[Daily Wire] Classified documents from President Joe Biden’s tenure as Vice President keep turning up — in places ranging from his office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement to the garage at his Wilmington home — and Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) has just four questions he wants answered.
Kennedy joined hosts Sandra Smith and John Roberts Thursday on Fox News’ "America Reports" to discuss the still-unfolding situation — and the fact that Attorney General Merrick Garland had already moved to appoint a special counsel to investigate.

I think he was just supposed to say he would be healthy enough to run, not actually believe it. Maybe Jill the Chef is pushing it and reminding him?
Right on time. “They” only needed/wanted FJB until 20 Jan 23. Now the new guy can rule for 10 years.
Yup. Good thing the smarhtist people in the world thought Harris would be that body. Think of this moment as a moment that is about great momentum.
[Gateway] Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson, the sub genius who previously claimed Guam will tip over, said the classified documents found at Joe Biden’s home may have been planted.
"I’m suspicious of the timing of it. I’m also aware of the fact that things can be planted on people — places and things can be planted — things can be planted in places and then discovered conveniently. That may be what has occurred here. I’m not ruling that out," Hank Johnson said of the classified documents found in Joe Biden’s garage.

OOPS! someone forgot to tell Rep. Johnson. that JB admitted already to illegally stowing the classified doc's in his "locked" garage next to his sports car and etc.
BTW: Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson hails from the Metro Atlanta area where they can't votes.

I think there is a good chance they were planted, Hank. Wasn't that a feature of putting an amnesiac boob into office? Because it sounds like something he would do when not hiding money in books "because the help keeps going through my wallet".

Skid - I've been asking that sort of question for almost a decade now - 'if you're stupid, do you know you're stupid?' I always treated it as an amusing sort of conundrum, but it's not!
This guy blamed his 8 week absence on having to care for 2 premis, like his wife had a tough pregnancy and they needed the time to be removed from the incubator and adjust to life with surprise twins.
Reality is he and some dude ordered 2 babies from Yelp and they showed up with 5 minutes left to go in the episode of I Am Jazz.
I guaranfuckintee you if it were my wife and I in that position, and my wife, feeding them formula, heard that there is a formula shortage, would have told me she'd be fine, get my bum ass to work, and get those babies taken care of.
This guy skips home for some Euro Trash Rave and grabs some formula from Germany.
[JustTheNews] University of Pennsylvania, which hosted the Penn Biden Center where classified documents were found in November, received $47.7 million from China in the three years when Biden was affiliated with it.
The University of Pennsylvania, the Ivy League institution which collected tens of millions of dollars from China while paying Joe Biden and hosting his foreign policy think tank, successfully pressured the Biden Justice Department to end an FBI counterespionage program targeting Beijing's increasing influence within U.S. academia.
Attorney General Merrick Garland shut down the FBI's so-called China initiative in February 2022 shortly after more than 160 members of the University of Pennsylvania faculty signed and made public an open letter demanding the program be shuttered, on the grounds that it amounted to racial profiling. The faculty letter was part of a larger university battle against the program.
"We acknowledge the importance to the United States of protecting both intellectual property and information that is essential to our national and economic security," read the letter made public on Feb. 9. "We understand that concerns about Chinese government sanctioned activities including intellectual property theft and economic espionage are important to address.
"We believe, however, that the China Initiative has deviated significantly from its claimed mission: it is harming the United States' research and technology competitiveness and it is fueling biases that, in turn, raise concerns about racial profiling."
A handful of left-leaning universities, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, had also previously appealed to the DOJ to close down the program.
Two weeks after the letter was sent, Garland announced the termination of the program, sending shockwaves through federal law enforcement.
The DOJ's own website still includes, to this day, a lengthy recitation of criminal cases the 4-year-old program had brought against members of academia who were working with China — either on espionage charges or failure to disclose foreign monies, as is required by law.
Just a month prior to the Garland decision, FBI Director Christopher Wray traveled to the Reagan presidential library to give a speech pleading for the government to devote more attention and resources to combating China's devastating influence inside the United States. He specifically cited cases where Beijing had used university academics to do its bidding. The FBI boss claimed China's espionage has become "more brazen, [and] more damaging."
"China's government has the global reach and presence of a great nation, but it refuses to act the part and too often uses its capabilities to steal and threaten, rather than to cooperate and build," he argued. "That theft, those threats, are happening right here in America, literally every day."
Just the News reached out to both the Justice Department, to confirm whether Penn ever officially lobbied the DOJ directly, and also to the university itself. Neither institution responded.
Penn has long ties to both the Biden family and China. Its former president, Amy Gutmann, for instance, was named by the president in 2021 to be his ambassador to Germany.
During her Senate confirmation, Gutmann acknowledged the university took money from Chinese interests but insisted it did not affect the school's values and that the university even rejected creating a Confucius Institute on campus funded by entities tied to the Chinese government.
"What I do know, and what I make sure of, is that no gifts, no contracts, to the University of Pennsylvania are allowed to threaten academic freedom, are allowed to threaten national security," she testified. "We do no classified research."
Penn is in the limelight now after the revelation Monday that classified documents from Biden's vice presidency — including top secret items and intelligence on Ukraine and Iran — were found last November in Biden's old office at the Penn Biden Center think tank, where he worked in D.C. from 2017 to 2019.
The White House claimed the memos were found by lawyers cleaning out Biden's old office. Multiple news organizations reported Wednesday that more classified documents were found at a second location used by Biden.
The university has said it did not solicit any donations specifically to fund the Penn Biden Center, funding it out of its operating budget while also paying Biden a handsome sum to be an honorary professor who did not teach classes but made occasional appearance or lectures.
Biden's tax returns reviewed by Just the News show Penn paid the future president $911,644 between spring 2017 and spring 2019, when he stepped aside to run for president.

