A ‘Cover-Up’: Republicans Ask Why Discovery of Classified Biden Documents Were Not Revealed Until AFTER the Midterms; GOP Rep.: : Impeach Joe Biden for Mishandling Classified Documents, ‘Vice Presidents Cannot Declassify Docs’

By Daily Mail. Republicans on Tuesday demanded to know why the fact President Joe Biden had classified documents from when he was vice president at his think tank wasn’t revealed until after the midterm elections with one calling it a ‘cover up.’

‘When you cover up something before an election,’ Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday morning ‘that is probably a point that needs to be highlighted.’ . . .

The White House announced late Monday that Biden’s lawyers discovered 10 classified documents in his former office at a Washington think tank on November 2.

That was six days before the midterm election, where Republicans won control of the House but not by the landslide many had predicted.

The announcement of such a discovery likely would have a been a political explosion in the election akin to the FBI announcing in 2016, eleven days before the election, the discovery of additional Hillary Clinton emails.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Impeach Joe Biden for Mishandling Classified Documents, ‘Vice Presidents Cannot Declassify Docs’

By Breitbart. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said President Joe Biden should be impeached for mishandling classified documents reportedly related to Ukraine and Iran dated between 2013 and 2016.

Greene explained the stark difference in Biden’s mishandling of documents compared to the alleged claim that former President Donald Trump safely stored documents at Mar-a-Lago.

“This is a very serious situation. Vice presidents cannot declassify documents. And the fact that Joe Biden is in possession of classified documents when he was vice president, signals we need to have a serious investigation into this,” Greene told C-Span.

“There is a true two tier justice system stemming from the department of justice in the way President Trump has been treated — who is allowed to classify and declassify documents. Presidents can do that,” she said.

“I’ll echo again, impeach Biden,” she added. (Read more from “Marjorie Taylor Greene: Impeach Joe Biden for Mishandling Classified Documents, ‘Vice Presidents Cannot Declassify Docs’” HERE)

Mexican President Amlo Praises Biden for Halting Border Wall: ‘Thank You’

Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) thanked President Joe Biden for halting the construction of border wall along the United States-Mexico border at a North American summit on Tuesday.

Alongside Biden and Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, AMLO praised Biden’s immediate halt to border wall construction along the southern border. The day after taking office, Biden signed an executive order that stopped all wall construction that had been underway by former President Trump.

“You, President Biden, you are the first president of the United States in a very long time that has not built, not even one meter, of wall,” AMLO said during remarks at the summit. “In that, we thank you for that sir. Although some might not like it, although the conservatives don’t like it.” (Read more from “Mexican President Amlo Praises Biden for Halting Border Wall: ‘Thank You’” HERE)

Questions About Biden’s Classified Materials Scandal

. . .Given the furor over last year’s classified documents scandal involving former President Trump, and the heavily-covered raid at Trump’s Florida residence, this story amounts to both a legal concern for Biden, as well as an awkward political moment for Trump critics — Biden included — who leaned heavily into that controversy. It’s true that there are meaningful differences between the Trump episode and this emerging issue. But it doesn’t really matter which one might be ‘better’ or ‘worse’ than the other if both involved legally-problematic mishandling of sensitive secrets. Based on current knowledge, the facts in Trump’s case are relatively ‘worse,’ but that has no bearing on potential misconduct or illegal conduct from Biden. On one hand, Trump had far more documents, improperly keeping some even after a protracted battle with the National Archives, which came knocking after noticing missing items. Biden’s team was apparently more proactive and cooperative after learning about their problem — if their account is accurate.

On the other hand, Biden’s classified documents originated during President Obama’s tenure in office, so Biden didn’t have the theoretical ability to have de-classified them himself, as he was Vice President at the time. Trump could have done so with his trove before hauling is to Mar-a-Lago, though there’s no evidence that he actually did. Both men’s sets of improperly-held classified documents were allegedly stored behind a locked door, unprotected by mandated protocols. Some questions:

(1) Biden’s team says the president is unaware of what is contained in the classified documents, didn’t know they were in his office, and did not review them before they were passed to National Archives authorities, who then contacted the Justice Department. If all of that is true, and some skepticism is in order, how did these materials make their way into a closet at Biden’s private office, and who put them there? If they’ve been sitting unsecured for years, who may have had access to them? These are questions that the Chicago-based US Attorney, a Trump appointee, is reportedly looking into.

