Op-ed:

The “Boxes Hoax” on Steroids

By Diane Sori and Craig Andresen / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The Op-ed posted here is my and my radio partner's opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com

Author's Note: Right Side Patriots stands strong in our support of President Trump in regards to this indictment, but with the left focused on trying to cover...or should we say cover-up all bases...we must play devil's advocate at times to help expose the Democrats nefarious anything but truths.

By now we all know that on the afternoon of Thursday, June 8, 2023, the Biden DOJ (as in the still Obama controlled DOJ)...upon completion of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s six month investigation into last years August 8th FBI raid on President Donald J. Trump's Mar-a-Lago home...formally issued its“49-page indictment” against our former president. Now being referred to as a “criminal defendant,” Trump was immediately summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, June 13th at 3pm, in this, a precedent setting case, revolving around what on the surface appears to be but a case of simple document mishandling. 

 

Thirty-seven charges in total have been now rendered against President Trump with 31 being “supposed”...as in yet to be proven...violations of the “Espionage Act,” with the remaining charges involving Trump's “supposed” willful detention of national defense information; his “supposed” obstruction of justice; “supposed” conspiracy; “supposed” making false statements; and “supposed” concealment under Title 18 of the US Criminal Code, as in the illegal retention of classified, and in some cases Top Secret government documents. And when broken down into more specifics the charges include Trump's being in violation of 18 USC 793, as in the gathering, transmitting or losing defense information; 18 USC 2071, the concealment, removal or mutilation of said documents; and 18 USC 1519, the destruction, alteration or falsification of records in a federal investigation.

And if the DOJ were to apply the law equally for all...as in their not selectively weaponizing federal law enforcement based upon one's political affiliation or as payback for an election lost...think 2016 here...these exact same charges would be immediately levied against Joe Biden...levied before he tries to pardon himself...more on that in a bit.

 

Now, as per the property receipt(s) for the 20 or so boxes taken from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home...serious charges were levied because of Trump's “supposed” refusal to return key documents...documents that might have been shown to visitors...documents that did contain intelligence relating to both our and our allies “defense and weapons capabilities.” In fact, there was one key set of documents very clearly marked as being “Various classified/TS/SCI documents,” which refers to top secret and time sensitive compartmented information.

And while any records recovered at this level could possibly include “human intelligence and information”...information that if disclosed could not only jeopardize relations between our and other nations, but jeopardize the safety of our troops, and place the lives of our and/or other intelligence operatives in danger...know that such information is at the time of classification given a date for declassification of up 25 years or, in certain select cases, more depending upon the duration and sensitivity of said information. 

 

In other words, some or even all of the documents taken could have already been declassified just by their timed out nature alone...could have been but apparently all were not for during a July 2021 meeting at his golf club in New Jersey, President Trump is heard on tape talking to the writers helping Mike Meadows (Trump’s last chief of staff) work on his book. On the tape Trump made note of a classified Pentagon document in his possession...a document that contained “secret” military information about a potential attack on Iran...a document he might have thought he declassified but didn't. “I could have declassified certain documents, but now I can’t!”were Trump's exact words spoken. 

And in a way, Trump has not only admitted to dereliction of duty of sorts by his not having declassified a seemingly important “classified/TS/SCI document,” but he did so after having previously claimed that he had no...to his knowledge...classified documents in his possession. But the fact remains that Trump did discuss said document with numerous individuals having no security clearance at all which could be a violation of not only federal law...as in the “Espionage Act”...but that this very action could have... but thankfully did not...put our country's national security at risk.

 

Unfortunately, while this aspect of the case is basically a simple case of bad judgment or just forgetfulness on Trump's part, that does not change what might be the most damning of all charges levied against him for every president knows well that they must never, we repeat never, discuss any classified documents with those not having security clearance. But here we must state that we truly believe this was not done by Trump on purpose nor with malicious intent, but was a careless yet serious security breech on his part. But is such a breech...especially when it seems no harm to our country was done... worthy of such an indictment, we personally think not, but we must wait to see how it all plays out in court. However, the very nature of these charges has us wondering if Obama, upon his leaving office, left certain “classified/TS/SCI documents” unattended to or talked about as well. But for Obama, we believe, any actions taken by him would have been intentionally done on purpose.