“The university has said it did not solicit any donations specifically to fund the Penn Biden Center, funding it out of its operating budget while also paying Biden a handsome sum to be an honorary professor who did not teach classes but made occasional appearance or lectures.”
This statement is underwhelming do to the use of the word solicit and the fungibility of money. They would not have had to solicit donations for funding if it was all presented to them as a package deal by Joe’s handlers or by CCP surrogates. Realistically, what Ivy League University would not want to be associated with a politician famous for plagiarism.

[IsraelTimes] A high-profile US Capitol riot trial opens for former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio
...who has a long career as an undercover government informant...
and four lieutenants charged with seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors say was a desperate plot by far-right turbans to keep Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... out of the White House.
Jurors begin hearing attorneys’ opening statements more than two years after Proud Boys members joined a pro-Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... mob in attacking the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The trial comes on the heels of the seditious conspiracy convictions of two leaders of the Oath Keepers, another far-right krazed killer group. Several other Oath Keepers members were charged with plotting to stop the peaceful transfer of presidential power from Trump, a Republican, to Biden, a Democrat.
The case against Tarrio and his four associates is one of the most consequential to emerge from the January 6 riot at the Capitol. The trial will provide an in-depth look at a group that has become an influential force in mainstream Republican politics.
Defense lawyers have said there was never any plan to go into the Capitol or stop Congress’ certification of the electoral vote won by Biden. And they have accused prosecutors of trying to silence potential defense witnesses. Tarrio’s lawyers have not said whether he will take the stand in his defense.
Tarrio’s co-defendants are Ethan Nordean, of Auburn, Washington, who was a Proud Boys chapter president; Joseph Biggs, of Ormond Beach, Florida, a self-described Proud Boys organizer; Zachary Rehl, who was president of the Proud Boys chapter in Philadelphia; and Dominic Pezzola, a Proud Boy member from Rochester, New York.
[Breitbart] Hunter Biden owned President Joe Biden’s Delaware house in 2018, where the elder Biden has now been discovered to have stashed classified documents, according to a document unearthed by New York Post’s Miranda Devine on Thursday.
On a document titled, "background screening request," it appears Hunter checked a box to indicate he owned Joe Biden’s home located in Wilmington, Delaware. The document is signed July, 2018.
In 2017, Joe Biden left the White House and apparently stored classified documents inside his garage, along with two other locations. The first batch of documents found are alleged to contain information pertaining to Ukraine and Iran, according to CNN.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has appointed a special counsel to investigate the mishandling of classified information. "Okay, I appointed one. Happy?? He's sight-impaired and very busy so it will take a couple years for results"
The Biden family business has conducted many deals in Ukraine. In 2017, Hunter was paid $83,000 per month to be on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. Hunter was appointed to the board of Burisma in 2014 with no prior experience with the energy sector or Ukraine.
In 2015, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine if the Ukrainian government did not fire the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. In 2017, Hunter’s salary was cut in half when Joe Biden left the White House as then-Vice President, having himself visited Ukraine six times in seven years.

