that over the last decade-plus years disappeared forever. Ditto for Obama.
In other words, yet another institution that should be NON-PARTISAN has become a political hacktivist agency hellbent on going after Trump for documents SECURELY locked up when Obama has a boatload of documents – 30 MILLION PAGES – just sitting in some Chicago warehouse. For real.
Still, both Trump and Obama had the authority to declassify at WILL anything they wanted. Biden did not have that same authority, not as Vice President and certainly not as a US Senator.
But what happened to Trump, the ongoing witch hunt to take him down, was because of some partisan jackalope at NARA:
The most recent discovery of “six items” containing an untold number of classified documents at Biden’s Delaware home illustrates this point. It also brings into focus the get-Trump scheme launched by a “backbench bureaucrat” that culminated in the raid on the former president’s Mar-a-Lago home.
With this reality now in focus, Americans would be wise to revisit the timeline leading up to the Mar-a-Lago raid because the Trump classified-document scandal bears all the hallmarks of a hoax peddled by the deep-state cabal and their corrupt media partners.
That it was, a “deep-state cabal” enabled by the media. And all, I believe, to damage Trump’s re-election chances. They are doing whatever they can to try and tarnish him beyond any chance of recovery. That the raid happened pre-2022 election is no mistake, in my opinion. That these kinds of actions too often seem successful is disconcerting, but that’s what happens when the Democrats and media are one – there is little room for dissenting takes on issues.
Now that a legit revelation about Biden having documents he should not have, and which were most definitely NOT secure, has broken, the Mar-a-Lago assault may well backfire on the Deep State Cabal. It would serve them right.
I would like to leave you with this interview by Maria Bariromo of Rep. James Comer (R-KY) on these classified documents and the Biden connection to China (h/t BizPacReview):
Holy. CRAP. Yeah, this is huge…
That’s it for me. What’s going on in your world?
This is an Open Thread.
