Biden’s misappropriated classified documents problem keeps getting worse with a second tranche of documents being discovered at another location. It is now clear that the first set of classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement was not an isolated incident. Despite that, the FBI and National Archives are continuing to take a casual approach to the case. There have been no raids of Biden facilities. And won’t be.
But beyond the misappropriation of classified documents, a violation of the Espionage Act, the discovery renews old questions about the foreign connections of Joe Biden and his family.
While details about the classified documents remain scant, we know that they included briefing materials related to three countries: Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom.
It may be a coincidence that Biden has corrupt ties to two of the countries on the list, but it’s more likely that there was something in these briefing materials that specifically interested him.
The most prominent of the Trump documents at the heart of the illegal Mar-a-Lago raid by the Biden administration focused on his peace efforts with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. Trump personally staked a great deal on trying to forge a personal connection with Kim and it is not surprising that he would have wanted to retain access to some of the correspondence.
There’s no apparent reason why Biden, on leaving office as vice president, should have kept memos and intelligence materials about Iran, the UK and Ukraine. And yet he had strong official and unofficial relationships with Iran and Ukraine that crossed the streams of government policy and personal gain.
That may explain why Biden, as a private citizen, felt the need to retain classified documents.
The Penn Biden Center, the location where the first set of documents was found, was not just an academic project, it was a humbler version of the Clinton Foundation. Like it, the Penn Biden Center was a prepping stage for the Biden administration financed by foreign donors. Such organizations often focus on ‘global engagement’ or ‘international humanitarian projects’, but, as a practical matter, provide jobs for past and future administration officials using foreign money.
Foreign donors get access to future administration officials who will be in a position to set foreign policy. Ten Biden administration officials were employed at the Penn Biden Center. Secretary of State Blinken served as a managing director of a center that at various points took in $30 million from Chinese donors. Most of that money was provided “anonymously”.
Beyond Biden’s known ties to China, he had deep ties to Ukraine and Iran.
Biden’s level of involvement in Ukraine during the Obama administration was strange because it was an unlikely backwater for an ambitious veep who dreamed of replacing his boss to focus on. Few Americans paid attention to it, even during the original Russian invasion, unlike Trump’s focus on North Korea, and Ukraine could not be expected to pay political dividends.
However, while Biden became Obama’s point man on Ukraine, his son, Hunter Biden, was serving as a director on the board of the Ukrainian energy company, Burisma. In the process, the ‘Big Guy’ appears to have met with a Burisma adviser. While Hunter sat on the board, his father was pressuring the government to “reform” its energy industry.
While the nature of the classified documents on Ukraine are unknown, such materials would be potentially very valuable to investors looking to gauge where they should put their money. Briefing materials could indicate anything from information about Ukraine’s industry, behind-the-scenes dealings and the foreign policy of other countries toward it.
Even if Penn Biden Center officials did not provide direct access to such documents, having them would be a significant asset and a reference point for outside donors or for themselves.
Iran, the other country at the center of the classified documents scandal, is also an energy state and one that has extensive connections to Joe Biden.
Biden’s relationship with the Islamic terror state began early on when he had celebrated the Islamic takeover of Iran and opposed the rescue of American hostages.
After 9/11, Biden proposed, “this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran.”
In 2002, he addressed the American Iranian Council whose founder had run for the presidency of Iran. Later that year, Biden was raising big money from Iran supporters and urging that Iran be allowed to join the WTO. In 2007, Biden warned that if Bush bombed Iran, he would impeach him. A year later, he told Israelis that they would have to accept Iran’s nuclear program.
A spokesman for the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran warned that Biden’s campaigns “have been financed by Islamic charities of the Iranian regime based in California.”
“Biden’s political games have made him Tehran’s favorite senator,” an opinion piece in the Washington Post noted.
The Biden-Iran relationship appears to have continued not only during the Obama administration, when the terror state’s nuclear weapons program was legalized, but now.
As the Freedom Center revealed last year, one of Biden’s bundlers during his presidential campaign was the executive director of NIAC Action and the former policy director of the National Iranian American Council: often referred to as the Iran Lobby.
We also exposed the fact that the Iranian hackers who appear to have run a false flag operation for Biden in the 2020 election were linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. In 2007, Biden was one of only 22 senators to vote against designating the IRGC as a terror group.
Once in office, Biden has offered Iran covert sanctions relief and attempted to restart the legitimation of Iran’s nuclear weapons program that had begun under his former boss.
Is it a coincidence that Biden profited and kept classified documents from Ukraine and Iran?
Biden’s ties to Ukraine and Iran have previously spurred suspicions of corruption and calls for investigations. The revelation that his people had taken and kept classified documents involving both countries should be a significant red flag. And another example of Biden mixing the personal and the political, national policy and economic interest in these two major flashpoints.
