Below is my column in The Hill on the growing list of aliases used by President Joe Biden in prior years and the unsuccessful efforts of public interest groups and Congress to gain access to the emails. There may be innocent explanations of why the President used aliases to send information to Hunter Biden. For example, one message concerning Ukraine also mentioned his plans to go to Delaware. However, in the midst of a major corruption scandal, there is an obvious reason why Congress must be able to review these emails. It will win if this goes to court but the Biden Administration is still delaying release. In the meantime, the President has established a “war room” to deal with impeachment. Yet, he can forestall any impeachment inquiry by simply releasing his financial and email records. If these records show legitimate transactions and innocent messaging, as claimed, they will exonerate the President. In other words, this is a war that can be avoided by simple transparency. Conversely, using White House staff to cover up any wrongdoing could make this situation far worse for the President.
Here is the column:
Last year, at an event at the White House, former president Barack Obama jokingly referred to the current president as “Vice President Biden.” At the time, it was described as the more popular politician “reminding Biden who’s boss.” Yet, this needling carried an added bite, given reports of Obama’s private doubts about Biden’s judgment.
In 2020, Obama had famously warned fellow Democrats, “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f— things up.”
Obama is now being asked to bail Biden out from another debacle of his own making, going back to his time in Obama’s administration. Various committees and private groups are seeking more than 5,000 emails from Biden in which he used an array of aliases during the Obama administration.
Under the Presidential Records Act, Obama has 30 days to bar the release of the emails and to help shield his former vice president in a growing corruption scandal over the influence-peddling operation run by Biden’s son, Hunter.
Recently, it was learned that Joe Biden went by a variety of code names and false names, including Robin Ware. Robert L. Peters, JRB Ware, Celtic and “The Big Guy.” House investigators believe that may only be a partial list. For many Americans, it is understandably unnerving to learn that their president has more aliases than Anthony Weiner. However, while the number seems unusual, the practice is not unprecedented.
Top officials have used such aliases in the past for emails, including former Attorneys General Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch. During the Obama administration, the practice was defended by then-White House press secretary Jay Carney, who assured the public that any such emails would still be subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and congressional inquiries. He added, “We do not use and should not use private email accounts for work.”
The problem is that there was “work” being discussed on some of these emails, including official foreign travel plans and the hiring of associates of Hunter for high-level positions. More importantly, some emails are relevant to the clients of Biden’s son. Biden has previously lied that he knew nothing of these dealings, but these emails could reveal even more about his knowledge and involvement.
Congress is investigating more than $20 million that was transferred to members of the Biden family from foreign sources through a labyrinth of shell companies and accounts. Even the Washington Post has been forced to admit that the president has lied in the past about aspects of Hunter’s dealings. Devon Archer recently confirmed that Joe Biden’s long-standing denial of any knowledge of their business dealings is “categorically false.”
Most reporters now admit that Hunter was clearly engaging in influence-peddling, Washington’s favorite form of corruption. Yet in the face of this growing evidence, Democrats insist that Hunter and his associates were merely selling “the illusion of influence,” not actual access or influence over Joe Biden.
Obviously, these foreign clients believed that they were buying more than an illusion for the millions they spent. One corrupt Ukrainian figure said that Hunter Biden was dumber than his dog, but that he paid him anyway for access to his father.
There are indications that these clients did receive more than illusion. For example, Archer described how Burisma executives were worried about the anti-corruption investigation being conducted by Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin. Archer testified that Hunter immediately “called D.C.” in response to the plea. Shokin was later fired at Joe Biden’s demand.
The House Oversight Committee has hit a wall in trying to get material from the Bidens and the administration on these past dealings. It has also learned that the president communicated with this son through alias accounts. That led them to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), which has resisted the release of the emails. It has been over a year since a group requested these documents, and the NARA review is expected to take years at this pace — until after the next election.
Both Biden and Obama could easily allow the release of these emails to Congress. After all, the use of aliases has been defended on the basis that these emails are trivial or personal matters. If so, transparency will put all the allegations to rest. If it is not true, it would mean that Biden was using false names to convey important information to third parties, and the question would be why.