One has to wonder if Hunter's Painting $$$$ is just a cover for possible copies of the ILLEGALLY stored/kept classified doc's?
But then I also have to ask why weren't these Classified Doc's discovered by the Secret Service teams over the years? Since they do anal level detailed safety inspections of every location frequently. Or was it one of those Sgt Schultz kinda things?
#3
BTW: Having the Biden appointed DOJ Attorney General Merrick Garland appoint a special counsel to investigate this is pretty much insures a slap and not a full well earned legal stomping. Unless of course the plan is to out Biden for the 2024 election and bring in someone Obama related / approved.
#4
What have you missed? I would only suggest the very real possibility of something much worse. Something so egregious that even the media can't bury it. Something they hope this will distract from via scandal fatigue.
The part where Hunter carries copies of classified docs to all of his sleazy foreign contacts.

A distinct possibility. They've buried so much of Biden's shit for so long that you have to wonder how this little scandal is coming to the surface now...after the midterms. Gotta clear the deck for Big Mike or Dippity Do.

I don’t think that a spy would keep and pass paper documents. Storage of valuable material in a garage as if it a bag of old golf clubs is not what spies do. Joe is not in any cognitive shape for espionage. Likely, he brought home everything that he thought would help him draft his heroic autobiography - or what he thought would allow his ghost writer to spice it up a little. The docs that will never be disclosed will be Ukraine, China and Bin Laden stuff. What he took and how it was stored is highly illegal. Regardless, Biden will get the Hillary pass. Everyone who shills for Biden by putting forward false narratives or false comparisons between what he has done here and what Trump had at Mar-A-Lago should lose all credibility and any security clearance immediately.

This was Hunter's residence as well so he had full access to those confidential government documents.
[HotAir] Congratulations, Joe Biden — your scandal has officially become a "big f*****g deal," to quote you directly. After getting what turned out to be three separate notices that Biden had illegally retained and improperly stored classified information for six years, Attorney General Merrick Garland finally had enough. Garland announced minutes earlier that he has appointed a special counsel for a deeper investigation — matching up with the same step he took a month ago for a probe into Donald Trump’s alleged violations of federal law on classified material. Biden will invoke the Schultz defense.
The timeline changed today, too. At first, all we knew is that the Penn Center documents were discovered on November 2, and the Biden claim that his team checked his other locations immediately afterward. If so, they took their time; the DoJ didn’t get informed about Biden’s garage documents until December 20, according to Garland, and then had to update that last week to include the classified document found in "an adjacent room." Not only does that sound much less organized, it leaves the impression that there may still be more to find, too.
Up until now, Garland had assigned US Attorney John Lausch, a Trump appointee but mainly a career federal prosecutor, to handle this as a normal DoJ investigation. Garland sounded as though he would have preferred to keep Lausch in place, but Lausch recommended the appointment of a special counsel after the second and third discoveries.
Instead, Garland has appointed Robert Hur as a formal special counsel, emphasizing that the former US Attorney would not work within the supervisory structure of the DoJ. Hur is also a Trump-era appointee, the NY Times notes: More at the link.

[JustTheNews] After a state court ruled Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s
...yet another of the Soros-backed Democratic district attorneys who reoriented prosecutions from convicting the guilty to protecting fashionable categories of society — the ones disproportionately criminal, as it happens, and therefore historically disproportionately end up in prison...
time in office did not constitute misbehavior, the Pennsylvania Senate has voted for an indefinite delay of his impeachment trial.
After a state court ruled that Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s time in office did not constitute misbehavior, the Pennsylvania Senate has voted for an indefinite delay of his impeachment trial.
State senators voted 28-20 on Monday to delay impeachment indefinitely while readopting the rules of impeachment.
The trial was set to take plan in late January but no new date has been proposed.
In early January, the Commonwealth Court ruled the actions of Krasner alleged in the articles of impeachment did not rise to the level of “misbehavior in office.” It did not, however, dismiss the impeachment proceedings.
The House voted to impeach Krasner in November based on Republican lawmakers’ arguments that Krasner failed to enforce the laws of Philadelphia and prosecute criminals, spurring a recent crime wave sweeping across the city. Though the House decided to impeach, the trial itself would be conducted by the Senate.
Other cities in the commonwealth, such as Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, have also seen a rise in crime – especially murder – but Philadelphia’s murder increase has stood out in comparison. It’s unclear when a date for the trial would be established.

You have got to repeal the Constitutional amendment that authorized income tax in the first place, otherwise the 'national' sales tax is just another tax on top if you know how politicians act. BTW, we already have a national sales tax on gasoline.

Psst Joe -
All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills. - Article I, Section 7, US Constitution
They just don't have to fund the IRS (or Dept of Education, or the EPA, or....).

Memo to Kevin McCarthy:
