NARA Reveals It Has Over 5,400 Biden Emails Where He Used Fake Names to Forward Government Info & Business Deals to Son Hunter

In roughly 5,400 emails, electronic records, and documents during his time as vice president, President Joe Biden may have used a pseudonym, according to a shocking letter from the National Archives and Records Administration.

The abundance of correspondence was verified after the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF) requested emails associated with aliases reportedly used by Biden, including Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB Ware, under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Republicans have pushed for the release of emails they claim indicate Biden used the aliases to communicate with his son about international business and share information on the nations where he was making deals.

Vice presidents and other high-ranking government officials sometimes adopt pseudonyms to avoid being overwhelmed with spam and unsolicited emails from the general public, despite the White House’s insistence that Biden and his son were never partners in business.

Because all of the communications were stored, the Obama administration at the time denied claims that they were’secret’.

The question of whether then-VP Biden breached the “absolute wall” he claimed to have maintained between “the personal and private, and the government,” however, is raised by the sheer volume of emails.

Emails found on Hunter’s laptop also show that Biden was referred to as the “big guy” by business associates.

According to NARA, there are around 5,400 emails, electronic data, and documents that show Joe Biden utilized email aliases while serving as Obama’s vice president.

Employees used Biden’s alternate address. To arrange a meeting with Petro Poroshenko, use the email address Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov. Hunter received a copy of that email.


Hunter also urged John McGrail to apply for a position in the Treasury’s legal division in an email to Robin Ware, another of Biden’s email aliases.


The results of the FOIA request made by the SLF in June 2022 seem to corroborate that Biden used the emails associated with the identities.

From a variety of personal email accounts, Biden occasionally sent, received, and forwarded official correspondence.

All of the names are aliases that Biden used on emails pertaining to both professional and personal matters from 2009 to 2017 while he was Barack Obama’s vice president.

On Monday, the Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a lawsuit against NARA to force the release of the records.

The Foundation claims that the documents could possibly show occasions in which President Biden communicated with his son, Hunter Biden, and other people about official business.

‘All too frequently, public servants abuse their authority by utilizing it for their own political or personal gain. Many people try to conceal it when they do. The best way to maintain the integrity of the government is for NARA to make Biden’s approximately 5,400 emails available to SLF and the general public.

Kimberly Hermann, general attorney for the SLF, stated in a statement, “The American public deserves to know what is in them.”

In addition, the Southeastern Legal Foundation claims that NARA has been using delay strategies since the initial FOIA request was made more than 14 months ago.

NARA has acknowledged the existence of emails, but no specific emails have been released.

According to the lawsuit, Stephannie Oriabure, director of NARA’s archival operations division, wrote to the Southeastern Legal Foundation in June 2022, “We have performed a search of our collection for Vice Presidential records related to your [June 9, 2022] request and have identified approximately 5,138 email messages, 25 electronic files, and 200 pages of potentially responsive records that must be processed in order to respond to your request.”

James Comer, a Kentucky Republican and the head of the House Oversight Committee, ordered from NARA earlier this month unredacted papers that also demonstrated Vice President Biden’s use of a pseudonym.

On that particular occasion, the goal was to investigate the part the former vice president played in his son’s cross-border commercial transactions.

As previously revealed emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop showed, while serving as vice president, President Biden used the email account “Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov.”

The emails also showed conversations between Hunter Biden and his assistant on Joe Biden’s daily itinerary.

John Flynn’s assistant sent Biden his daily schedule to his personal email address, Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov, along with a copy to Hunter for at least four weeks in 2016.

Hunter gave his small son the name Beau after his sibling. They joined Joe and First Lady Jill Biden at the White House for the July 4 fireworks display.

Between May 18 and June 15, 2016, Hunter was copied on 10 of these emails.

Robert Peters used a @pci.gov domain for his email account. In 2020, the Domain Name System security report from the DNS Institute classified the service as problematic.

