| National Archives Refuses to Hand Over Emails Between Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's Staff |
| 2023-06-02 |
| [American Greatness] The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) refuses to hand over requested communications between Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden’s staff. Just The News reports that the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by America First Legal (AFL) has been rejected by NARA, which is claiming an exemption that allegedly includes communications between the president and his advisors, as well as communications between advisors. "But it doesn't apply to Trump" On Wednesday, AFL released the emails that it had received from NARA, which were heavily-redacted. Despite handing over some emails, NARA confirmed the existence of additional communications that it refused to release. One of the points of interest in AFL’s request is an email from Hunter Biden’s business partner at the time, Eric Schwerin, sent to the Office of the Vice President (OVP), concerning an alleged "China Lunch" that took place ahead of an official visit from Chinese President Hu Jintao in 2011. NARA claimed that releasing this particular email "would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors." Emails found on the controversial laptop that once belonged to Hunter Biden had already confirmed a "China Lunch," as this was the subject line of multiple emails that were exchanged between the younger Biden, Schwerin, and OVP staffer Michele Smith. The laptop communications suggested that the conversation between Hunter and Schwerin focused on who should be invited to a state event with then-Vice President Biden, with Schwerin subsequently giving Hunter’s suggestions to Smith. NARA’s refusal comes as congressional Republicans have used their new majority in the House of Representatives to investigate the Biden family over allegations of corruption, influence-peddling, and abuse of power both during his vice presidency and since he took office as president in 2021. The Bidens, and especially Hunter, have been accused of securing numerous lucrative business deals in foreign countries by using their influence and promise of political connections in exchange for large payments. Some of the countries involved include Russia, China, and Ukraine. |

| #4 The best part for these hyper-partisan jerls, from their perspective, is their delight in knowing that even as they screw the rubes, the actual traditional Americans they are supposed to serve, we rubes are paying for their sweet ride of a career and retirement! |

| #3 During the Obama Presidency in particular, boosted by the entire "community organizer" skill set of his minions, Champ salted the DC bureaucracy deeply, way down into rank-and-file civil servants. The bumper crop of malignant, arrogant, demokrat management-class, was on display for Trump, and has been nurtured further by Rice-Powers et al, while the Bidet Clown Show is on stage. They are virtually immune to discipline and resist any rightward policy changes with tactics long established within every leviathan organization. NARA is just the latest example, but consider DoJ and DoS as the most prime displays of hubristic political bias. |

| #2 Stuff in the National Archives belongs to all Americans. It's that piddling bureaucracy's job to archive it, not to gatekeep. |
