Below is my column on the search for the true identity of Robert L. Peters, the name Republicans believe was used by then Vice President Joe Biden in emails that contradict his past claims on the influence peddling scandal.
Here is the column:
He is a man with many names. “Celtic.” “The Big Guy.” According to congressional investigators, most citizens know him as “President Biden.”
Aliases are tricky things. They are sometimes innocent or essential like the code name that the Secret Service gives you as part of your protection like “Celtic.”
Then there are nicknames that are preferred to your given name. Take the Big Lebowski. He did not like being called Mr. Lebowski and preferred “Dude” but he was flexible: “I’m The Dude. So, that’s what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or, uh, Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.”
It appears that President Biden also preferred on occasion not to be called “Mr. Biden.” The question is why and whether Mr. Peters is more Big Lebowski or Big Guy.
People apparently were told to avoid directly referring to President Biden. In one email, Biden associate James Gilliar explained the rules to Tony Bobulinski, then a business partner of Hunter’s, and not to speak of the former veep’s connection to any transactions: “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid.”
So it was not “Mr. Biden” who would receive a planned 10 percent cut on a deal with a Chinese energy firm. It was “the Big Guy,” who also was to receive benefits like office space from foreign sources.
Recently, an FBI document showed that a trusted source relayed an allegation of bribery where a Ukrainian businessman said that he was told not to send money directly to “the Big Guy” but used a complex series of accounts to transfer the funds.
The question is whether “Robert L. Peters” used in various emails was in fact Joe Biden.
House investigators want to find out, but the Administration does not seem eager to resolve the question.
The earlier email using the alleged alias is from 2016. It holds particular significance for House investigators because it cc’d Hunter Biden about Ukraine. In the now widely accepted influence peddling operation, the object of the influence was Biden.
We now know that the President lied for years in denying knowledge or conversations about his son’s foreign dealings.
Even the Washington Post now admits that the President lied when he said that Hunter made no money in China.
However, these emails may show the quid in the quid pro quo. Biden is accused of sending official information on these countries to his influence peddling son.
The nothing-to-see-here crowd is dismissing the allegation while resisting any further confirmation of these emails. (Notably, many of them insist that the false claims of Russian collusion against Trump were established by the fact that his campaign chair, Paul Manafort, gave polling data to a Russian client).
Yet, there are 27 emails linked to Joe Biden’s alleged “Robert L. Peters” alias including one sent from John Flynn, a former senior adviser to Joe Biden, with the White House “@ovp.eop.gov” domain name.
For his part, Peters uses “@pci.gov” domain name on a government network, which includes the Executive Office of the President.
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) has pushed the National Archives to share unredacted copies of these emails and has said that the House has not received the evidence. If so, it is not clear why the Archives would redact names from these emails or other information. If that matter comes to a head, the House is likely to win in court. However, efforts to obstruct such efforts could soon be one of the subjects of an impeachment inquiry.
It is also not clear why Joe Biden will not simply make this information and his financial records available to resolve any lingering questions over his past conduct and ongoing denials.
It is not likely to happen. Joe Biden has not taken well to reporters using his aliases. When a reporter who asked him about being “the Big Guy,” President Biden was irate and asked “Why’d you ask such a dumb question?”
If the answer was not clear before, it was clear after that response.
It appears that other Obama Administration officials used such aliases. The question is whether Mr. Peters was doing something that Mr. Biden did not want to be associated with. He was not the “brand” being sold by Hunter, but he may have been a conduit to deliver on that brand.
The House is unlikely to tolerate further delays in answering these questions. One thing is clear. For a fictitious figure, Mr. Peters has a growing number of people eager to make his acquaintance.

“It is also not clear why Joe Biden will not simply make this information and his financial records available to resolve any lingering questions over his past conduct and ongoing denials.”
Perhaps the Good Professor was being quite a bit “Tongue In Cheek” when he said that.