 

And yet the fact remains that if even one charge is proven, this so-called “speaking indictment”...which encompasses way more than is necessary to make any legal case...still remains but a “selectively enforced indictment” for somewhere in the 1850 boxes of documents that Biden stored at the University of Delaware alone...boxes of information from the Obama/Biden administration...surely were hidden many “classified/TS/SCI documents,” after all the Obama administration was America's enemies best friend.

The charges levied against President Trump must become part of the public discourse, because the indictment as laid out, at least on the surface, is quite damning for the fact is that the DOJ went forward with this investigation even while knowing the negative push back they would receive to what most consider to be but yet another continuation of the Trump “political witch hunt.” In other words, the DOJ believes they now have indisputable evidence as to Trump's guilt courtesy of the fact that witnesses...including his former lawyer and friend Evan Corcoran...gave statements under oath to federal investigators, and even quoted Trump's very words encouraging them and others not to look for documents or allegedly to conceal them. And they did so even while knowing, as fact, that they could and most likely would be prosecuted if said statements were proven to be false.

Simply, few would put themselves or their families in such a precarious situation unless what they stated was indeed truth. Now add in the fact that within a day of the indictment being announced two of Trump's current top attorneys, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, both of whom represented Trump in Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation, went their separate ways. And why? Saying in a joint statement that, “Now that the case has been filed in Miami, this is a logical moment for us to step aside and let others carry the cases through to completion,” simply makes no sense for the best persons to handle a case such as this are the very attorneys who were directly involved with the investigation itself. Why so...because they know both the specifics and the many intricacies involved in not just putting a case like this together, but also they know the logistics of how and on what grounds the specific allegations were not only made, but in a word were made to“stick.”

And while changing attorney's midstream is not unheard of by any means, a precedent setting, historic case such as this needs on Trump's team those most familiar with the how and the why such charges were officially made. And this is especially critical when Trump's last chance to bargain for less serious charges came and went when his two lawyers met, for the last time, with justice officials just three days before the indictment went public. And while numerous allegations have been made against President Trump in the past, with most thankfully being debunked for the farce that they were, there is a certain dotting of all the “i's” and crossing of all the “t's” in this case that did not exist with any of the other charges levied against him. Simply, there is more riding on this case than on any of the other cases that came before.

So with this being a case not tried before in U.S. history for no previous nor sitting president has ever been brought up on federal charges...even Richard Nixon resigned before such charges could be brought...this case of the government alleging that Trump willfully kept “sensitive” information about U.S. and foreign defense capabilities and that he shared classified information with people who did not have security clearances, clearly sets the hallmark of being precedent in nature.

It seems, to us, that Trump's well known ego caused him to simply be careless in regards to whom he spoke to and what he shared with them. We believe Trump did what he did not to betray the country that he so loves, but to bolster said ego as a means by which to help circle the MAGA wagons around him to assure him the Republican nomination...meaning what some now deem a betrayal is actually just Trump being Trump...a patriot and our former great president whose major flaws have always been not knowing when to shut his mouth and give his tweeting finger a rest, always coupled with his need for ego boosting bravado and attention.

We know Trump was careless in his storing of documents taken, every president is...Biden even stored classified documents in his car and in his garage...but a simple case of bad judgment and carelessness does not a crime of the magnitude now being levied against him make. Remember, nothing taken from the Mar-a-Lago raid in anyway compromised our national security; no documents were taken out of Trump's home to be stored elsewhere; no one broke into his home to steal any such documents; and surely no national “secrets” were betrayed for if they had been Jack Smith and his DOJ lynch mob would have brought charges of treason against President Trump, and they did not.

And why didn't he...because Joe Biden and crew can now use President Trump's woes as a means to “divert and deflect” attention away from Biden's five million dollar bribe taking scandal, which gives them plenty of time to find the perfect excuse for replacing the ever so pathetic Biden/Harris ticket with Hillary and whomever, for it always was and remains about Democrat vote garnering. After all Trump v. Hillary round two would bring Democrat voters out en-masse, but if Trump is found guilty and sentenced to prison even though legally he can still run...Obama and his buddy Soros will have taken America down without barely having to lift a finger.

And not only that but Biden can then pardon himself, Hunter, and his fellow “crime family members” before being forced to step down...or can he for a sitting president pardoning himself is as much a precedent setting case as is the case against President Trump.