A May 2016 email from Flynn to Joe, a.k.a. Robert Peters, that also included Hunter in the recipient list, sets a “8.45am prep for 9am phonecall with Pres Poroshenko.” Poroshenko was the president of Ukraine.

Hunter was receiving $83,333 per month at the time to serve on the board of the dishonest Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings Ltd.

A year and a half after beginning his employment with Burisma, he ultimately quit the company two months after his father’s resignation as vice president.

Only a few months prior, in December 2015, Biden had threatened Poroshenko that he would withhold $1 billion in US funding unless he dismissed Viktor Shokin, Ukraine’s chief prosecutor, who was looking into Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma.

Shokin was ousted from office in March 2016 after receiving numerous accusations of wrongdoing.

According to emails found on Hunter Biden’s laptop, Joe Biden would email his two sons, Hunter (on the left) and Beau (on the right), using the aliases “Robin Ware,” “Robert L. Peters,” and “JRB ware.” At Obama’s Inaugural Parade in January 2009, the couple was captured on camera.

Officials from the State Department allegedly tried to complain to Biden directly about Hunter’s participation with Burisma, but their accusations were dismissed.

On March 26, 2012, Joe Biden sent a forwarded email to Hunter and his brother Beau, who was the attorney general of Delaware, using one of his private aliases, RobinWare456@gmail.com.

Email from Antony Blinken, who is currently serving as secretary of state, was forwarded.

‘Beau visited Kyev [Ukraine] on the Friday and gave a discussion on corruption at the Hyatt… then attended reception at the residence where he met many young Ukrainian lawyers,’ read the email from US Ambassador to Ukraine John Tefft. We got a lot of praise for his speech and just being honest about a subject that still affects this nation.

In 2014, Hunter began working for Ukrainian gas producer Burisma Holdings.

From Burisma, he received $83,333 per month until two months after Biden’s resignation.

In an email from a Ukrainian executive at Burisma, who stated that he had access to him through Hunter, he was referred to as “the big guy” and characterized.

Because the executive was also under investigation by a Ukrainian prosecutor, Joe’s use of $1 billion in American aid funds to remove the prosecutor generated severe concerns.

In the past, President Biden has denied ever granting any of Hunter’s business colleagues access to him or the White House.

Rep. Comer noted that while Biden has long maintained that there was a total separation between the commercial ventures of his family and his duties as vice president, the evidence appears to imply otherwise.

‘Joe Biden has claimed there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s overseas business operations and his duties as Vice President, but evidence demonstrates that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling,’ Comer noted in a statement on August 17.

“The National Archives must provide these unredacted records,” he continued. “They will help us in our investigation into the corruption of the Biden family.”

White House officials transmitted Joe’s calendar, including a conversation with the then-Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko, to his secret email account, “Robert L. Peters,” according to a troubling May 2016 email that Comer’s letter mentions and that DailyMail.com previously reported.

Hunter, who at the time was supposedly working for the fraudulent Ukrainian gas company Burisma, was mysteriously copied on the email by the staff member John Flynn.

According to documents found on Joe’s laptop, White House employees copied Hunter on a total of 10 emails sent to alias addresses.

Another instance occurred in June 2014 where Joe and Hunter appeared to have used the then-VP’s private email to discuss official business.

On June 23, 2014, Hunter wrote to his father via his Rosemont Seneca consultant email account regarding the hiring of John McGrail, who was then the deputy White House counsel.

Hunter wrote, “J. McGrail very much wants to serve as detail for Treasury. Before you fill position, pls talk to me.”

Joe replied from the email robinware456@gmail.com, “Re: Johnny, call me right away Dad.”

McGrail received his anticipated transfer to the Treasury as Senior Counsel in January 2017 after being elevated to VP’s counsel the following year. According to his LinkedIn profile, he is the department’s Under Secretary for Domestic Finance’s Counselor at the moment.

Since 2021, Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have been requesting from NARA unredacted data pertaining to Joe’s pseudonym emails.

