James Comer: National Archives Withholding 99.98% of Pages of Joe Biden's Alias Emails

Comer: Archives Withholding 99.98% of Pages of Joe Biden Alias Emails

James Comer says the Biden administration is obstructing the House impeachment inquiry by withholding 99.98 percent of emails from Joe Biden.

The emails, thousands of which are under aliases, are in the possession of the National Archives and are relevant to the impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. The alias accounts raise concern because they are unusual, suspicious, and "shady," experts and lawmakers previously told Breitbart News. The use of a private email for official business is discouraged by law.

Comer told Just the News on Tuesday:

The National Archives has identified 82,000 pages of emails where then-Vice President Joe Biden used a fake name, but the Biden White House has only cleared 14 pages in response to multiple Oversight Committee requests for documents related to then-Vice President Biden.

"This lack of transparency from the self-identified 'most transparent administration in history' is looking more like obstruction every day," he continued. "Congress needs full access to these records and others as part of our investigation into Joe Biden and the Biden family's corruption."

"The House Oversight Committee will continue to use the power of the gavel to obtain records necessary to our investigation," he concluded.

Via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request status report, the Archives divulged on Monday 82,000 pages of emails from private alias accounts that Joe Biden sent or received during his vice presidency. The 82,000 pages appear to match the previous trove of 5,400 emails and records linked to Joe Biden's email aliases reported in August.

Joe Biden used aliases "Robert Peters," "Robin Ware," and "JRB Ware." Joe Biden also used a fourth alias (auks) to communicate with his family in 2010, Breitbart News reported in September.

Translation:
White house quietly admits Obama has been fulfilling his 3rd term as president in an announcement that comes as a complete shock to absolutely nobody

 

[Typhonis]

You would think an Obama presidency would be better than this.

Obama had a scandal what felt like every month. He just had infinite fall guys and a media glued to his balls.

I wonder if he will be viewed negatively by future historians.

Are you kidding? He was insanely corrupt.

The media just backed him to the hilt and constantly called anyone that disagreed with him racist. That by itself set back race relations by... decades at least.

 

[Cherico]

Honestly he will be viewed as being pretty forgettable and slightly corrupt. He didn't preside over any of what I consider to be truely big events, or anything truely crazy. Trump is more likely to be remembered as the begining of a populist backlash to an increasingly out of touch techocractic elite, and will most likely be looked at as one of the many chances the country had at meaninful reform that was ignored until it was too late and everything went to shit.

The other really scummy thing is how Obama is using Biden to finish his agenda while avoiding all the blame.

As we know, it's Obama who warned not to underestimate "Joe's ability to fuck things up!", so he knows very well he's a geriatric, doddering, half-dead corpse who makes the perfect steward-turned-scapegoat for when everything goes south.

Once Biden's outlived his usefulness, he'll throw him under the bus — all while his own reputation stays (more or less) clean and free of the flak Joe's getting. Frankly, that's pretty cutthroat, and there are times when I almost want to pity Biden for the fact Obama's using him this way.

then you remember all of the shitty things hes done and it all goes away right?

Pretty much.

Also, it's not like anyone forced Biden to become Obama's VP. As far as I know, he made the choice all his own — and now, he's beginning to feel the consequences. Whatever else, I guess certain people really do deserve each other sometimes: A boorish joke of a No. 2 for Obama, and a cutthroat boss who'd throw him under the bus for Biden.

1. obama is actually responsible for a LOT of the shit we are seeing today. personally responsible. he is actually competent and effective. he gets things done (For fucking us over)

2. "democracy" is all about fall guys. we "win" by removing one parasite and replacing it with the next one who is a palette swapped clone of the previous guy.

 

[Zyobot]

Zombie Joe fucking things up again:




I swear, every time Andrew posts, he gets more and more irate as he picks apart Biden's tomfoolery! 😩

Not to make this a dogpile but why? Even most left-wing sources will quietly admit that he was an empty suit with marginally more charisma than the nearest Republican. Actually, to briefly expand upon this...



It is fifteen minutes and worth watching over dinner or laundry, but to summarize Obama was less a politician and more a celebrity. He rarely interacted with the meat and bones of Washington politics, preferring to parade around with tv stars and the media. And since he was a creation of America's metastasized fourth estate they in turn refused to even pretend he was capable of a flaw since doing so would admit that they were not, in fact, perfect themselves. He blew off political advice and the needs of his own side to do things his way in order to glorify his own hollow legacy and cynically undercut the Republicans after promising to be above such games. And don't take my or Razor's biased takes on that as truth either, commentators as widely spaced as Peter Zeihan or the Breaking Points gaggle have all commented on it and his failures did a lot to shake the American left out of their West Wing phase.

I agree with 90% of what you say.

Where I disagree: Obama was VERY charismatic. That was his strength.

He was also highly competent as a political actor.

He was corrupt, and his policies sucked. I think that was by design, out of self interest. But he could get a lot done, and using his charisma, get a lot of people over to his side.

I sure as fuck fell for it. I totally bought all that hope and change bullshit. Just to get neo-con style Warhawk mixed with race baiting and the birth of the wider SJW movement and destabilizing of the entire middle east.

His presidency was a disaster. We are still suffering from its effects. He was charismatic and competent, though.

 

[nemo1986]

I never fell for it even back in '08. I knew that he did not have the experience to be president. Maybe if he had a term as a governor but not as he was.

 

[Terthna]

Honestly he will be viewed as being pretty forgettable and slightly corrupt.

Which, considering his ego, would probably piss him off more than being remembered as a tyrant.

I suspect that Obama will be remembered more like Woodrow Wilson if we allow the truth to be forgotten. Aka someone whose vaguely remembered for some political treaties and so on but for people who actually know how much he made a mess of things for generations to come, utterly loathed. So sort of a less glamorized FDR.

He's ruled just before a major paradime shift so he's going to be overshadowed. Its just the way of things people remember the more interesting what if times of history and his presidency is just before a major shatter point as it were.

Not many people talk about Franklin Pierce or James Buchanan. They do go on about Lincoln though.