To understand the possibilities regarding likely pardons, one must first consider what the Constitution has to say on the matter. The pardon power of the president is based on “Article II, Section 2, Clause 1” of the U.S. Constitution, which provides: The President...“shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of impeachment.” The Constitution sets two clear limits on presidential pardons. First, that such pardons may only be granted for offenses against the United States which excludes any offenses regarding state or civil cases, and the second being that such pardons are disallowed “in cases of impeachment.”

That leaves defining what exactly is meant by “in cases of impeachment.” Does it mean that someone who has been impeached cannot receive a presidential pardon, as some scholars contend, or does it mean that an impeached president cannot provide a pardon as other scholars contend? The Constitution does not elaborate and thus, it is most likely that the matter would end up at the U.S. Supreme Court where a ruling would have to be rendered.

So can a sitting president pardon himself? That is the key question here and one that is truly unprecedented as no president has ever tried to employ the tactic before. Most legal scholars do agree that a president’s pardon power does not extend to forgiving crimes and misdemeanors that the House might charge in a bill of impeachment, nor does it prevent a Senate trial based solely upon a House-passed impeachment. It is also believed by numerous legal scholars that the impeachment exception provided in the Constitution precludes presidential pardons for those who have aided the president in activities that have given or threaten to give rise to a presidential impeachment.

That legal argument is based on the notion that without it, any president could conspire with others to commit crimes against the nation that would benefit himself and those engaged in the conspiracy with impunity, as the self-pardon would essentially and in reality set the president above any laws of the land. That, of course, is an opinion held by many legal scholars but not by all legal scholars, and thus it would most likely rise to the level of being in need of a Supreme Court ruling.

Potentially, the closest we’ve ever come to a presidential self-pardon was when President Nixon floated the idea to his legal counsel and Mary Lawton, the acting assistant attorney general, wrote that the president could not pardon himself because of “the fundamental rule that no one may be a judge in his own case.” That, too, was an opinion and not a ruling, and while it makes perfect sense it requires a ruling from the Supreme Court well before it could be considered law.

Making the case against presidential self-pardons even more interesting is the fact that these very questions were raised by liberals during the Trump administration as they were concerned that Trump himself might attempt a self-pardon, and liberals were set to argue against such a move based in large part on the opinion of Mary Lawton for the reasons stated above. Now, those same liberals that were dead-set against the possibility of a presidential self-pardon where Trump was concerned would likely argue in favor of the notion should Biden attempt the tactic.

So, it seems that a presidential self-pardon may well be unconstitutional, however without a Supreme Court ruling it remains murky, but what about a pardon from Joe Biden regarding Hunter Biden? Following the opinions of many legal scholars, Joe Biden would not be able to pardon Hunter Biden for any crimes in which Hunter Biden was involved in a conspiracy resulting in, or connected to, crimes committed by Joe Biden, and that presents a whole different legal conundrum. Joe could essentially pardon Hunter for crimes involving violations of federal laws like falsifying records, such as in the gun permit case, but would such a pardon be constitutionally available regarding money laundering or pay to play schemes that involved monies paid to Hunter and then transferred to Joe Biden, or with regard to tax evasion had some of the monies received by Hunter...monies not reported to the IRS then been distributed to Joe Biden?

Following the line of legal opinion that would have been employed in the attempt to disallow such pardons by President Trump but now embraced in the effort to relieve Biden of being tried for his and his son’s alleged crimes, it would seem that pardons handed out by Joe Biden to his son or to himself would be unconstitutional. It seems that way, but it is not settled law…not without a Supreme Court ruling.

That is one line of legal theory regarding presidential self-pardons. But regardless of how flat you make a pancake it does still have two sides, and the other side of this particular legal pancake has been floated by Brian Kalt, an expert on constitutional law, presidential history, and a law professor at Michigan State University. Kalt’s legal theory holds that the criminal process and the impeachment process are separate, and that a sitting president retains all of his presidential powers including the pardon power until he is convicted or his term ends. That line of legal theory means that a president can still issue pardons -- whether related to his own impeachment or not -- while he is impeached.

That line of thought holds that Biden could issue both himself, Hunter, and potentially others presidential pardons even if the alleged crimes result in Biden’s impeachment.

That of course begs the question…can a presidential pardon be overturned?

 

It would seem that should Biden pardon himself, Hunter, and/or others in matters related to any crimes involving himself, and then leave office before the rendering of a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court, those pardons would stand and could not be reversed by either the courts or a future President. And this would seem to indicate that the timing of any attempt at a self-pardon by Joe Biden might well be the key, but what does that mean exactly?

