Time for a good ole fashioned FBI raid in the middle of the night now.
Just to be nonpartisan and all, right dumbocrats?

What’d it take 2 years to totally F things up?
It was bad before but this is a totally different level of subversion.

Either they're clowns or they wish to appear to be clowns. Why?

They find the documents months ago and wait until this week to admit it. That's not the problem, though. They had all this time- weeks and weeks- to look for additional classified documents not properly secured, yet they didn't find any additional docs until right after they announced the first finding.

Clowns or wanting to appear to be clowns, and I'm not ruling out either one.

Chicanery or jackassery, take your pick.

Is the Deep State Coming After Joe Biden?
Josh Hammer

The second half of Joe Biden's presidential term has officially gotten off to an ignominious start.

Earlier in the week, CBS News first broke the story that Biden had been storing classified documents, taken from his previous stint as vice president to Barack Obama, at the Chinese-funded Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement "think tank." Those classified documents were first identified by Biden's personal attorneys, CBS reported, on Nov. 2 -- a full six days before the midterm elections. Richard Sauber, Biden's special counsel, claimed that the White House counsel's office quickly notified the National Archives, which seized the documents posthaste.

That alone would be bad enough for a president who utterly excoriated former President Donald Trump in the aftermath of last August's unprecedented predawn FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's palatial Palm Beach estate, due to Trump's own classified document retention scandal. Biden openly wondered to CBS' "60 Minutes" news program weeks after the FBI raid "how anyone could be that irresponsible."

The galling hypocrisy from the Penn Biden Center incident would have been bad enough. But then, Joe Biden's week got even worse.

Adding insult to injury, on Thursday two separate tranches of additional classified documents from the Obama-Biden administration were found in Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, personal home. All but one of the documents was found in a storage space in Biden's garage. That garage was "locked," the president quickly pointed out in a flippant attempt at de-escalation, and also housed his prized Corvette. One other classified document was found strewn about elsewhere in the house, outside the garage.

Attorney General Merrick Garland responded to the news with the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Biden's misdeeds. Garland, of course, had done the same for Trump almost two months prior, on Nov. 18. At least from Garland's perspective, it seems both men are "irresponsible" enough and present sufficiently politically delicate positions so as to require a special counsel.

But obvious similarities -- hence, Biden's egregious hypocrisy stemming from his earlier attempt to seize a moral high ground -- in these situations aside, there are some crucial differences. Those differences do not reflect well on the current White House occupant.

By far the most important difference is the constitutional distinction in the statuses of the two men at the center of this two-pronged saga: Donald Trump was president of the United States, while Joe Biden was merely vice president of the United States during the time that he absconded with classified documents.

That distinction may not seem like a big deal, but from a constitutional perspective, it makes all the difference in the world. The president of the United States alone is vested by Article II of the U.S. Constitution with the "executive Power" of the national government. This prosaic textual truism forms the crux of what constitutional lawyers -- who, being lawyers, make things seem more complicated than they really are -- refer to as "unitary executive theory." The vice president of the United States, in fact, possesses no more "executive Power" than does a Cabinet official, a White House janitor, or even a reader of this column.

The upshot is that, as this column argued after August's Mar-a-Lago raid, "Trump had unilateral, plenary authority to declassify any document that he wanted to declassify -- period." Biden possessed no such similar power (he does now, as president). Furthermore, as the same August column argued, "all ex-presidents receive various taxpayer-funded accoutrements, among them a staff with security clearances and secure facilities (SCIFs) for the maintenance of classified records." Biden, as an ex-vice president and not an ex-president, had no such niceties; he merely had a garage with a lock secure enough for his Corvette. What's more, the Presidential Records Act also permits departing presidents to take personal copies of any of their records; the statute affords no such similar protection for departing vice presidents.

From a legal perspective, we will see where freshly minted special counsel Robert Hur goes with his investigation. And from a political perspective, the Biden administration's astounding hypocrisy on this matter will surely face a blowback.

But perhaps the most pressing question is: Why? Why was there a leak to CBS News just now, over two months after Biden attorneys discovered the first tranche of classified documents deep in the bowels of a Penn Biden Center office? Why has there been such a slow, drip-drip, dramatic leaking and reporting of various classified document tranches throughout this whole week?

It is thoroughly unsurprising that the federal law enforcement apparatus and the corporate media buried the news of Biden's malfeasance on the precipice of the midterm elections. The "Democrat-Media Complex," as the late Andrew Breitbart called it, demands nothing less than such complicity.