Additionally, Anthony Blinken utilized the Robin Ware email to inform his superior about a speech Beau gave in Kyiv in 2012 when he was serving as Biden’s national security adviser.

Chemicals From East Palestine Train Disaster Spread To 16 States: Study

Published

1 week ago

on

June 23, 2024

By

Toxic chemicals released during fires following the Norfolk Southern train derailment in Ohio last year spread to 16 states and likely Canada, according to a study released Wednesday.

The pollution, some of which came from the burning of vinyl chloride, a carcinogen, spread over 540,000 square miles, showing clearly that “the impacts of the fire were larger in scale and scope than the initial predictions,” the authors of the study, published in Environmental Research Letters, found.

Lead author David Gay, coordinator of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program, said that he was very surprised by the way the chemicals had spread. “I didn’t expect to see an impact this far out,” he told The Washington Post.

Gay said the results did not mean “death and destruction,” as concentrations were low on an absolute scale—”not melting steel or eating paint off buildings”—but that they were still “very extreme” compared to normal, with measurements higher than recorded in the previous ten years.

“I think we should be concerned,” Juliane Beier, an expert on vinyl chloride effects who didn’t take part in the study, told the Post, citing the possibility of long-term environmental impacts on communities.

A Norfolk Southern train crashed in East Palestine, Ohio, a village near the Pennsylvania border and the Appalachian foothills, on February 3, 2023. Dozens of train cars derailed, at least 11 of which were carrying hazardous materials, some of which caught fire after the accident and burned for days. Fearing a large-scale explosion, authorities drained the vinyl chloride from five cars into a trench and set it alight in a controlled burn.

A former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency official later said that the controlled burn went against EPA rules; the head of the National Transportation Safety Board said the deliberate burning was unnecessary.

The local impact of the fires was felt acutely in the month after the accident—a “potent chemical odor hung in the air for weeks,” according to The Guardian, and people reported nausea, rashes, and headaches.

The new study helps explain the wider environmental impact. The researchers looked at inorganic compound samples in rain and snow at 260 sites. The highest levels of chloride were found in northern Pennsylvania and near the Canada-New York border, which was downwind from the accident.

The authors also found “exceptionally high” pH levels in rain as far away as northern Maine. They did not look at organic compounds such as dioxin or PFAS, which likely also spread following the accident, The Guardian reported. The elevated inorganic chemical levels dropped two to three weeks after the accident.

Norfolk Southern has agreed to pay nearly $1 billion in damages following two settlements reached in recent months. In April, the company reached a $600 million deal with class action plaintiffs living within 20 miles of the derailment site. That deal won’t be finalized until the residents officially agree. In May, the company reached a separate $310 million settlement with the federal government. The company has said that it has already spent $107 million on community support and removed the impacted soil.

Norfolk Southern makes billions in profits every year, and the company gave its CEO a 37% pay hike last year, drawing widespread criticism. The company also spent $2.3 million on federal lobbying last year, according to OpenSecrets data reported by Roll Call.

Former White House Physician Ronny Jackson Urges Drug Test for Biden Before Presidential Debate

Published

June 23, 2024

By

Former White House physician and current Representative Ronny Jackson has announced his intention to send a recommendation letter to the White House, urging them to test President Joe Biden for performance-enhancing drugs ahead of the upcoming presidential debate with Donald Trump.

Taking to Twitter, Jackson made his demands clear with a tweet that read: “DRUG TEST BIDEN BEFORE THE DEBATE! Will we see Sleepy Joe, who lives in the White House Basement, or will we see Jacked-Up Joe who made an appearance at the State Of The Union??? The American people deserve to know if their ‘President’ is taking Performance Enhancing Drugs! TEST BIDEN NOW!!”

During an appearance on Maria Bartiromo’s show, Jackson reiterated his position , where he announced his plans to formally request the drug test. He emphasized the American public’s right to transparency regarding their president’s health and cognitive abilities.