It means that were Joe Biden to attempt a self-pardon and pardons for Hunter or anyone else in the mix of crimes related to Joe Biden, such a scenario might well include the issuance of said pardons followed rapidly by Joe Biden’s resignation from office, that is unless he can stall off issuing such pardons until that time frame between losing the 2024 election in November and leaving office the following January. In that case Joe Biden could wait until his final days in office to issue said pardons while not leaving enough time for a Supreme Court decision to be made, thus codifying those pardons with no chance of having them nullified.

Regardless which path of legal theory is followed by ether side of the equation all roads lead to the U.S. Supreme Court, but at what point would the nation’s highest court wade into the depths of such murky and uncharted waters? A ruling from the Supreme Court would best serve the country sooner rather than later, and while not impossible it would be unlikely that the Supreme Court would entertain the request without a “direct cause” to hear it. In other words, it would be highly unusual for the Supreme Court to take the matter up unless or until Joe Biden attempts to become the first in his position to issue a self-pardon.

The Supreme Court could act in a preemptive manner, but will they?

What’s at stake here is a constitutional matter, and in the potential case regarding Joe and Hunter Biden, it is in regards to alleged bribery which may well have compromised national security. The potential case would revolve around Biden accepting an alleged $5 million dollar bribe from a foreign national that is reportedly a Russian agent who allegedly has audio tapes of conversations between himself, Hunter Biden (who also received a $5 million payout), and Joe Biden when Joe was the Vice President...tapes that may well have been used as blackmail against Joe Biden.

Should Joe Biden pardon himself, Hunter, and anyone else involved in the alleged crimes and get away with it because of such pardons, it would set precedent that any future President would be above the law. And even if the Supreme Court were to rule against such self-pardons, in effect to not allow future presidents that option, Joe Biden would have been allowed to commit a very high crime indeed without fear of punishment for it.

Given the complex nature of both lines of legal theory regarding presidential self-pardons, the murky waters surrounding inconclusive constitutional direction and the dire nature of the alleged crimes committed by Joe Biden, RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS believes that action should be taken immediately to stop the pending scenario that Joe Biden could get away scot-free, thus potentially having committed such high crimes against our nation. Our suggestion would be to have constitutional attorneys bring a case to a “friendly” federal court to at the very lease seek an injunction preventing Joe Biden from using a self-pardon to alleviate himself of any ramifications for committing such high crimes in an effort to get the case on the U.S. Supreme Court docket at the earliest possible moment.

Further, we contend that any ruling less than making a presidential self-pardon unconstitutional would then allow any future president to issue a blanket or specific self-pardon on his or her first day in office setting that president above any law as a monarch rather than as a president. But remember, just because it needs to be done post haste does not necessarily mean that the Supreme Court will do it at all.

In conclusion, the case against President Trump relies heavily on the “Espionage Act” plus a conviction on espionage charges. And this will require the DOJ to prove intent on Trump’s part as to do harm to the United States or to aide foreign adversaries with regards to keeping documents in his possession. Without said “Espionage Act” the case boils down to the ”Presidential Records Act” where it becomes difficult or nearly impossible to gain a conviction unless it can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump knowingly and with malice refused to turn documents over to the National Archives while knowing that the documents were not his to keep as per the ”Presidential Records Act.”

As for Joe Biden, the “Big Guy” who acquiesced to doing favors for money while Vice President, the walls are now closing in. And in a politically impartial judicial system he would be indicted on charges of accepting bribes from a foreign national who is, in fact, a Russian agent. There is a money trail, there is testimony from a highly trusted source, there are alleged audio tapes that not only purportedly involve the bribes to Joe and Hunter Biden, but also negate years worth of statements made by Biden that he had no knowledge of or involvement in Hunter's nefarious business dealings.

But it is not a fair system...for said system has been politically weaponized...and is not the justice system as we have known it to be. It is now the system of injustice with weighted scales and overwhelming political bias. To Merrick Garland, the FBI, and for far too many in the judicial process, Donald Trump is required to prove his innocence rather than the government needing to prove his guilt, and it's all while the Biden crime family has been ignored by Merrick Garland, the FBI, and the judicial process.

Make no mistake, the outcome of these two cases will eventually determine whether or not the American people can ever again have trust in our judicial system.