In one email from Hunter’s laptop, Biden associate James Gilliar explained the rules to Tony Bobulinski, then a business partner of Hunter. He was not to speak of the former veep’s connection to any transactions. “Don’t mention Joe being involved,” he wrote, “it’s only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid.” Instead, they referred to the Big Guy or Celtic.
Likewise, a trusted FBI source said that a Ukrainian businessman had said that he paid a bribe to Joe Biden, but noted that they were told to avoid using his name and to transfer the money through a complex series of accounts.
Moreover, the request of Congress followed the discovery that staffers had used Biden’s fake government account, Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov, to send a message about meeting then-Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko with a cc to Hunter Biden.
Once again, there may be innocent explanations for such emails and the use of the alias. However, given the other evidence of corruption and influence peddling, it seems obvious that the information must be reviewed.
That brings us to the confrontation with NARA. The agency could rely on the PRA statute to enforce the refusal of Biden and Obama to allow Congress to review the evidence. Biden actually is supposed to be consulted twice under the law: as the former vice president and as the current president. Both Joe Bidens are likely to have the same negative reaction to exposing his emails.
However, special access to presidential records is expressly allowed under the PRA “to…Congress” and “to the extent of matter within its jurisdiction, to any committee…if such records contain information that is needed for the conduct of its business and that is not otherwise available.” A refusal would deny Congress critical evidence into a corruption scandal and also a possible impeachment inquiry.
The added resistance to the review of the emails only adds to an already strong case for an impeachment inquiry. Such an inquiry does not mean that impeachment is inevitable. Rather, there is enough evidence to warrant an investigation into whether the Bidens were selling the illusion or the reality of influence. By acting under its impeachment authority, the power of Congress would be at its apex in forcing these disclosures and finding answers on the alleged corrupt practices.
None of this should be necessary, of course. Biden could remove these obstacles instantly to assure the public that his aliases were innocent, even playful, pseudonyms. “JRB Ware” may be a pun, but it is not necessarily the next “Carlos Danger.” We simply do not know, but there should be no reason why the president would not want to clear the record, particularly in an election year.
Otherwise, the effort to withhold this evidence could itself prove damaging, if material evidence of corruption or false statements are found. As Obama would say, one should never underestimate that prospect when it comes to his former vice president.

The problem for communists is that they are counterintuitive, inimical, invalid, illegitimate, illicit, and unconstitutional; Congress has no power to tax for or fund communism.
Communists cannot exist under the dominion of the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Communists are direct and mortal enemies of the American thesis of freedom and self-reliance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, Americans, and America.
Communists, by statutory and fundamental law, must be terminated from the American ideological realm with extreme prejudice.

Ever since Hunter Biden’s now-defunct plea deal offering him pre-trial diversion for purchasing a firearm at a time when he’s admitted to smoking crack “every fifteen minutes” was first disclosed, I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for similar defendants and their ultimate sentence. After all, we were told at the time that the charge against Biden was rarely used, and there was nothing untoward about offering him a deal to keep him out of prison for being an unlawful user of drugs in possession of a firearm.

SO What are We going to do about all this Boys & Girls ?
We have an EX President that stole, lied, raped, cheated, broke moral state and federal laws, brags about it,… is proud of it, is an obvious racist, con and flimflam man…twists facts and continues to lie and cheat ignorant Americans. Why is this an issue?
“It is what It is” [It = “an issue” ] Because “He is what He is” [Biden = “an issue” ]
If dream works first can take over heartland tri County bank…and fdic investigators sent in to unravel the web….surely any Biden shell companies can be unraveled. If local cops can get warrants for the Marion news outfits data….certainly local cops can get warrants for the aliase ring. It’s just a matter of will. And if congress won’t do it. We will.
Shit rolls downhill….and despite Joe the plumber….we are millions…..and millions ….and millions. With a clarion call. To arms. And a menu. They don’t have the menu. We do. Good night.
Bill Clinton?
You calling Trump an “obvious racist”?
Ask Jesse Jackson, or Rev. Al, or Oprah, and so many others who know Trump from way back, and they’ll tell you he ain’t no racist, and all of these attacks are just politics.
Everyone knows Joe Biden is the “obvious racist” going all the way back to the beginning of his “career” in public office. The only thing that saves Biden from being attacked with the R word is the D next to his name.

