Sen. Joe Biden's son, Delaware Attorney General Joe Biden, III, made a big splash last June from afar when his office interrupted a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. in order to execute an arrest warrant against Larry Sinclair issued months earlier through a grand jury sealed indictment. As Sinclair was wrapping up his press conference where he laid out sex and drug allegations against Sen. Barack Obama, D.C. police, acting on an extradition order obtained by AG Biden, handcuffed Sinclair and took him into custody. He was held in a D.C. jail for days before Biden had him extradited to Delaware. This past week, Biden dropped felony charges against Sinclair without any fanfare. At the time of his initial arrest, the Wilmington News-Journal trumped up the arrest in a big news story. Sinclair complained that the newspaper reported facts in its original news story which never appeared in police or court documents. The newspaper's report today was very brief and referred to Sinclair as an "anti-Obama" blogger, making no mention of the connection of the Attorney General's son to Sen. Obama's vice presidential running mate, Sen. Joe Biden. The newspaper reports today:
Charges against a Barack Obama critic, who was arrested for allegedly using counterfeit money orders to pay for a three-week stay at a New Castle hotel in 2007, were dropped last week.
Larry Sinclair's Newark attorney, Fran E. Farren, said he and his client were happy that prosecutors dismissed the felony charge against Sinclair.
"All along, it was our position that this case was more 'civil' than 'criminal' and that Mr. Sinclair was guilty of no criminal act," Farren said.
"Mr. Sinclair has asserted his innocence since he was initially arrested and we are quite pleased that we were able to convince the state to dismiss the charge against him. It was the proper thing to do."
Sinclair, of Duluth, Minn., has made charges about Obama involving sex and drugs on his blog. Sinclair was arrested in June on an outstanding warrant after a Washington, D.C., news conference.
According to Delaware State Police and Delaware Superior Court records, Sinclair paid for a three-week stay at a Rodeway Inn with $2,400 in money orders.
The hotel manager later told police Wachovia refused to honor them.
The newspaper quotes Sinclair's attorney as making the point that this case had always been a civil case and should never have become a criminal case. Shockingly, Sinclair alleges that the key evidence upon which the sealed indictment was issued last February, the money orders in question, were never obtained by the AG's office until August, months after the indictment was obtained. Sinclair alleges that a state employee who is a strong supporter of Obama served as the grand jury foreman which returned the indictment against him. If this isn't a case of abuse of process, I don't know what is. Sadly, the liberals in this country who are fawning all over Obama care more about the rights of foreign, suspected terrorists being held at Gitmo than they do an American citizen like Sinclair. This story deserves the scrutiny of the mainstream media. Nobody is going to convince me that it was a mere coincidence that Biden's son would return a sealed indictment against Sinclair in February weeks after Sinclair surfaced with his charges against Obama, sit on the indictment for four months, spring it on Sinclair in the middle of his D.C. press conference at the NPC in a media-packed room, and then quietly drop all charges as soon as Sen. Joe Biden joined the Obama ticket. Stuff like this just doesn't happen. It's plotted and planned. It's got Obama/Axelrod Chicago politics written all over it.

Keeping you in the loop Ping
Oprah will have him on her show...but not until after Obama has served 8 years as President.
Funny, coimpare it to this story in Politico and the MSM scouring Wasilla right now trying to see if Palin had an affair:
Getting tired of the circus in Wasilla
My colleague Ken Vogel is on the ground in Alaska and turns in this report:
PALMER, Alaska The liberal blogosphere was abuzz Friday with news that a friend of Sarah and Todd Palin had tried to seal his divorce records.
Surely, the Netroots speculated, that friend must be the unnamed business partner whom this weeks edition of the National Enquirer alleges without proof so far was romantically linked to Palin. The McCain campaign’s characterization of the story as a “vicious lie” seemed to only fuel more speculation.
And then the moment of truth, as the motion to seal was denied.
The filings, housed in a district courthouse in this town about eight miles east of the Palins hometown of Wasilla, contained a lot of hot news presuming, that is, youre interested in the child-custody agreement reached by Scott Richter and his ex-wife Deborah Richter, or in the former couple’s holdings, which include a recreational property that Scott owns with Sarah and Todd Palin.
That hasnt stopped a stream of journalists and couriers from NBC, the Los Angeles Times, Court TV and other outlets (including this reporter, presently serving as Politicos Alaska bureau) from making their way to the Palmer courthouse to photocopy, at 25 cents a page, the 75 or so pages in the Richters marriage dissolution file.

I agree. There’s no such thing as coincidence in politics.
See post 6 for the monumental double standard
Not to mention the assistant DA threatened him with life in prison if he did not plead guilty.
So, Biden has one son who’s a corrupt state attorney general, and another who’s a lobbyist and a crook and is being sued for stealing $millions$ from his business partner. Oh yeah, and he was helped in that scam by Biden’s. Nice family, Biden. A bunch of real scumbags.
Just wait until the crack journalists from the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms start investigating all this. /sarc
"Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Joe Biden's Son Improperly Used His Authority as Attorney General to Cover Up a Homosexual Relationship and the Drug Use of the Republican Presidental Candidate, Barack Obama. An Investigation is Being Sought."
Biden?? No wonder he was picked for vp. What a scumbag crook. But don’t hold your breath to see this on MSNBC or CNN.
ROFLMAO. They fell for the diversion!
Delaware is a lot smaller than Oklahoma.
and
Sen. Biden’s son is the AG of Delaware. With that type of direct connect between someone who wants to be a gunshot away from the Presidency and who knows he is so old he won’t get another shot, it very probable.
Also.....from http://larrysinclair-0926.blogspot.com/
“it appears the Delaware Attorney Generals office, under sealed Grand Jury who’s foreman was an active Delaware State employee and Obama supporter, brought a criminal indictment and warrant without ever having produced the money orders into evidence!
It seems the reason the AG’s office took so long in providing my Attorney, Francis E Farren and myself copies of the items, was they Delaware Attorney Generals office had not ever had them. The copies of the money orders (with no indication that they have been returned unpaid) were faxed to the Delaware AG’s office on August 24, 2008 by one ABC Detective Agency. Now how can this be if the Grand Jury issued an indictment on Feb 4, 2008???

Biden and Obama are involved in breaking the law trying to cover up obambi’s cocaine and sex problems and we are not even yet talking about the Gay Choir Leader of OBambi’s church who was murdered and who Mr. Sinclair believes was sexually linked to obama.
Good post!
Joe Biden is going to screw things up for Obama. Just wait.
Biden controls the newspapers in Delaware the same way the Kennedys control the Boston Globe. At least Massachusetts has a respectable newspaper, the Boston Herald, but I don’t know if Delaware has any.
Why aren’t they interviewing all his Columbia University buddies. That Root fellow, the Libertarian Party’s VP, says he does not know a soul who knew Obama there on Campus. He also has put up a Million doallar bet that his (Root’s) grades at Columbia were better than Obama’s. Root could not get into Harvard. Obama did.

This is why Obama chose Plugs Bin Biden to be his veep candidate.
Bin Biden better have food tasters/testers, people to start his limo and other protective systems to prevent the Obami Nation of Islam thugs from changing the ticket.
