We begin with the above posed question because for the first time in some years the Deep State press is not censoring Joe Biden’s corruption—at least concerning his classified documents found in at least three different places. These he has no more authority to have in his possession than you or I, and those caught with them, until a few years ago, could expect to serve many years in prison. That would not be so for documents generated by him since his inauguration as president but for documents generated over six years ago while Vice President, it is. This is amazing. Before the 2022 election anything negative on Joe Biden was called disinformation and censored. It seems the Deep State may have decided to dump Biden.
So what do we know? Over six year old classified documents of then Vice President Joe Biden lay hidden at the Penn Biden Center in Washington D. C. Documents were discovered “when Biden’s personal attorneys were packing files housed in a locked closet to prepare to vacate office space” (“Penn Biden Center house classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president, DOJ finds,” by Vidya Pandiaraju, The Daily Pennslvanian, Jan, 9, 2023). These documents were found Nov. 2, 2022, just days before the 2022 midterms and not disclosed until after the election.
Four problems surfaced immediately: 1) Withholding the information before the midterms, was election interference in favor of Democrats, 2) Vice president Biden had zero authority to have classified documents in his possession, especially between 2017 and 2021 when he was a private citizen for four years, 3) Classified (presumably top- secret) documents should not be stored in non government facilities like Penn Biden Center.
But the most serious concern of all was national security. 4) According to Rep. Andy Briggs, “Biden stole classified documents and stored them at his think tank while he was Vice President.” The Penn Biden Center had reportedly received “$54 million in funding from the CCP” (Chinese Communist Party). The Biden Think Tank is funded by China. This is not only a crime but likely treason. Biden violated the Federal Records Act (X22 Reports, Ep. 2969, Jan. 10, 2023, 43:08). This begs the question which must be asked, “What did Biden, or his son Hunter, do to get millions from the CCP?” Were they selling classified information to China?
Likely Biden stole the documents that revealed his role in the 2014-15 Deep State overthrow of the government of Ukraine bringing the Deep State into power there. Perhaps he hid documents that would reveal criminal activity of his son Hunter or brother James. Whatever, money or blackmail, for some reason he hid classified documents risking discovery and likely eventual imprisonment. He had to have known the penalty. Had Clinton been elected in 2016, Biden would not have had to hide these documents, but Trump was coming into office. Was he hiding these from Trump? Who controls Biden; probably both Ukraine and China?
The second batch of classified docs was found in Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware garage December 20, 2022, the most unsecured location possible. (X 22 Reports, not hereafter cited, Ep. 2971b, Jan. 12, 2023, 35:47). Why? Was taking (stealing) and keeping classified documents a common practice for Vice President Biden? Yes, by his own admission. He told a reporter, “I also said we are cooperating fully with the Justice Department. As part of this process, my lawyers reviewed other places where documents from my time as Vice President were stored” (Ep. 2972b, Jan. 13, 2023, 30:00). He knew where he hid them.
In this same interview he noted that the Justice Department “finished the review last night and discovered a small number of documents with classified markings in storage areas and file cabinets in my home and personal library” (Ibid.). Notice multiple storage areas and file cabinets. This would constitute a third classified documents find. How this finding differs from the garage finding of a large, very visible from outside the garage, pile of what looks like many documents loosely stacked in the back corner of the garage, is not noted.
How serious is handling classified documents? 18USC 793 “Gathering, transmitting or losing defense information, the threshold is ‘gross negligence’ not intent (Law. cornelledu/USCode/text/18. Ep. 2971, Jan. 12, 2023, 45:17). Moving the documents around from the White House in January 2017, to an undisclosed site, then to Penn. Biden Center in 2018 demonstrates intent. Throwing them onto a pile on the floor of a garage demonstrates gross negligence.
How encompassing is the Biden Classified Document Scandal? Very!! Paul Sperry@paulsperry said it best. “The National Archivist, NARA inspector general, attorney general, FBI director, Penn Biden Center, White House and US Attorney all knew about Biden’s classified breaches, and they all conspired to cover up his scandal and keep it from the American public until well after the elections” (Ep. 2973b—Jan. 15, 2023, 41:20).
But “What if the garage and pile of docs in the corner were designed to sell classified information without a hand off” (Clandestine@ clandestine, Ep. 2974b, January 16, 2023, 39:11)? Buyers just come and go, get what they want and pay in other money laundered ways—like China’s $54.6m donation to this think tank. If there is no record, log, or camera footage of who or what docs were scanned at either the garage or Penn Biden Center—Plausible deniability.
Why would the Deep State now dump Biden? He is a train wreck for the economy, the Democrat Party is being destroyed, and without gross fraud and censorship they cannot win an election. His baggage could not be worse. Why not let him be the fall guy for everything? The House will be exposing everything. Get rid of Biden ASAP so they do not have to cover the revelations that are coming. Since he would no longer be president there is no reason to investigate further. Close case. Besides they only have two years to save themselves.