I am still so very very angry about Trump using that Fani-foto to make money!!! All those RACIST MAGA deplorables with barely a pot to piss in, giving all their money to that pennyless grifter. When he runs out of money, and I promise all of you that he will…maybe the British government will sentence him to death as well. Fani planned all this out so she could turn them co-conspirators, because she is a brilliant example of affirmative action. So what if she don’t know ” ’bout all those computer stuff”, she is the smartest person I know, next to Hunter Biden. Why she’s the “first intelligent black woman in a courtroom”, and that is a direct quote from Mr anti-racist Dennis McIntyre!!!
The real Q is, why would Fani or I need for the co-conspirators to flip??? We already have the indictment, which is all the evidence we need to achieve a guilty verdict for ol’ Trumpy boy. Fani gonna show him how we do it down heah in Jawja!
‘Course now I done gone and did it. I told DJT’s lawyers how they can win the case. Just pay all the legal bills for 18 people and they are home freeeeeeee!!!

Ashley Biden meme:
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/ashley-biden-meme-has-no-brakes/
From James Howard Kunstler earlier today. This is just an excerpt:
Mr. Comer who chairs the House Oversight Committee has assembled enough evidence of bribery and treason for Speaker Kevin McCarthy to commence an impeachment inquiry right away into the conduct of President “Joe Biden.”
I’ve used quotation marks around Mr. Biden’s name since he ascended magically to this office in 2021 because it is obvious that he is only pretending to run the executive branch, and has been since day one on January 20, 2021. His March 5, 2020, Super Tuesday victories, after a drubbing in the Iowa Caucuses (4th place) and New Hampshire primary (5th place), had an odor of supernatural contrivance. His campaign from “the basement” was a joke, and it’s still entirely possible, despite three years of massive gaslighting, that his victory in the 2020 election was a fraud.
I believe the reason “Joe Biden” was installed in the White House was to allow Barack Obama to run the executive branch and all its agencies in secret from his headquarters across town in the DC Kalorama district, and the reason he is allowed to do this is because the Democratic Party has committed so many crimes against the country that a tremendous effort had to be made to cover them up, or else scores of figures in high places could have been subject to investigation and prosecution, including Mr. Obama.
It’s also possible that an impeachment inquiry in the House will lead to evidence of Mr. Obama’s role in the Biden family’s bribery adventures abroad, including the participation in one way or another of high diplomatic officials under Mr. Obama such as US Ambassadors to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt and Marie Yovanovitch — as well as their nefarious roles in the first impeachment of Donald Trump. Expect former Secretary of State John Kerry to surface in that mix, too. His stepson, Christopher Heinz was in business for a time with Hunter Biden and Devon Archer during the Burisma caper.
Agree with it.
A little editing:
… “The reason “Joe Biden” was installed in the White House was to allow Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton to run the executive branch and all its Agencies in secret.” And even Speaker Kevin McCarthy knows “The Show Must Go On”. …
The Deep State will not allow a change to take place, They have total manipulative control of the Purse to do Their’ bidding.
They won’t let go with out a fight, Doesn’t matter Who’s elected in November 2024.
All this crap seem petty right now. They want WW III – Nukes are on the horizon.

Uh, you know what? The last time I checked, selling an illusion is the same thing as FRAUD!!! So how is taking money under false pretenses any better than committing the CRIME of actually selling influence or committing some other kind of crime?!?! Do they really think that one is OK and the other is not??

“HILLARY WILL TAKE OBAMA DOWN WITH HER?”
“Obama dishonest on Clinton’s email server”
By Staff | Oct 2, 2016
“When asked about Hillary Clinton’s secret email server, President Barack Obama said he had no knowledge of it. I believe he said he first heard about it from the press, but I think we now know that was not true.”
“Barack Obama was using a pseudonym to email Hillary Clinton on her private email server. The dictionary defines pseudonym as ‘a fictitious name used by an author to conceal his or her identity.’ So the president was using a fake name to email his secretary of state on an unsecured email server.
“Might this explain why the FBI decided to let Hillary Clinton take a walk on her illegal and dangerous discretions at the State Department?