Investigative Report 

Biden's Document Downfall 

By: Diane Sori and Craig Andresen / Right Side Patriots

 

“This appointment underscores for the public the department's commitment to both independence and accountability in particularly sensitive matters, and to making decisions indisputably guided only by the facts and the law.”                                                                       - Attorney General Merrick Garland, January 12, 2023

Last August 8th the FBI raided former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in search of classified documents he supposedly did not hand over to the National Archives after having left office...outright stole them as far as those on the left are concerned. And so yet another Trump witch hunt began with no definitive outcome to date. And this is no matter that last November, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed former Justice Department official Jack Smith as the special counsel in charge of investigating both the criminal probe into Trump's “supposed” unlawful taking of classified documents...including some marked “top secret”...as well as to determine if now private citizen Donald J. Trump actually obstructed the federal government's investigation into this matter.

Claiming amongst other things that the taking of such documents could seriously jeopardize U.S. relations with other nations, AG Garland never guessed that in his going after Donald Trump that it could someday lead to his possibly having to put the usual array of Democrat double standards aside and officially investigate some in his own party as well. And indeed it has come to that courtesy of the very man who publicly stated to Scott Pelley in a “60 Minutes” interview that he was concerned that “the former president’s improper handling of classified material could compromise sources and methods,” and that the whole thing was “totally irresponsible.”

Look who's calling the “kettle black” as the old saying goes, as Joe Biden's own words are now coming back to haunt, and rightfully so.

Saying that they were there to pack up boxes in order to officially vacate Biden's office at the“Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement” in Washington D.C...affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania...was an office Biden only occupied from 2018 until April 2019 when he started “basement” campaigning for president. And it was here where Biden's own attorneys found in a folder, placed inside a box, that was locked in a closet, ten classified documents clearly marked as “top secret”... documents that dated back to when Biden was Barack HUSSEIN Obama's vice president...documents designated as “sensitive compartmented information”...meaning said information was obtained from intelligence sources including documents that contained U.S. intelligence materials and private briefing memos regarding Ukraine, Iran, the United Kingdom, and China, who after the center was opened saw $54M in Chinese “gifts” being donated to the University of Pennsylvania. 

And while Joe Biden's attorneys did inform the National Archives about the documents on the same day they were found in the very office that was not authorized for the storage of such documents, it's odd that these folks from the National Archives did not take possession of those documents until the next day no matter Biden's saying that, “They (the attorneys) immediately called the Archives—immediately called the Archives, turned them over to the Archives, and I was briefed about this discovery and surprised to learn that there were any government records that were taken there to that office."

Guess they were giving Biden time to cover his tracks. But no matter as still certain things do not add up with the first being why did it take all this time for Joe Biden to “close up shop” so to speak. Could it simply be that he's arrogant enough to think that he'd never get caught being in possession of “classified documents”...even Joe Biden can't be that foolish. And the second thing and probably paramount above all is the fact that there is an interesting time frame gap that could make the issue of President Trump's document woes actually pale in comparison.

Let's start with the fact that the office Biden used to conduct his business until April 2019 was still under construction throughout the entirety of 2017 the very year he left office as vice president, and it was not completed nor opened for occupancy/business until February 2018. And yet from mid-2018 until April 2019, we see a 13-month gap from the time Biden left office in January 2017 until he and the documents moved into his new office. So where were these documents during that time? We believe they were kept in Biden's home in Wilmington, Delaware, which at the time was also home to none other than the infamous Hunter Biden.

So now the first question is if not Joe Biden who exactly sorted through those documents to decide which ones went to the “Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement;” which ones would be stored in his garage; and which ones would stay in their home library? And the second question is did the person who did said sorting have official security clearance? Two possibilities come to mind with the first being Kathy Chung, Biden's executive assistant when he was vice president and the Pentagon's current Deputy Director of Protocol, who by the way has been questioned by law enforcement regarding these very documents.

And the second possibility is Chung's dear old friend Hunter Biden himself as Chung's name appears in Hunter Biden’s e-mails over and over again. In fact, it was Hunter Biden who recommended Kathy Chung to “the big guy” for the position of being his executive assistant. And here it must be noted that if Hunter Biden himself was directly involved in the sorting of the documents, did he have any of his “foreign business associates” over to the house while those documents were in the house or actually being sorted? Could the answer to this be yes, with proof being on the supposed “lost” computer...just something to think about.