There are still many unanswered questions about the classified documents.
Why would the Penn Biden Center have needed classified briefing materials? And why did it take so long to disclose their presence? The timing of the discovery in November, right before the midterm elections, is interesting. Until the midterms, it appeared unlikely that Biden would be able to run for another term. The Democrat showing in the midterms however has all but locked in the nomination for Biden. At least the way things stand now. Had Biden been forced to step down after one term, it’s likely that the Penn Biden Center might have been a hub for him again.
The lawyers who found the documents were possibly exploring the possibility or closing the door on it depending on which way Biden’s people thought the midterms would shake out.
Disclosing the classified materials suggested that no one expects Biden to return to Penn Biden. Instead a ‘house cleaning operation’ was underway with the aim of defusing scandals and minimizing legal risks ahead of the 2024 election.
Whatever damage was done with these classified documents has been done. Much as with the Clinton Foundation, all that remains is the cover-up.
“ Ukraine could not be expected to pay political dividends.”
Unless Russia invaded and the military industrial complex was rewarded!
Coincidence?
I’m gonna guess the Biden clan made more money from Burisma than defense stocks.
David,
One should investigate monies flowing into the private holdings in Ukraine during the Obama years. Looks like it may be the private money stash for the democratic party.
GDS doesn’t have a vaccine developed yet but it’s on the warp speed program so hold on there buddy.
Joe Biden doesn’t say anything. LoL The WHOLE world knows Joe doesn’t talk unless he is told to.
Looks like Biden has had a mutual-admiration relationship with
the Islamic Republic of Iran for a long time. And Joe Biden –
totally lacking the integrity needed to put the well-being of
America first – has profited personally and politically from it.
It wouldn’t matter if the classified documents from the Penn
Biden Center had been discovered as reading material in
Nancy Pelosi’s bathroom – as Greenfield says, the FBI is casual
about it all and there will be no raids on Biden facilities.
The Biden family excels at profiting from betraying America. Like the Clintons., Kerrys, Reids, etc…
There’s a pattern there.
O&B have a hard-on for Israel too. Thank God Netanyahu is back on the job.
Except the Clinton Holyland Foundation has been on life-support ever since the bitch lost the election. (It’s near impossible to entice foreign enemies to contribute if you’re not in power.)
As Hillary is entitled to living large, her sham charity needs cash! So please; go to her Global Initiative site and give generously 😵💫)
A prudent business man studies his revenue centers.
lol, good one Sid 🙂
Obviously, Mr. Greenfield has inflicted grevous harm upon you.
You should sue.
GDS. I like that.
These are not the “declassified” documents you’re looking for. Move along.
Repubs won’t question, probe or investigate.
Please Lord not another investigation. .
Business as usual. Same as it ever was.
Forget it, Jack, it’s D.C. town.
That’s an excellent analogy. An outsider trying to penetrate a foreign culture speaking a different language and all dissembling.
This so called think tank was where Biden’ s cabinet in working was stationed. Every electronic device must be produced for inspection and anyone who worked there must be questionned under oath as to who saw, read and to whom these documents were transmittted to
That would be a very good idea. Of course it all depends on who does the questioning.
When the FBI questioned Hillary’s people, it handed them immunity agreements and destroyed their devices.
face it dimbulb, your boy joey is a corrupt, sleazy, stupid and demented piece of the same stuff in his diapers.
You aren’t fit to shine Greenfield’s shoes.
Trying to Grok Garland’s behavior, he might have felt the situation was so egregious that he had to appoint a special prosecutor to cover himself legally. Just the way the people around Biden looked at him gave the impression that they felt very uneasy.
Perhaps.
Nobody’s really loyal in the long term to Biden because his ‘long term’ is dubious. And Garland’s not an ideologue, he’s a careerist. That’s true of most of Biden’s inner circle. They implement radical leftist policies for their own power and profit.
But I suspect that this is a case where either Biden is being stabbed in the back or set up to be cleared ahead of time.
Probably the latter.
Suppose for a moment that Trump had been keeping classified documents in his garage, I’m sure your response would be “lies, innuendo, and spurious connections”.
But speaking of lies and innuendo.
“With Greenfield it’s also good to check what those links are, because his habit is to present his own writing as evidence of his lies.”
I link to my previous work on the subject, which usually links to secondary sources.
Links on mainstream media sites routinely do the same thing. But you don’t have a problem with that.
Much as you don’t have a problem with Biden keeping classified documents in his garage.