“Is it possible that when Bill Clinton met Loretta Lynch, the head of Obama’s Justice Department on the airport tarmac, he reminded her that if Hillary takes a fall on the email server, she is going to take the president down with her?
“We may never know, but what is clear is that this president has no problems lying time and time again to the American public that put him in the White House. If he was a Republican, he would have been impeached a long time ago.”
– The Telegraph
Jonathan: In other news, GOBankingRates is reporting today that DJT has $425 million in cash. But the article points out DJT is facing many problems. His Save America PAC, that has been paying all DJT’s legal bills, is now down to only $3 million. The GBR article also says “some of his banking relationships have been cutting ties with him”. Axos Bank has been the only one to come to his rescue “providing him with millions in loans, likely ‘with much stiffer terms than Trump usually accepts because of his urgent need for a lender'”. So the squeeze is on.
The Q is if DJT has $425 million in cash why isn’t he paying the legal bills for his co-defendants in the RICO case in Fulton County? He refuses. My guess is that DJT doesn’t want to use his own money for his legal bills or that of his other 18 co-conspirators. He wants to grift off his poorer MAGA supporters using merchandising scams to pay his legal bills but not those of the other people who went along with his little conspiracy to overturn the election in Georgia. No loyalty there. Pure self interest.
But DJT’s short sightedness and miserly imitation of “Scrooge” will come back to haunt him. Some of his co-defendants are going to flip when they see their cult leader desert them. Guaranteed!
This is a specious argument. There is absolutely no obligation for him to “pay the legal bills”. How ever Obama, Biden, and Clinton obviously broke the law and covered it up using aliases. this is exactly what organized crime does, and they prosecuted them under RICO.
Nothing his going to come of this in our current system. The only solution is a someone like TRUMP takes power, and enacts the tactics of Cromwell in the 1660s in England. He is villified today, but our free society came about by the purges and executions Cromwell enacted on a corrupt realm.
American freedom persisted for 71 years until Abraham “The Tyrannis” Lincoln seized power and forcibly imposed his illicit and unconstitutional “purges and executions,” throwing the baby out with the bathwater—the Constitution out with reprehensible slavery—understanding that slavery must have been abrogated through legal means and methods in a society of laws.
The Supreme Court recently acted retroactively by 50 years to correct the wholly erroneous, illicit, and unconstitutional federal “right” to abortion, returning the constitutional power of legalization or criminalization of abortion to the States. Abortion can never be a national or presidential issue.
The Supreme Court must now act retroactively by 150 years to correct the wholly erroneous, illicit, and unconstitutional consequences of Lincoln’s unconstitutional denial of fully constitutional secession, including all subsequent erroneous, illicit, and unconstitutional acts and the “Reign of Terror,” including but not limited to the eminently unconstitutional “Reconstruction Amendments,” which were improperly ratified in an environment of brutal, post-war, military occupation and oppression, understanding that not one, but three nearly impossible-to-ratify constitutional amendments were forced through the totally subjugated States.
The Supreme Court must terminate with extreme prejudice the dominion of the antithetical and unconstitutional principles of communism in the “fundamentally transformed United States of America” and restore this once-great nation to its fundamental law and comprehensive freedom that existed until 1860.
“Trump doesn’t have enough money to defend himself”
“Trump should pay for the defense of the other 18 defendants”
You have TDS bad. Biden is corrupt BAD. Stick with the pertinent issue at hand..BIDEN’s absolute corruption if you can without a relapse of TDS..
The one positive that you failed to list in the litany of negatives is that the former President gets to live rent free in the heads of those who vehemently and irrationally dislike him and cannot let go.
🙂
I’d be in favor of investigating all of them (Obama, Clinton, Trump, Biden) for trying to avoid access to some emails, rather than trying to use the fact that one did it so it should be all right for everyone. Someone needs to go back to school and study logic.
The Bush-Cheney “lost” e-mails and the J6 Secret Service “lost” communications top the list of e-mails of all time.
You meant the Hillary emails. And Adam Schiff’s conclusive evidence of Russiagate.