And if the office document find wasn't enough to give Joe Biden a political and possibly a legal headache, there were other document finds happening within days, for announced on January 11, 2023, just three days after Richard Sauber, Biden’s special counsel, confirmed the media reports about the first batch of documents being found, a second find was announced. And this find came minus the made-for-TV strong-armed raid executed on President Trump's Florida home, when on December 20, 2022 the FBI went to Biden's private Wilmington, Delaware home and ever so nicely “secured classified documents” from there. One particular batch of documents was found buried in a storage space in his garage, while in a search of his actual home other documents were also found, this time in his home library. Of note, just like with Biden's office find this was kept from the public until January 11th...one week ago. 

And it was announced just this past Saturday...as we were writing this report...that five more classified documents were found inside the Biden's Wilmington home...again with all being related to his time as Obama's vice president.

But before we continue on one needs to understand that any such finds are indeed of great importance. And why... because as per the Presidential Records Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 22), “the United States shall reserve and retain complete ownership, possession, and control of Presidential records.” It cannot be stated any clearer or more directly than that, thus meaning that presidents and vice presidents must turn over all government records to the “National Archives and Records Administration” upon their leaving office. And while President Trump, who unfortunately still remains under investigation for doing the same thing Biden has done now, the fact is that Biden should have known better than to retain these types of documents, after all, he not only served two-terms as vice president, but he knew well that this law pertained to the position of vice president as well. 

Joe Biden’s own “mishandling”...as the liberal media and Democrats like to call it...of classified materials has surely created a multitude of political problems for both he and his administration, and it's no matter his claiming that all was unintentional, that he had no idea what was in those documents, and that he was fully cooperating with the Justice Department. In fact, due to Republican pressure not only has Mike Turner (R-Ohio), the new Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, written to Avril Haines, the current Director of National Intelligence, asking not only for direct access to all of the classified documents, but that he wants and expects to get a damage assessment report by the intelligence community as well as a briefing on the current status of both the Biden and Trump document confiscations. And this is in addition to both Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the new chair of the House Judiciary Committee and Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La) demanding that “all documents and communications between the DOJ, FBI, and White House related to the claimed “mishandling of the classified documents” and the appointment of a special council be turned over.

Remember, in the case of classified documents, under the law, what's good for the goose must be good for the gander especially when the man who pledged that his would be the most transparent White House in modern American history, has made fools of both he and his party. And it's this plus Republican pressure after documents were found in Biden's private home that on January12th led Attorney General Merrick Garland to deliver remarks “pursuant to Department of Justice regulations governing such matters.” Joined by Special Council John Lausch, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, who was charged with conducted the initial investigation, Garland announced that he had appointed Jack Hur, the former U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland and former Justice Department official, as Special Council to “investigate whether any person or entity had violated the law in connection with this matter”...thus basically admitting there is a case courtesy of his words that, “Under the regulations, the extraordinary circumstances here require the appointment of a special counsel for this matter.”

In fact, the “extraordinary circumstances” alone will surely provide additional fodder for two years of, thankfully promised, Republican congressional probes and hearings. What will be a major political headache for Joe Biden and crew will be compounded by the fact that neither Joe Biden nor those in his administration can answer even a simple direct question regarding the documents now in question. A recent case in point was Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's inability to answer the simple question of why was the November document discovery...a discovery made just six days before the midterm election...why was it only disclosed this January. And in her basically flat out refusing to answer that question we'll happily and truthfully answer it for you on her behalf...it's because such a disclosure might have indeed led to a true “red wave.”

And so the president who after the first document discovery was disclosed, voluntarily said to reporters in Mexico after his 3-hour photo-op visit to the southern border that, “I take classified documents, or classified information seriously,” but we guess not serious enough to understand that the two words “classified documents” alone could well spell the end of his 50+ years in politics.

And there are what we believe to be some very suspicious things regarding the timing of all of this, and these are things it seems that nobody wants to place front and center, but we are not afraid to do so. First, we think it’s more than odd, and more to the point... suspicious...that Joe Biden campaigned from his basement in 2020, and has been a near no-show when it comes to answering to reporters for the past two years, but all of a sudden with the classified document scandal now before us, he is suddenly taking questions from the press.