Flashback to January 2018

This isn’t the first time Jackson has been at the center of controversy regarding the health and fitness of a sitting president. In January 2018, as the White House physician, he defended President Trump’s cognitive health amidst media speculation and scrutiny. Jackson’s assessment of Trump’s cognitive fitness was met with skepticism and criticism from mainstream media, a stark contrast to what Jackson perceives as the current media’s leniency towards President Biden.

Jackson has been vocal about his concerns regarding President Biden’s fitness for office. He has previously stated that Biden is “not fit to be commander-in-chief and head of state,” asserting that “you don’t have to be a doctor to see it.”

Accusations of Hypocrisy

Jackson has accused Democrats and the mainstream media of hypocrisy, alleging a double standard in how the fitness of Trump and Biden has been treated. They argue that while the media aggressively questioned Trump’s cognitive health, they now dismiss or downplay concerns regarding Biden’s mental and physical condition.

As the debate approaches, Jackson’s call for a drug test adds another layer of drama and controversy to an already contentious election cycle. Whether the White House will respond to his recommendation remains to be seen, but the demand underscores ongoing concerns and debates about transparency and the health of the nation’s leaders.

Another Report Finds CBP and ICE Are Not Detaining or Removing Illegal Travelers

Published

June 21, 2024

By

A new report from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has highlighted ongoing issues with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processes at a major international airport. Between fiscal years 2021 and 2023, CBP agents at this airport released at least 383 inadmissible travelers into the U.S. who were legally prohibited from entering the country. Instead of detaining and processing them for removal, these travelers were released and ordered to return on their own recognizance, with 168 (44%) failing to return for their removal flights.

OIG-24-30-Jun24-RedactedDownload

The report, which redacts the name and location of the airport and regional offices, found that the regional CBP and ICE detention and removal processes were ineffective. ICE officials reportedly denied CBP’s overnight detention requests for inadmissible travelers due to “staffing and bed space limitations.” Additionally, CBP cited insufficient overtime funds to detain travelers after operating hours and logistical challenges in transferring travelers to another airport.

The investigation also revealed that CBP agents failed to issue “notices to appear” (NTAs) to 77 inadmissible travelers who did not return for their deportation flights. Issuing NTAs would have transferred these travelers to ICE for removal proceedings. CBP agents claimed they lacked an effective process to track inadmissible travelers who failed to return for their removal flights.

The OIG report also found that CBP reduced the number of staff responsible for issuing NTAs, contributing to a backlog of unissued NTAs for identified inadmissible travelers. This report follows previous OIG findings that CBP agents were not properly screening and vetting noncitizens released into the country, including known and suspected terrorists.

Despite claims of inadequate funding, Congress has increased CBP funding by $2.98 billion since fiscal 2021. However, the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security identified consistent misuse and abuse of taxpayer resources by DHS, particularly through its failure to detain illegal aliens and use ICE detention resources as intended.

Under the Biden administration, ICE has not used detention facilities at full capacity, costing taxpayers between $1.3 billion and $1.43 billion annually. The administration’s fiscal 2024 budget requested significant cuts to CBP and ICE operations compared to fiscal 2023 levels. In contrast, the previous administration’s fiscal 2021 budget requested 60,000 ICE beds, whereas the Biden administration requested 32,500 and 25,000 beds for fiscal 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has faced criticism for these policies. In a recent House Homeland Security budget hearing, U.S. Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., challenged Mayorkas on his request for fewer ICE detention beds than Congress funded. Despite being given more money than requested, Mayorkas has claimed that DHS lacks the financial resources needed to secure the southern border.

Since January 2021, over 11 million illegal entries have been recorded, including those who evaded capture. In the first six months of fiscal 2024, more than 1.7 million illegal entries were reported. In February, Mayorkas became the first sitting cabinet member in U.S. history to be impeached after claiming for years that the southern border was secure. In April, he admitted that there was a crisis at the southern border.

The OIG report underscores the need for improved processes and resources to address the ongoing challenges at the U.S. border and ensure the effective detention and removal of inadmissible travelers.