Jonathan: I think (who am I kidding, i don’t think) this is your second column over Joe Biden use of aliases. You admit that Obama, Holder, and Rice used them. So why shouldn’t Biden be allowed to hide his corruption? I’m not going to address the email that was sent to Hunter about Joe’s scheduled call to the Ukrainian president, nor the draft copy of Joe’s speech in Ukraine that was sent to Hunter. I’m sure Hunter wasn’t using those as evidence to Zlovchevsky that Joe was on the job, so Hunter could collect his check. I mean, that just makes too much sense.
So far, you and Comer haven’t found “incontravertible proof”, as my friend the bug face, has said. I use the term smoking gun but we all know that for me, it means the same thing.
You and I both know that Archer knows waaaaay more than he has told thus far, as evidenced by him changing his story in the MIDDLE of his testimony before the House. But I’ll ignore the flashing red light and accuse you of distorting the record.
Archer testified Biden did meet with him, Hunter and their business associates during TWENTY meetings. But Archer unequivocally also stated that Joe Biden was NOT involved in the Hunter/ Archer company. You didn’t quote that part of Archer’s testimony because WE ALL KNOW HE WAS LYING to avoid implicating himself.
On 8/31/23 NARA sent a letter to the WH proposing to release VP Biden emails on 11/29/23 in response to the many FOIA requests. The release is subject to PRA restrictions. (I lifted this right from the pages of Vox…plagiarism).
When the release occurs, we will have no idea if it’s all the emails so we won’t have really learned a thing. Because if we have learned nothing else, its that this white house has no problem stomewalling and pressuring to advance their desires. Additionally, I am standing by to obfuscate and apologize for anything that resembles more evidence of wrongdoing, as I have done all along. Egg on my face? Nah, that’s just mung beans.
Now something more interesting…watch me twist myself into a pretzel over an obvious typo in one of your XBlue posts. How bizarre that someone as smart as me can’t figure that out. In fact, I’m so smart that I had to LOOK AT THE CALENDAR to figure out that Jan 2, 2024 is not 4 days before the electoral vote count. I mean, c’mon Jonathan, the fact I can read a calendar PROVES I am way smarter than a constitutional law scholar. It’s a shameful travesty of justice that I am relegated to making my living by trolling the internet and spewing my plagiarised keyboard diarrhea for the unwashed masses.
This post again reveals that I rush to get to your blog and prove that I am nothing but a lying, plagiarising coward. Chutkan’s court docket shows that my wet dream is scheduled for 3/24/24. But you are going to see a lot more mental acrobatics from me before then so stay tuned. Got milk??

“OBAMA’S CONFLICT TANKED THE CLINTON E-MAIL INVESTIGATION – AS PREDICTED”
By Andrew C. McCarthy
September 26, 2016 8:00 AM
HILLARY COULDN’T BE PROVEN GUILTY WITHOUT PROVING [OBAMA] GUILTY AS WELL.
‘How is this not classified?”
“So exclaimed Hillary Clinton’s close aide and confidante, Huma Abedin. The FBI had just shown her an old e-mail exchange, over Clinton’s private account, between the then-secretary of state and a second person, whose name Abedin did not recognize. The FBI then did what the FBI is never supposed to do: The agents informed their interviewee (Abedin) of the identity of the second person. It was the president of the United States, Barack Obama, using a pseudonym to conduct communications over a non-secure e-mail system — something anyone with a high-level security clearance, such as Huma Abedin, would instantly realize was a major breach.”

Jonathan: I think this is your second column over Joe Biden use of aliases. You admit other presidents and public figures use them. So why is Biden any different? Because you think they are a way to cover his tracks and involvement in “a growing corruption scandal over the influence peddling operation run by Biden’s son, Hunter”. What “growing” scandal? So far neither you nor Jim Comer’s House investigation have come up with smoking gun evidence that VP Biden was involved in his son’s business activities, let alone receiving bribes.
In a effort to distort the record you selectively quote from Devon Archer’s testimony in his House deposition where he states Joe Biden was aware of his son’s business. No big surprise. Archer testified Biden did meet with him, Hunter and their business associates during one meeting. But Archer unequivocally also stated that Joe Biden was NOT involved in the Hunter/ Archer company. You didn’t quote that part of Archer’s testimony because it does fit into your false narrative.