But the timing of the leak from various federal law enforcement actors now, just as Biden is beginning his second term, suggests there is real internal turmoil over at the Democratic National Committee. Perhaps someone at the DNC instructed deep state spooks that now would be a particularly propitious time to leak sordid details to the media. Perhaps someone at the DNC thought that Joe Biden did his job by shepherding his party through the midterms without succumbing to the much-feared "red wave," but that he is now disposable and should be replaced at the ballot in 2024 by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). Loath though I am to speculate, it is difficult to think of a sounder explanation as to why, only now, all of this is coming out.

There are many, many open questions here. Here's hoping Special Counsel Hur can provide some answers.

I can see both options being viable simultaneously. They are trying to be super-slick/shifty/crafty, but they don’t have a good enough handle on the behind the curtain stuff, but think they do. And they certainly don’t have control on the public facing efforts; they’ve sent Joe out twice to read a simple statement that he cannot get through; and KJB can’t do anything but stammer about respecting the process. And yet that’s all they can do, apparently.

"Old Man Bad"

At the rate things are progressing, I'm starting to think Biden might be lucky to still be living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave come February 1st. It really seems like we're witnessing a coup conducted by the democrats agains their own president.

They don't actually have to remove him from squatting in the office; they just have to tie him up until someone else gets the nomination for '24.

Hunter Biden has asked an Arkansas court to deny his estranged four-year-old daughter, conceived out-of-wedlock with former stripper Lunden Roberts, taking his surname, the New York Post reported.

The request comes two weeks after Roberts asked Circuit Court Judge Holly Meyer for her daughter’s last name to be changed to Biden, saying she would “benefit from carrying the Biden family name” and that the “Biden name is now synonymous with being well educated, successful, financially acute, and politically powerful.”

Robert’s filing also noted that the child remained “estranged” from the Biden family to the point of “misconduct or neglect.”

“[I]t can be rectified by changing her last name to Biden so that she may undeniably be known to the world as the child of the defendant and member of the prestigious Biden family,” the filing stated.

However, the week after Robert’s request, Hunter Biden’s lawyers asked the judge to stop the change, arguing it would deny the child, Navy Joan, a “peaceful existence,”

Hunter Biden agreed to pay child support to Roberts but requested in September 2022 to have the payments lowered, claiming that his “financial circumstances” had made him unable to meet the initially agreed payments.

not sure where this term came from, but it sure fits our federal govt today

Ineptocracy:

a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing,
and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed,
are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

Stop bellyaching Hunter!
Get off your ass and sell that famous artwork for your kid!

Yup, the Dems don’t want him to run again…

Time to eat their own…

So we are up to four (or is it five?) “discoveries” now, and in far less secure locations than a locked room at a former President’s residence with a Secret Service detail.

Pro-Biden folks are claiming multiple “inadvertent” misplacements of these classified docs and that they are now sure they have all been found (at least until the next ones are…)

These classified docs have been “misplaced” and unaccounted for for at least six years and Biden himself has characterized lack of security of classified docs as “totally irresponsible”.

Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe was quoted by Fox News saying:

"Not to mention, of course… his admission that anyone that would do this would be irresponsible… In legal terms… that's essentially an admission of gross negligence, which is the legal standard."

So all of that from a legal standpoint, my concern as the former DNI is the national security standpoint, the fact that classified documents were kept at a house where a drug addict who has colleagues from communist China and unsavory oligarchs from Ukraine would have access to that. What could possibly go wrong? I think, again, it gets worse every day for President Biden with regard to this issue."

So knowing full well the Senate would never convict, should the House begin impeachment hearings? And if so, when? Now or after the Special Counsel “investigates”? How much “investigation” is really necessary to see that the man is unfit for office, and present a present and past danger to national security.

Even little Adam Schiff is calling him out saying that Biden may have jeopardized National Security (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democrat-schiff-national-security-may-jeopardized-bidens-mishandling-classified-docs)


Sounds like the Dems are starting to do what they do best and fall into lockstep unity to toss him under the bus. Should we start a pool on when he is ousted and by which party?

Hunter license w the Wilmington address (May 2018)



hunter document mentioning $50k per month rent. Not clear where that location was (might be the "previous address" in DC)

Good way to launder some money.

The document also has Hunter check marked as owner. How does an owner pay rent?

By forming a company. There may have been various advantages to forming a company, having it buy the house, and having the (sole?) owner of the company pay the company rent.

Hunter's company (Owasco PC) has been accused in the past of existing for that sole reason.