In fact. right after the discovery of said documents was made in his office at the “Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement,” Joe Biden was answering questions and told the media that he didn’t know what was in the documents and he went so far as to state that his attorneys advised him not to ask what was in the classified documents and not to look at the classified documents. Now, why do you suppose he said those things? We believe because he was told to say those things which begs the question...why was he told to say those things?

We believe that the liberal elite and Biden's personal puppet master, Barack HUSSEIN Obama, are now orchestrating Biden's comments to the media so as to allow Biden to paint himself into a corner. Think about it...Biden can’t come out now after saying he doesn’t know what the documents are, and suddenly claim that those documents are no big deal. In other words, Biden took the documents in question when he had no lawful right to possess them; he moved them to various places illegally; some were found in a facade of an office at the D.C. branch of the “Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement;” some in his locked garage next to his Corvette; and others in his private home library; but he had no knowledge of them? His words, that’s the point, doesn’t match his actions, and that’s the corner.

If you need further proof that his words to the press are orchestrated, and that he’s only saying what he’s told to say or reading whatever somebody puts in front of him, again watch the video of Joe Biden responding to Peter Doocy a few days ago.

Knowing full well that such a question would be posed, somebody wrote an answer for Biden to read, and he stumbled and slurred his way through reading it. If you were Biden’s handlers and you didn’t want him trapping himself with his own words, you would not allow him to answer any questions related to the classified documents. However, if you were Biden’s handlers and you wanted him to trap himself, you would readily equip him with a brush, a bucket of paint, and direct him to the nearest corner which is exactly what we are seeing now.

Here’s something else we find quite suspicious, as in the way some in the mainstream media are handling Biden today compared to the way that handled him for the past two years. Just last week on CNN...of all places...Don Lemon...of all people...confronted Chuck Schumer regarding the recent classified document revelations. According to Lemon, "According to one justice's official statement, this week offered an incomplete narrative of documents from Biden's time as vice president and reinforced the need for a special counsel. It creates the impression that Biden's team has something to hide.” To that, Schumer tried to soften the topic by saying that we should let the investigators do their jobs, but Lemon came back with, “I have to say this. You seem much more measured about this than with the Trump documents because you called for transparency with the documents. You wanted lawmakers to have access to the documents seized from the former president's residence in Florida.”

Why the sudden change? For the past two years, Lemon would have simply agreed with Schumer and left it at, “there’s nothing to see here, just move along,” but now he’s not running interference for Biden any more. We believe this is because Lemon is only doing what he was told to do by the liberal elite who have been directing mainstream media for decades.

When President Lyndon B. Johnson was in office, and it’s been almost exactly 55 years ago on February 27, 1968 after Walter Cronkite made a decidedly negative report on the CBS Evening News regarding our role in the Vietnam War, that LBJ said, “If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America.” It was just a few weeks later that LBJ announced, “I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your president.”

While we’re not saying that either Don Lemon or CNN carry the clout today that Cronkite and CBS carried 55 years ago, and it is obvious by their ratings that CNN doesn’t speak to “middle America,” they do speak to the liberal voting bloc and they have recently started covering the Hunter Biden laptop scandal as a real story. If others in the mainstream media start taking a more critical approach towards Joe Biden as the scandals mount up, we don’t think it will be very long, perhaps as early as this spring that we hear an announcement from Joe Biden reminiscent of the one LBJ made back in his day. Don’t get us wrong, we do not believe there is a quantum shift in mainstream media ideology in play here, but we do believe we’re seeing a response to what their liberal elite handlers are asking of them.

And finally, why now? Why have document discoveries come to light now rather than when they were first made back in early November 2022? We now know via Merrick Garland that the classified documents were first discovered in the “Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement” just six days before the 2022 midterm election, but weren’t revealed until January 2023. Obviously, the initial discovery was covered up by the media so as not to have a last minute negative effect on the November elections, and it seems the cover up may have remained in place were it not for something else that had been grabbing more of the headlines...“The Twitter Files.”

With every release of a new batch of “Twitter Files” the hole in which the Democrat party finds itself just keeps getting deeper and deeper. A couple of weeks ago, Craig Andresen wrote in his blog, The National Patriot, that the fact that government agencies and government entities up to and including the Biden White House were engaged in the illegal activity of censoring people’s freedom of speech constituted a Constitutional crisis. Now we know that there is a great deal more to come from Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” including COVID related material, as well as the direct collusion between our government, the White House, and the mainstream media with respect to unconstitutional censorship of the American people.