(2) Between Hillary Clinton’s shameless and deceitful criminality in this realm, and now the revelations about the current and former presidents, one might wonder if any high ranking US officials from a certain generation followed the rules on the handling and storing of classified materials?

(3) If the Biden documents were found on November 2 (and turned over the following morning), nearly a week before the contentious midterm elections, how and why was that discovery suppressed until after the election? Even the New York Times seems curious about that context:

Classified Documents From Biden Vice Presidency Surface at Think Tank

Classified documents from President Joe Biden’s vice presidency reportedly surfaced at a Biden-aligned think tank and triggered an investigation from the Justice Department.

About 10 documents from his vice presidential office were located by Biden’s lawyers on Nov. 2, before the midterm elections, at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington. The discovery prompted Attorney General Merrick Garland to task the U.S. attorney in Chicago to investigate the matter, CBS reported.

“The discovery of these documents was made by the President’s attorneys,” Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president, told CBS in a statement. “The documents were not the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives.”

After discovering the materials, Biden’s legal team informed the president. The documents are now believed to be held in a secure location, according to the report. The Penn Biden Center was founded in 2018 and is located roughly a mile from the White House. The think tank has a foreign policy bent and is associated with the University of Pennsylvania.

Sources Say Biden’s Border Visit Orchestrated to Avoid Chaotic Reality; Joe Biden Travels to U.S.-Mexico Border for First Time

By Fox News. President Biden got a watered-down version of the border crisis in El Paso, Texas on Sunday, as the number of illegal immigrants coming across the U.S.-Mexico line appears to have plummeted since December, according to reports.

Not only that, but the Central Processing Center, which was previously overwhelmed with immigrants, is no longer at its capacity of about 1,000 migrants, and the camps of migrants have suddenly vanished, at least according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection sources.

Leading up to Biden’s visit, the Border Patrol union slammed the president because of reports that state and local authorities were ramping up detentions and cleaning up the migrant encampments ahead of the commander in chief’s arrival.

“El Paso is being cleared up as if nothing unusual ever happened there,” the National Border Patrol Council tweeted on Friday. “Just in time for Biden’s ‘visit to the border.’”

The tweet was posted after a report by El Paso Matters that said “large crowds” of migrants had been detained in El Paso by Border Patrol agents overnight on Wednesday. (Read more from “Sources Say Biden’s Border Visit Orchestrated to Avoid Chaotic Reality” HERE)

Biden Travels to U.S.-Mexico Border for First Time

By Daily Caller. President Joe Biden travelled to the U.S. southern border for the first time on Sunday, landing in El Paso, Texas, amid the record-breaking number of illegal immigrants crossing during his presidency.

El Paso was in chaos hours before Biden’s arrival, with hundreds of illegal immigrants sleeping on the streets, and some illegally charging residents for free parking spots and stealing cell phones, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported. The number of illegal immigrants coming to the city has dropped “since the peak in December” when it was “2,000 a day,” to a current number of 700 a day, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on the flight over.

Fiscal year 2022 recorded 2.3 million Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encounters with illegal immigrants, the most in recorded U.S. history.

Biden spoke with Republican Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott after he stepped off Air Force One, and made his way to a vehicle that drove him to the Bridge of the Americas Port of Entry for a tour with CBP agents. The agents showed the president how they find illegal objects, like people and drugs, in vehicles crossing the border.

He then walked by the border wall that separates El Paso from Juarez, Mexico, with Border Patrol agents. (Read more from “Biden Travels to U.S.-Mexico Border for First Time” HERE)

Biden Prepares 2024 Re-Election Launch: Report

President Joe Biden is reportedly gearing up to declare a 2024 re-election bid after months of speculation about whether the 80-year-old Democrat had another campaign in him.

The Hill cited multiple sources reporting Saturday that Biden’s intentions could be made public sometime in the next several weeks, and a formal announcement could follow in April. Some insiders emphasized February as a month to watch, around the time of the State of the Union, though the report stressed that the timing depends on an invite from the speaker of the House to address Congress.

“I think it’s all about timing at this point,” one Biden ally told the news outlet. “It seems like he’s all in. It’s not really ‘if’ he runs anymore.”