This old Investigator knows full well why the Bidens do not do that….as to do so would cause them a certain fall from grace and a painful journey from riches to prison apparel.
Now…the kabuki theater continues apace complete with lots of drums, cymbals, and fancy dress…..and exactly like a Chinese Opera instead of the Japanese version….it shall drag on and on and on until it no longer matters.
In the meanwhile….the same corrupt legal systems shall insist upon doing in Donald Trump before and during the 2024 Election campaign season.
What happens post election if and when Trump wins it?
Will the Democrats sagely nod their heads and say we must have a peaceful and orderly transfer of power and respectfully accept they lost and Trump won?
Looking back at 2016….somehow I do not think so.
You on the Left prove me wrong…..I shall wait.
the use of a pseudonym is designed primarily to avoid compliance with Freedom of Information Act requests. members of the Obama administration including Obama used a pseudonym as well as Gmail accounts. the pseudonyms are only found out when that address becomes part of another FOIA request. That is how Obama’s gmail account was found
The answer to all this is very simple – Biden is on the take and has been ever since he was sworn into the Senate. Now he controls government and the Executive Branch is not going to do anything about it. Neither will Congress because it’s still almost half Democrats, of which there isn’t a reasonably honest one in the bunch. Sadly, the United States is now under the control of Leftists and I fear it will be from now on until it simply falls apart. The Fulton County indictments are a classic example. Fulton County is one of the most crime-ridden counties in America but their district attorney is more interested in pursuing political charges than fighting crime in her own domain. That’s what this country has come to. It’s obvious now that the wrong side won the Civil War.
So Uncle Joe is a sock puppet. Joe probably posts comments on JT’s blog.
@bucky-Who’s hand is in the sock, Obacala?
No. It’s Dr. Jill Biden.
And we thought that she was the 9th Wonder of the World 😂
As I understand it, many of these emails are already available to Comer with limited redactions. We know that some information relating to the VP’s activities in Ukraine was being shared with Hunter Biden. Maybe more will be discovered when the limited redactions are removed but I doubt it. Little will be added to the story.
I think the House should be focusing heavily on the allegations in the Form 1023 and the pressure put on Hunter Biden by Zlochevsky and Pozharski to end Shokin’s investigation. Among other things, they should be looking into the Dec 4 call “to D.C.” They should also investigate what DOJ did with the Form 1023; so far, it looks like they just buried it. This may be a major cover up.
They should also continue to investigate the flow of funds, and whether any legitimate services were provided.
All of this is best done in an impeachment inquiry.
Daniel,

Dgsnowden,

I did not know there were popups on Just The News till you mentioned it. I took down uMatrix for a instance of Just The News and yep, you are right.
uMatrix blocks about 90% of that stuff. I never see it.
Thx. I shall ponder the way forward.

Thanks UF. This is a good chronology, though it would have benefited from inclusion of the asset seizures in early February and the fallout from that.
It has yet to be explained how the requirement to fire Shokin got into the Nov 22 talking points memo transmitted by the State Department. If that had truly become US policy for legitimate reasons, then Biden’s sole innovation was to have made that a condition to the loan guarantee. Though significant, this can be argued simply to have been a more forceful way of implementing what had become US policy. And it appears to have succeeded.
Have you seen any explanation of the introduction of Shokin’s firing into the Nov 22 talking points memo? Has that memo been made available on line?
“When you write an email or send a text, do so knowing that it may appear on the front page of a major newspaper.”
In today’s world, it is virtually impossible to exist without leaving an electronic footprint. My Google maps knows when I am going to work, taking a walk, etc. It tells me the best route and gives me a time estimate. It knows what days I work and when I attend other predictable functions.
Instead of emails for the pressing matters, those who wish to hide things may send a messenger to convey information in person. However, the White House keeps log books for official visits. Investigators can turn their attention to this gap and also watch who comes and goes from a private residence. Why does the President spend so much time in his mansion by the sea? It would be interesting to see who comes and goes and how often.