On 8/31/23 NARA sent a letter to the WH proposing to release VP Biden emails on 11/29/23 in response to the many FOIA requests. The release is subject to PRA restrictions. When the release occurs we’ll find out whether there is anything in the emails that will provide, as you claim, “critical evidence into a corruption scandal and also a possible impeachment inquiry”. If they don’t you and Jim Comer will have egg on your faces.
Now onto a more interesting subject–your bizarre claims in other posts. I came across one of your XBlue posts that caught my eye. In a post on 8/10/23 you opined on Jack Smith’s 1/2/24 proposed trial date for the Jan. 6 case:
“What is curious about the proposed trial date for the J6 indictment is that it is 4 days before the counting of the
electoral votes and 18 days before the inauguration. However, if a Republican is elected, there may be a promise
of a preemption pardon”.
Say what? Looking at the calendar, Jan. 2, 2024 is not 4 days before the counting of the electoral votes. You’re off by 365 days! What is “curious” is that you could be off by so much. Maybe you hoped the trial would occur in early 2025 but as a constitutional law scholar and Fox “legal analyst” one would think you would try to get some basic facts straight. That XBlue post reveals that you often rush to judgment without considering basic facts. You did that in your XBlue post and you are doing that in this column. By the way, a look at Judge Chutkan’s court docket shows the Jan. 6 trial is now scheduled for 3/4/24–not 3/4/25! Got that straight now?
“But Archer unequivocally also stated that Joe Biden was NOT involved in the Hunter/ Archer company.”
Back at it on a holiday with the lies, eh Dennis? Dich Head gonna have fun with this one.
But for now, tell us why Archer said that it was Joe that Hunter and Z called from Dubai, if Joe wasn’t involved?
Or act like the coward you have proven to be and move on to your next plagiarised lie.
I guess Hunter and Zlovchevsky were just calling to report the weather in Dubai, eh??
You lefties never say this stuff to yourself out loud, do you? It might help.
And soon these posts will go the way of all your others, lawn boy. All that will be left is the ridicule of you. Apparently you like that.
The diaper reference has stuck because a) you act like a baby and b) the poop you were smelling the other day was determined to be your own diaper.
I do love how you act like you’re talking to an audience though. Delusional and narcissistic.
I’ve had my nerves touched before, but your juvenile attempts fall way short, lawn boy.
Also, no one even knows what the diaper on the head reference is because, like all your other retarded rants, gone with the wind. The only thing left is your stench.
I have addressed it several times, while you were getting your diaper changed.
Dick Head alluded to it in his post too.
If Archer admitted that joe was involved in hunters business, he would be implicating himself, since he and hunter were partners. He’s not going to do that until he gets immunity.
Now, wanna take a shot at my question, lawn boy?
Why is Jonathan Turley curious about Joe Biden’s multitude of pseudonyms? Because it is very likely – indeed almost certain – that Biden was using the pseudonyms to conduct official business and trying to hide his identity while doing so. Also, no surprise that you are 100% off base when saying, “You admit other presidents and public figures use them. So why is Biden any different?” First off, no President should ever use a pseudonym to hide communications regarding public matters – ever. Obama was wrong for doing so. Second, Biden is different because he has a well-documented history of graft and lying so it is eminently reasonable to believe that he used pseudonyms to try and hide the fact he was using his public office for private gain.
FISA court issues bogus subpoenas to spy on Trump? You: “wHaT iS hE HiDiNg?”
Biden uses pseudonyms to hide communications? You: “Leave the poor man alone!! *sob*:”
You cant see the forest from the trees…Biden is a career grifter of low mental order. The perfect puppet for the apparatchik prog machine behind him …that tells him what to do.
Jonathan: I think (who am I kidding, i don’t think) this is your second column over Joe Biden use of aliases. You admit that Obama, Holder, and Rice used them. So why shouldn’t Biden be allowed to hide his corruption? I’m not going to address the email that was sent to Hunter about Joe’s scheduled call to the Ukrainian president, nor the draft copy of Joe’s speech in Ukraine that was sent to Hunter. I’m sure Hunter wasn’t using those as evidence to Zlovchevsky that Joe was on the job, so Hunter could collect his check. I mean, that just makes too much sense.