The longer the “Twitter Files” are allowed to maintain their position at the top of trending headlines, the more dire the situation becomes for the Democrat party as a whole. Something had to be done to knock the Constitutional crisis out of the headlines which we believe is why the Joe Biden classified document scandal was leaked when it was.

Remember, it was CBS and NBC, two mainstream media outlets, which were on the brink of being exposed for colluding with government agencies, government entities, and the Biden White House to censor conservatives and prevent the truth regarding Hunter’s laptop, COVID-19, and so much more from being brought into the light of day.

We believe that the DNC, which we know had been a major player in the Constitutional crisis regarding censorship, is probably also a major player in the leaking of the Joe Biden classified document scandal. Why? Because it would be better for the Democrat party to throw Joe Biden under the proverbial bus, thus preventing him from running again in 2024, than to allow the “Twitter Files” headlines to sink the entire party.

And it’s not just the “Twitter Files” that the liberal elite are worried will topple their hold on power. Just last week, newly elected Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said of the January 6th hearings held solely by the Democrat party for political purposes, “I think the public should see what happened on that day. I watched what Nancy Pelosi did, where she politicized it. Where, for the first time in the history as a speaker, not allowing the minority to appoint to a committee, to pick and choose. We watched the politicization of this. I think the American public should actually see all what happened instead of a report that’s written for a political basis.”

What McCarthy was talking about was releasing to the public 14,000 hours of security video directly from January 6, 2021. The Democrats have withheld those 14,000 hours of video because it doesn’t match their narrative any more than the liberal lies match the reality of the “Twitter Files,” and we believe the combination of the two, the “Twitter Files” and the January 6th security videos, being at the top of the headlines have sent the liberal elite into panic mode.

Orchestrating such a maneuver takes prep time and strategic timing. It’s not a knee-jerk reaction. The liberal elite knows well that they cannot 25th Amendment Joe Biden out of office without ending up with Kamala Harris as president, and even they don’t want that. If, and only if, they can contain the Joe Biden classified document scandal and carefully manipulate and slow-roll it’s official investigation...and we all know nothing rolls slower than an official special prosecutor investigation...they can effectively not only neuter Biden for the last two years of his only term in office, but prevent Kamala Harris from running their chances in 2024 into the ground. And they can do so while at the same time making it impossible for Joe Biden to mount another campaign from his basement while grooming someone like Gavin Newsom, and his potential (likely) running mate Hakeem Jeffries, over the next year for a full-fledged assault in 2024.

Let us put it another way...for all intents and purposes Joe Biden has become politically expendable. He’s no longer a viable candidate for 2024 in the eyes of the liberal elite due to economic woes, the border crisis, Hunter Biden dealings, and foreign policy walls closing in on him while far too many Americans, even in Biden’s own party, are feeling the strain in their bank accounts and pockets. While the liberal elite know they can’t afford to push Joe out the door now, they also know he has to leave without serving or being given the chance to serve another term.

Joe Biden, chosen as a puppet for an Obama third term in office, has become the liberal elite’s albatross, and while they can’t just relieve him from office given the immediate alternative, we believe they simply have no desire to suffer the fool gladly any longer than the end of his only term in office. And while the investigation from the House Select Committee is just beginning, we doubt the last of Joe Biden’s illegally stashed documents has been discovered, and we may never know all who had access to said documents. But what we do know is that at least some of the documents in question pertained to China and Ukraine, and that Joe, Hunter and James Biden were reaping tens of millions of dollars from those countries through sham business deals. And we also know that the Chinese money trail led to Hunter and Joe Biden as well as to the University of Pennsylvania where the “Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement” was originally founded.

The list of liberals condemning President Trump regarding documents in his possession, documents that he could and did declassify is long indeed, and that list includes Joe Biden himself. But thelist of those same liberals remaining silent regarding Joe Biden’s classified document scandal...a true scandal as Biden had no authority to declassify the documents he kept when removing them from D.C...is equally long, and that silence is deafening.

There is one last thing that leads us to believe that the Biden documents may well be something of a smoking gun in the Biden family crime syndicate and that is the fact that Barack HUSSEIN Obama could well have stepped forward and at least claimed to have declassified the documents now being discovered in Joe Biden’s possession...but he hasn’t...and Obama’s silence is perhaps the most deafening silence of them all.