Then there is matter of financial records. As my dad used to say, “He has a champaign appetite and a beer income.” A competent forensic accounting investigation team could make short work of this matter if they were given a green light. If a person pays for groceries, gas, vacations, etc. with cash, the IRS has statistical norms that can pinpoint ranges of spending and if an anomaly occurs, this becomes the focus of an audit. Pay dirt.
If a person mows your lawn and you pay them in anything other than cash, then it is required to file a 1099 for anything over 600 dollars. If the person rendering the service fails to file the money, the IRS has knowledge what they recieve. It is a little more challenging for personal spending but there are no obvious hiding places for a corporation. The reports are detailed and every receipt can be traced coming and going if the business operates legitimately.
There is no “black box” where funds come and go without a trail. The obvious reason that nothing has been done is that investigators have been told to stand down.
The SARS reports showed that Biden money was funneled through 20+ bank accounts
pseudonymous e mails are evidence, SAR are evidence, 20 shell companies are evidence, White House Meetings, are evidence, a personal satellite phone is evidence, telephone calls are evidence.
Because you play a shill for corruption does not mean all the rest of us aren’t aware of the evidence….is just evidence you’re a paid troll
Iowan2,
The evidence is there for all to see.
Yea, no one is dumb enough to pay this one for his drivel

For several years I’ve been calling Joe Biden “Brandon,” when I should have been calling him “Bob Peters,” as it turns out.
How JT treats trump and Biden is laughably biased. JT insists that trump gets to use his 1st amendment right to lie about anything and everything. If the lie leads to illegal activity, tough nuts, he has a first amendment right to lie. If Biden says anything he must be hiding something.
The filthy lucre from fox just be really nice. Too bad it doesn’t pay to make your reputation better.
Bob, Fox doesn’t like Trump, but you don’t know that. Why not? Because you say whatever you wish whether based on lies or not. What lies of Trump are you talking about? Make sure you differentiate the word lie from opinion.
Turley writes to and for the Trump cult, period.
If you think so. I am certainly not a member of the so-called “Trump cult” and I enjoy very much his analyses. I believe it is more cultish behavior to worship a man like Biden and refuse to admit there isn’t a definite stink of corruption worthy of investigation from someone other than a person connected with the DOJ. You are a cult member worshiping at the Dem altar of deception and corruption.
Wrong and you know it. Hope you’re being paid well to troll.
Criticism of Joe Biden, if that’s his real name, is not the same as support for Trump.
*in the real world, Trump would be my butler .. . and Biden et el would get the help he desperately needs (see also @ multi-personality disorders.).
I did not vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020.
I am not part of your so-called Trump cult.
The good professor is not writing to the Trump base. He is pointing out the corruption of the Biden admin. He is pointing out the insanity that has gripped his own party. He is pointing out the dangers of those calling for censorship. He is pointing out the dangers to The Constitution.
Period.
Fishwings right on time with his keyboard diarrhea.
Thanka for pinching it off quick, fishlips. Good boy!
The good professor’s reputation is just fine.
He writes for multiple news outlets to include The Hill, USA Today, NY Post, The Messenger and Fox news.
He is invited to speak at various venues across the US.
He has testified before Congress more than a few times.
His blog is highly popular.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner, so right anonymous
FishWings — do you have an opinion about Joe Biden’s corruption?
The Hill, USA Today and the Messenger are partisan to whom?
Irony. U cant make this stuff up
I’m sure Prof. Turley would be the first to defend Pres. Biden’s right to lie, but that’s not what the article is about. It simply points out that the President is lying, and the purpose of lying is to hide something.
Dear ‘Bob’ looks like Prof. Turley has hit quite a few nerves with you.. to make you recoil and attack with such venom…… the Truth can do that..!
Eighteenthhole,
Well, when some have defended the undefendable for so long, willfully ignoring the mounting body of evidence and when that evidence becomes even more pronounced, they react with the emotional reaction of a 6 year old caught in a lie. Then rather come clean and admit to the truth they double down on with more lies we all see through.