So far, you and Comer haven’t found “incontravertible proof”, as my friend the bug face, has said. I use the term smoking gun but we all know that for me, it means the same thing.
You and I both know that Archer knows waaaaay more than he has told thus far, as evidenced by him changing his story in the MIDDLE of his testimony before the House. But I’ll ignore the flashing red light and accuse you of distorting the record.
Archer testified Biden did meet with him, Hunter and their business associates during TWENTY meetings. But Archer unequivocally also stated that Joe Biden was NOT involved in the Hunter/ Archer company. You didn’t quote that part of Archer’s testimony because WE ALL KNOW HE WAS LYING to avoid implicating himself.
On 8/31/23 NARA sent a letter to the WH proposing to release VP Biden emails on 11/29/23 in response to the many FOIA requests. The release is subject to PRA restrictions. (I lifted this right from the pages of Vox…plagiarism).
When the release occurs, we will have no idea if it’s all the emails so we won’t have really learned a thing. Because if we have learned nothing else, its that this white house has no problem stomewalling and pressuring to advance their desires. Additionally, I am standing by to obfuscate and apologize for anything that resembles more evidence of wrongdoing, as I have done all along. Egg on my face? Nah, that’s just mung beans.
Now something more interesting…watch me twist myself into a pretzel over an obvious typo in one of your XBlue posts. How bizarre that someone as smart as me can’t figure that out. In fact, I’m so smart that I had to LOOK AT THE CALENDAR to figure out that Jan 2, 2024 is not 4 days before the electoral vote count. I mean, c’mon Jonathan, the fact I can read a calendar PROVES I am way smarter than a constitutional law scholar. It’s a shameful travesty of justice that I am relegated to making my living by trolling the internet and spewing my plagiarised keyboard diarrhea for the unwashed masses.
This post again reveals that I rush to get to your blog and prove that I am nothing but a lying, plagiarising coward. Chutkan’s court docket shows that my wet dream is scheduled for 3/24/24. But you are going to see a lot more mental acrobatics from me before then so stay tuned. Got milk??
There’s a red under my bed
And there’s a little orange man in my head
And he said, “You’re not going crazy, you’re just a bit sad
‘Cause there’s a man in ya, gnawing ya, tearing ya into two”
“Jonathan: I think this is your second column over Joe Biden use of aliases. You admit other presidents and public figures use them. So why is Biden any different? “
Because Biden is a corrupt thief who sold America to its enemies. Isn’t that a good enough reason Dennis?
It always amuses me that people who are probably Biden employees, try to disconnect Joe from Hunter, despite so much evidence that Joe is involved. First you said that the laptop was Russian disinformation. It wasn’t. It was a dishonest plan to get people to ignore the validity of the laptop. Democrats manipulated social media and buried the Miranda Devine article about the laptop, so that Joe wouldn’t be pummeled in 2020. Trump brought up Biden’s corruption in Ukraine and your party impeached him for it. Recently, Shulkin testified that the reason he was fired was because of his inquiries into Burisma and Hunter. Big Mouth Joe decided to brag about extorting the Ukrainians so that Shulkin got fired. You have Joe’s ex-CEO, Bobilinsky tell Fox News that he had first hand knowledge of the laptop and that he got an email confirming that Joe was “the big guy”. Turley mentions this. “Don’t mention Joe being involved,” he wrote, “it’s only when u [sic] are face to face, I know u [sic] know that but they are paranoid.” Instead, they referred to the Big Guy or Celtic.’ I never saw any defamation law suit or allegation by Joe that Bobilinsky was lying. Not enough for you though. You demeaned Comer’s investigation, like most liberal hacks do. The facts are that he has wired transfers for millions of dollars going through shell corporations to members of the Biden family. Still not enough for you. Then you have Devon Archer saying that Joe lied when he said he had no knowledge of his son’s activities. Still not enough. Then you have Joe using the Archives to not release damning information. Now there are rumors of Joe (or whomever is running Joe), lining up a legal team to defend him. Still not enough??? All of this proves that liberals have no intention of being honest about this. They have no interest in ethics or what is best for the country. They lie for sport
Each passing day it becomes more evident the bureaucratic apparatus in Washington DC, the Democratic Party and the followers of the current ideology of skewed justice are hell bent on the destruction on this great nation. They have built a slide made of false promises and rewards of utopia at the bottom, just hop on the slippery slope and enjoy the decent to tyranny.