If Biden does run again, he might find himself in a general election rematch against former President Donald Trump, who announced another bid for the White House in November. (Read more from “Biden Prepares 2024 Re-Election Launch: Report” HERE)

Texas Governor Hand-Delivers Biden a Letter on El Paso Tarmac Denouncing His Border ‘Failure’

Gov. Greg Abbott made a surprise visit to El Paso to deliver a note to President Joe Biden as he stepped off Air Force One for his brief visit to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Abbott made the appearance on the tarmac as the plane taxied in from the runway and was the first person to greet Biden and three Democratic members of Congress as they deplaned Sunday afternoon.

Abbott handed Biden a one-page letter with a list of actions the Biden administration ought to take to reduce the number of immigrants attempting to cross the southern border after another record-high year. The letter criticized Biden’s first presidential border trip as “$20 billion too little and two years too late.”

“This chaos is the direct result of your failure to enforce the immigration laws that Congress enacted,” Abbott wrote in the letter. “Your open-border policies have emboldened the cartels, who grow wealthy by trafficking deadly fentanyl and even human beings. Texans are paying an especially high price for your failure, sometimes with their very lives, as local leaders from your own party will tell you if given the chance.” (Read more from “Texas Governor Hand-Delivers Biden a Letter on El Paso Tarmac Denouncing His Border ‘Failure'” HERE)

Son of George Soros Has Made Repeated Trips to White House

A son of left-wing billionaire and philanthropist George Soros has made repeated visits to President Joe Biden’s White House as he boosts Democrats with campaign donations and has promoted his frequent meetings with Democratic politicians, records show.

George Soros, founder of the major liberal grant-making Open Society Foundations network, has often kept a low profile while influencing Democratic politics through the bankrolling of myriad causes. Alexander Soros, his 37-year-old son who has been more public on social media about his cozy relationships with lawmakers, has made six separate trips to the White House since Biden assumed office and gained influence with Democrats in the last several years.

The younger Soros’s visits to the White House have been between October 2021 and December 2022, according to a Washington Examiner review of White House visitor logs. Two of these meetings were with White House chief of staff Ron Klain. Alexander visited with Hazel Castillo, a staff assistant for the National Security Council, and Madeline Strasser, a former White House adviser, visitor logs show.

On April 8, 2022, Alexander was in attendance at a White House celebration on the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, visitor logs show. Alexander also scored an invite to a ritzy December state dinner in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron, according to the guest list.

Biden Blames Republicans for Border Invasion

President Joe Biden blamed the Republican Party during a Thursday White House speech for the southern border invasion.

Biden’s statement that Republicans are to blame for the border crisis was followed by a claim that partisan divisiveness has prevented immigration solutions. Under Democrat rule, 2.2 million illegal migrants have overrun the border in fiscal year 2022, a 33 percent increase from 2021.

“I sent congress a comprehensive piece of legislation that would completely overhaul what has been a broken immigration system for a long time,” Biden said.

Biden alleged preventing illegal immigration is a priority but Republicans have opposed his plan.

“Cracking down on illegal immigration, strengthening legal immigration and protecting dreamers, those with temporary protective status, like farm workers, are part of the fabric of our nation,” Biden continued. “But congressional republicans have refused to consider my plan and they rejected my retest for an additional $3.5 billion to secure the border and funds for 2,000 new asylum personnel.” (Read more from “Biden Blames Republicans for Border Invasion” HERE)

Biden ‘Working Out the Details’ To Go to Southern Border

President Joe Biden said Wednesday he has the “intention” to go to the southern border when he visits Mexico City from Jan. 9 to Jan. 10 for the North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS).

Biden confirmed he would be making the trip to the border, and that he’s “working out the details now,” while speaking to reporters outside of Air Force One on his return trip from Kentucky.

When he got back to the White House, Biden said he wanted to see “peace and security” and is “going to see what’s going on” at the border. He said he’ll give a speech on the topic Thursday.

Biden has not gone to the border since 2008 when he drove by as vice president, former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in 2021.

Customs and Border Patrol has experienced record-breaking numbers of illegal migrant encounters during Biden’s presidency, with 2.3 million encounters recorded in fiscal year 2022.
