‘Incredibly suspicious’ says Senator
Hunter Biden email seemed based on classified info:
Jan 25,2023 (DID Hur ask?)

A Hunter Biden email about Ukraine from 2014 looks ‘suspiciously’ like it could have come from classified information, a leading GOP senator has claimed.

Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said the April 12, 2014 message to one of the first son’s business partners resembles documents that the State Department gives members of the Senate when they travel overseas. “It reads like one of those scene-setters — highly detailed information in terms of Ukraine,” Johnson told Fox News Tuesday.

The email from Hunter to Devon Archer includes a granular 22-point memo the Biden scion described as “thoughts after doing some research.” Those “thoughts” include the prescient predictions that Petro Poroshenko would be elected Ukraine’s president the following month and that “some sort of decentralization will likely occur in the East.”

I wrote this elsewhere.

With all due respect, in a company they ALWAYS “seize” the employee’s work papers and laptop when they’re fired. This is SOP. Unless there is a contract, you are an employee at will and all “your” files, customer lists, electronic documents, presentations, and laptop are in fact not yours but CORPORATE PROPERTY.

The process, too, is SOP: the employee is often told by their manager that their job is being eliminated, HR is there to explain ongoing benefits, healthcare, severance, outplacement services, and then the employee is either escorted out or left alone to leave if there isn’t a risk they’ll flip out. Their network access is disabled, ID badge is collected, and (if the company is ethical) they’ll offer the employee the option of coming back after-hours to pack up their personal effects with their manager or security standing by, or the company will box up their stuff and send it home.

Thus, it’s not Herridge’sintellectual property unless she had a contractual agreement with her employer to retain all IP rights in her reporting and work. Such an arrangement, by the way, is VERY unusual. Not impossible but unusual. If that WAS the case, her lawyers would be all over that and we’d probably have that leaked to the press. Further, CBS would know darn well it’s her property and would tread lightly when firing her.

Also, Herridge was fired with hundreds of randos. The only entities singling her out are Turley via The Hill and the NY Post. And I would submit to you, the people ranting about “OMG they took HER stuff” are at best ignorant about what happens in the process of firing people.

I DO agree, journalism isn’t plumbing, contractor work, or automobile manufacturing. It’s actually less important. Nobody writes a pearl-clutching saga in the NY Post when a guy who worked for decades loyally has his job eliminated. Nobody sheds a tear that he couldn’t bring home a few really cool reports he wrote that made the company money.
Again, CBS is scum and it is totally possible Bidet wants his hands on her papers and laptop. If that’s at play, that’s criminal AND a 1st Amendment violation. It’s also worth noting, Ms Herridge did some good reporting and she donated part of her liver to her infant son (most of the media would probably abort their kid).

That said, this saga is about a member of the MSM who is on TV and lives in Manhattan, who earned a Bachelor’s degree from Harvard College and a Master’s degree in journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism…

…No disrespect meant to Ms. Herridge, but on paper she’s one of the “elite.” My electrician and mechanic are more valuable to this nation than a talking head. Forgive me if I don’t get my knickers in a twist.

Next up will be bodies found who mysteriously died suddenly. They will be the “outed” sources, eliminated by the Deep State.

I guess from now on reporters know they have to keep critical information in notes on something they only have access to.

Interesting that neither Woodward nor Bernstein were threatened with contempt for not revealing Deep Throat’s name. I guess it’s (D)ifferent...

FBI searched U of Penn’s “Biden Center” in November
after President’s lawyers found 10 classified documents there
More revelations emerge despite Biden White House claims of “transparency”
Daily Mail UK ^ | 31 January 2023 | UPDATED: 31 January 2023 | By GEOFF EARLE, DEPUTY U.S. POLITICAL EDITOR FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The FBI searched Biden’s former office at his U of Penn’s DC think tank “The Biden Center.” It came days after Biden’s lawyers identified classified material there.

White House has claimed ‘transparency’ as agents also searched Biden’s Wilmington home for classified documents.

Investigators from the FBI searched the office that Biden maintained at his DC think tank – days after his own lawyer identified classified material there, it was revealed Tuesday.

The White House and the Biden Justice Department did not disclose the search, which was reported by CBS News, despite the Biden White House’s claim of ‘transparency’ over the rolling discoveries of classified material.

It was not immediately known if any additional documents marked classified were uncovered during the search.

On November 2, days before the mid-term elections, a Biden attorney discovered 10 documents marked ‘classified,’ then contacted the National Archives, which alerted the Biden Justice Department.

’ legendary history that includes figures from Murrow to Walter Cronkite to Roger Mudd.’

I wonder why they didn’t mention Dan Rather?

She was one of the few honest reporters out there. Tried to play it straight. Her writing was very objective.

CBS also turned its own reporter James Sanders into the FBI when Sanders acquired a piece of fabric from TWA 800 and had it analyzed for missile fuel residue. Sanders gave a sample to CBS to independently verify, but CBS turned it over to the FBI and Sanders was arrested, tried, and convicted of stealing aircraft wreckage.

Sanders' arrest added to the conspiracy theories that CBS was providing cover for the Clinton administration's center fuel tank explosion explanation.

Dan was a very hot shot type of guy too quick to judge a situation as far as Uncle Walter was concerned.

No outcry exists over this. Former journalists. Remaining anonymous. Nope, the media works for the Democrat Party.

I’m waiting for the Deep State connection to be exposed…… So much for 1st Amendment rights for the press Libs. The agenda is too important to let the truth get in the way…… Be seeing you! Prisoner # 6….

This Gomer Comer. Releasing items that end up false. He should keep quiet until they are done.

Releasing bits and pieces allows the Dems time to discredit.
He's like the Democrats with Trump. “Any day now, we've got him now”.

Close the border. Stop funding foreign wars. Prioritize the taxpayers.
People know the Biden's have always been crooked and do not care about that as much as inflation.

She was about to release her research on the Biden Crime Family. Only explanation. Damning evidence.