Sad is it not?
Bob, “whatabout-ism” doesn’t cut it here. Trump was born wealthy. Robert Peters, the Big Guy, Brandon or corn pop became wealthy by being a quid pro quo “pro.” His apathetic response to Maui was pretty disgusting: joking and references to an insignificant kitchen fire, from which he almost lost his cat and corvette. A life time of plagiarism. Yuk.
Biden exploits every tragedy in an effort to garner empathy and sympathy for his own family.
How JT treats trump and Biden is laughably biased.
The only bias JT has ever displayed on this blog is towards a fidelity to our constitution and the rule of law. He views lies as an expression of free speech and a reflection of the individual’s character. No one has been outside of his scrutiny. It’s when the lies and the character cross the line into violating the constitution that JT will be laser-focused on exposing how it is doing so, especially if the actions may lead to even greater abuses of power. In other words: don’t get in JT’s constitution crosshairs. The Biden’s have earned every word of JT’s scrutiny. The fact you find that laughable isn’t a reflection on JT, it’s an indictment of you.
.again.. poor ‘Bob..’ caught up in the Dems-and-Joe-Merrick-Jack-Comey-Nancy-Adam-Jamie-Dan-Alvin-Fani-MSM-et al Darkside House of Spin Cards.. yes, it is painful when exposed to the Light of Truth………….
what difference does it make…the DOJ is 100% corrupt for Democrats and McConnell, Romney, McCarthy, GOP, inc are FINE with that?
I don’t really care about the Bidens….it is the corrupt DOJ, FBI, IRS, etc
Time to cut 50% of federal spending! We are becoming a FASCIST state where Democrat politicians get $100 Million(Gore, Obamas, Clintons, Bidens, Pelosis, etc) and GOP politicians just get JAILED!
The Russian Hoax was the Biggest Crime in US history…why is NO ONE IN JAIL?
The email reveal has been out a week. No mention in the media, Not even FOX. I listen as I travel for work the on radio. I bounce between cnn msnbc and fox the leftist are 80%Trump. consisting of mind reading and wish casting. Endless speculation about subjects the demonstrate the ignorance.
Possibly because the email is unverified and real news organizations have some (but certainly not enough these days) journalistic standards?
Hahahahhahahhahhahahha….That’s cute, that you think they have journalistic standards.
So by your reply you are admitting that Fox is a “real news organization.”
This is going to be a fun one watching our leftists friends try to perform some outstanding, gold medal worthy mental gymnastics to spin this one away.
Or, they will just attempt to change the subject.
It is 1201 and already our leftist friends are going for the gold but sadly their performances wont even get them to the second round.
It’s all a DC charade going nowhere because repubs are incapable of, as Margaret Thatcher said, “going for the jugular.” It’s easy to get to the bottom of the Bidens Irish mob family (that’s really what they are) crimes by simply looking at Joe’s reported income, assets, and bank accounts – don’t forget the offshore ones, and see the spread between the 2, it’s a big spread too, to determine the extent of payoffs (unreported income) he’s received from domestic and foreign sources.
the Bidens are the symptom….DC is the PROBLEM!
It’s great to wonder how Biden got all his wealth and to want to look at his bank accounts and tax returns.
If only the same level of concern were shown for trump who did not show his tax returns ever. And who is now charged with violating tax laws with his company that inflated values to lenders and reduced values for tax purposes.
Yea, no bias here.
“If only the same level of concern were shown for trump who did not show his tax returns ever.”
Yet Trump’s taxes were inappropriately released and it was a big nothing. Everything matched what Trump said. Biden released his taxes but we don’t see the relationship of his taxes to his income. life style etc. We note a lot of things are unexplained. Why? Because he is a crook.
You should know these things.
Who gives a rats a$& where trump got his money? He didnt get it by selling himself to foreign powers.