Follow the money. Why did the University of Pennsylvania get 30 million from Chinese donors (all de facto controlled by the CCP) after the “Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement” opened? More like the Penn Biden center for grift and money laundering. And exactly how many people had access to the secret documents in a “locked” closed at the Penn/Biden center. Not exactly a secure “SCIF” as required by law (could probably be opened with a hairpin) or like Trump had at Mar-a-Lago guarded by Secret Service agents. Maybe we’ll learn about the tens of millions Biden and Hunter got from Chinese companies when he was flying Hunter to China on Air Force II when he was VP. But I guess the FBI will have to have a SWAT raid on the Penn Biden center and his Delaware beach house to seize all the computers and cell phones and go through Jill’s underwear drawer to get all that information. I wonder when that will happen?
Are you involved with the main stream media? There seems to be a lot of projection there.
Feeble -minded weak and wicked Joe Biden is a stooge, tool and puppet of that Communist President of Red China, Xi Jinping.
Joe Biden in his meetings with the Communist President of Red China, Xi Jinping, will always results in agreed to policies that will be very favorable to China and let him get away with his horrendous cruel oppression of the people of China as well as accepting Jinping international policies designed the lowering of the United States as a world power.
For Xi Jinping knows that Biden is very weak and feeble-minded and he even likes Socialism and will be very easily manipulated to be the useful idiot ,stooge , tool and” lap dog” of XI Jinping will able to use Biden to have do anything to wants him to do. In other words, Biden is his stooge and tool because he malleable, for old Joe very cognitively challenged since is an empty-headed mindless idiot.
For example, Joe Biden in a speech he declared Bogus “President” “Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being sued, come on.”
Bogus “president” Joe Biden completely refuses to do anything many terrible things that Red China engages in. Biden absolutely will nothing even if he is able to.
For a number of sinister reasons, such as he admires the socialism / Communist ideology of mainland China.
Biden must also like the tyrannical oppressor of Communist China against its citizens since he absolutely is copying Red China’s imprisonment system of that regime’s tyrant Xi Jinping who has political prisoners who are held in cruel cells and treated terrible and denied their basis human rights.
For that Joe Biden has political prisoners from January 6, 2021, who are held in cruel cells and treated terrible and denied their basic human rights.
Another sinister reason that Biden will do nothing to help victims of Red China is because he is so horribly corrupt that he willingly accepts bribes from Xi Jinping and other high ranking members of the ruling Communist party of China.
About that last point ,the Bible reads ” The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice.”
Proverbs 17:23. [N. I. V.]
WE ALL KNOW Biden’s obsession with little girls, so I bet he’s hoping they don’t find his CHILD PORN in Magazine’s or on his computer and a reason he goes home a lot! I BET HE GOES HOME SOON TOO to destroy it. Is that why Hunter has a sex addiction too?
His own daughter. Pedo Joe.
It’s my understanding that Biden’s classified documents are there from when he was VP. I’ve been told that the VP is not allowed to have classified documents once he is out of that office. Is this legal? Is anything at all redacted? Why are they spaced in multiple locations? Who else has or is viewing them? Trump had them in a near impenetrable vault. Biden has them in a cabinet in his garage and in at least two other locations, how were they stored in these other locations? Dems have been going after Trump for almost seven years with bloodlust and anything they can make up. Why is there not massive news coverage of this everywhere? I mean Prince Harry gets more coverage than this possible criminal act? What are the democrats and the media hiding?
Maybe Biden needed a retirement plan.
This looks like the retirement plan. It leaves PinocchiJoe’s handlers options and threats.
He needs a retirement home.
He has Alzheimer’s, you know.
Government “communications” managers wait for a big media story before releasing any bad (for them) news. It’s a well known propaganda tactic.
The presence of documents at Mar-a-Lago relating to North Korea has been abundantly covered in the national news media, including the New York Times, CNN, The Guardian, Reuters, etc., etc., etc. Do try to keep up.
If Mr. Greenfield’s commentary contains “lies,” as you claim, it’s noteworthy — and telling — that you failed to identify a single example. Not one.
The UK documents are likely related to the origins of the Russia Hoax
PEDO-JOE rushed home on Friday night to destroy, and delete, his P hile C -orn. I bet he didn’t get a wink last night!
Your comment is a perfect example of how many dicks you suck every day.
Goodness, Jeff, watch your mouth! There are ladies present!
To say that Joe Biden and his administration are terrible is an understatement. For Biden and his crew are an abomination to everything that is wise, good .fair decent just and right. As he has proven by his appointments, orders policies and politics of are nothing but folly and madness if not outright treason.
With all the awful things done by Biden, he is an extremely incompetent fool and outright idiot, or the second case is the he is a treacherous treasonous subversive scoundrel and an outright villain.
Those documents at Mar-a-Lago were so childishly identified as TOP SECRET which any computer can create a cover page, print it out and slap on front of the docs. President Trump had privilege to have documents. Biden did not. By the way, Biden said “I take classified documents. Period. Seriously”. So many questions about Biden administration and the answers are right in front of our face.