The State and National governments have lost their independence and equilibrium to justice, falling further and further into the left’s abyss of strict partisan bias. Man cannot live in society without laws that govern all with equality.
As an aside a few names for Joey!!!
A.K.A.: Corn Pop Slayer, Coal Miner, Semi Driver, Mr. President, and the inspiration for Joe Friday! There is no question he’s the most interesting man in history.
None of this matters. People have already chosen up sides and are not inclined to alter they positions — at least not in relation to this kind of nonsense. The only thing that will alter people’s opinions at this point are economic issues or war — and by war I mean the kind of conflict in which the American military is directly involved. Otherwise, Joetard’s supporters will overlook his creepiness and his incompetence and his assorted crimes, even though they may be the exact same crimes for which Trump is being prosecuted.
And on the flipside, Trump supporters are aware that he’s fighting a massively-corrupt bureaucracy, with a DOJ and FBI that commits more-serious crimes than 90% of the people they arrest and prosecute, and with firm knowledge that the country was in better shape under President Trump than under Emperor Joetard.
So the media will just keep reporting various nonsense to get its precious clicks all the way until election “day” 2024, regardless of whether it turns out to be election week, or election MONTH — however long it takes to juggle the numbers to obtain a “victory” for whatever democrat runs for president, whether it’s Joetard the Magnificent, or Governor Hair Gel, or some other beneficiary of a backroom deal.
So very happy you brought up Trump. A day with trolling for Trump is like a day without sunshine.
Only one of the trashiest, no-rules sites on the web would allow people like you to post your ad hominem trash attacking other commenters instead of addressing the substance of the article. Turley and his junkyard dogs never fail to disappoint.
And where is the comparison to Watergate? Where are the 2 up and coming “investigative reporters” chasing down all this criminal activity? The irony of this is revolting.
“Where are the 2 up and coming ‘investigative reporters’ chasing down all this criminal activity?”
Look for them on Substack. You won’t find ANY legitimate “investigative reporters” working for the networks, whether cable or broadcast media. Those “reporters” are all bought-and-paid-for, churning out scripted stories to peddle a network narrative.
Those two “investigative reporters” are busy repeating the required lines as sent to them in their morning talking points memo.
a) There is simply no evidence;
b) The accusations are a vast right-wing conspiracy (H/T to HRC) invented by Faux News (see the new and novel way I’ve referred to the news-site? Aren’t you impressed?);
c) Everyone knows Joe Biden has suffered from a stutter since childhood. Naturally that transferred to his email habits;
d) Joe Biden is a middle-class family man and the poorest man in D.C. and everyone is jealous of his close-knit family.
e) Leave Joe alone!
You lack historical perspective. The media’s reaction to and uncovering of Watergate was an aberration and only because Nixon was a Republican and hated as much as Trump. Where was the media when JFK was hanging out with Hollywood starlets? When the Clintons were raking in $$$$$$$ with their foundation? When Hillary was smashing blackberries with a hammer? Their head in the sand complicity is expected behavior. Don’t worry. The jig is up. The MSM does not have the power it once had. The fact that Turley has millions of followers is proof of that. When i was young, his voice would have been a lonely one in the wilderness.
Dennis, you make a good point about Nixon being hated like Trump. Young and even not so young people don’t understand the left’s hatred for Nixon that dated back to the HUAC Hearings of the 1950s. Then Nixon had the audacity to run against JFK, and election that the Democrats stole by the way.
The pony-tailed professor types then went on to hate Reagan and I mean really hate him. Of course Ronnie did a great job and is probably the best president of my pretty long life. The left tried to gin up the hate for GHW Bush but you could feel that it was a lame attempt. Of course they hated W Bush too, and Dole, and McCain (not before he ran and not after he ran, only while he ran). Then Trump probably set the record for the left’s hatred but trust me, if DeSantis gets the nomination he will be called a NAZI. Heck, they will call Nikki Haley or Tim Scott a NAZI if either of them gets the nod.