Trump should never have taken Russian money to help save his business. He should have come up with some pay for play scheme like the big guy did.
Independent Bob: but, if Trump is a self-made boy-genius billionaire, WHY does he keep having to borrow money to “save” his businesses? And, he has to go to places like Russia to borrow because he defaults on paying his bills and has taken bankruptcy so many times. Do you think Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and other successful billionaires have to consistently keep borrowing money to keep their businesses afloat? None of them has taken bankruptcy 6 times (so far) like Trump has. A lot of his income is passive–from investments set up by his father that he inherited. His golf clubs lose lots of money, and his only consistently successful venture was “The Apprentice”, based on the faulty premise that he’s some kind of wunderkind genius at making money. Today, he rakes in cash from working-class people who were suckered into believing his lies and are financing hils multiple-million-dollar legal fees, all the result of his own illegal conduct, which stems from his narcissism. Taking money from people based on a lie is considered fraudulent.
What did the Russians get from Trump. If he borrowed money from Putin and company, what did they get. It seems that while Trump was president the Russians behaved. What did the Russians get in return? I don’t remember his sons getting $83,000.00 a month. If Trump got money, what did the Russians get in return?
if Trump is a self-made boy-genius billionaire, WHY does he keep having to borrow money to “save” his businesses?t
So, is scan gigi to see how demented she is today, and spotted this gem.
I don’t care enough about gigi to care about her opinion. But this is a teaching moment.
A reporter asked a wealthy man if he would share just one secret of his success.
The weathy man explained that you NEVER use your own money to make money. You ALWAYS borrow the money, and always borrow more than you need.
The reporter looked confused and asked why.
Easy said the rich man. If you borrow some money and cant pay it back…you are in trouble. But…if you barrow a LOT of MONEY and can’t pay it back…THEY are in trouble.
But Gigi has opinions about stuff she has no clue about. Rich people have wealth…not money. Money is a stupid way to amass wealth. INVESTING is how you amass wealth. What the rich do is build a $700million hotel in Moscow, leveraging their wealth to borrow other peoples money to put at risk.
Excellent lesson!
Another way to amass wealth is to go into politics and sell your influence. To amass great wealth, create an organization to sell your “brand” all around the world for you, launder the payments through multiple shell companies and gain operational control of the FBI/DOJ to protect the entire criminal enterprise, just in case you’ve got drug-addled morons leaving a trail of evidence that would normally bring down the entire operation.
Dear determined-to-defend-Biden ‘Bob’ ..at least Trump has tax returns…! vis-a-vis your ‘Big Guy’ who does NOT have any tax returns for the hidden corrupt treasonous wealth……
I’ve said this before: it’s amazing that over eons of physical and mental development of the human species, we have never lost our primal intuitive instinct to smell something fishy.
(Notwithstanding, I still worry that these “delays” in honoring requests for production aren’t contributing to a coordinated spoliation and/or “doctoring” of evidence to “cure” any concerns, –as well as extra time to “Let’s make sure we get our stories together/in sync.” Thank you, Professor Turley.
I would say let savant Dennis Mc apprise the Prof and others as to why JB utilized pseudo fictitious names, and lying about not being involved. I would alleged JB did so because he is corrupt and lies assiduously.
You have to be a willfully ignorant progressive clown to think the polling data is an issue. The Russians could have commissioned their own poll. The Russians could have gone to Real Clear Politics, 538, etc. to get the data. If I had polling data and someone asked I would give it to them. Like so much stupidity from progressives (e.g. recently Vivek’s 911 “conspiracy” or Trump’s telling people to drink bleach), you have to be really stupid to believe it.
Call him what you will, but he will always be Joetard to me — a fitting mashup of Joe and dotard. It’s a name he’s been growing into for 80 years.
“For a fictitious figure, Mr. Peters has a growing number of people eager to make his acquaintance…”
Professor Turley, your column is a delight to read in the morning, even if there are a few typos.
