Joe's Biden's campaign dispatched operatives to the Uof Del's library to rifle through his secretive Senate records. Biden dropped off 1,875 boxes: “photographs, documents, videotapes, files” and 415 gigabytes of electronic records in 2012. The university initially said it expected to make the records “available to the public two years after Biden’s last day in elected public office.” In April 2019, just hours before Biden announced his presidential bid, the university changed its mind, and said the papers wouldn't be released until either December 31, 2019, or until two years after Biden “retires from public life,” whichever comes later.
Fox News reported numerous top officials on the University board have close personal and financial ties to the former VP. The University's charter states that the Board of Trustees has “entire control and management of the affairs of the university," and notes that no university bylaws "shall diminish or reduce the Board’s plenary authority over all matters related to the control and management of the affairs of the University."
The current chairman of the board, John Cochran, is a longtime Biden donor and former CEO of MBNA.
Biden's son Hunter was hired on at MBNA. Rachel Mullen, a former senior personal banking officer at MBNA from 1994-2001 tweeted that managers referred to the younger Biden as "Senator MBNA" after he was hired into a lucrative management-prep track right after Yale Law School.
As Hunter cashed the checks, Biden was pushing successfully on the Senate floor for legislation that would make it harder for consumers to file for bankruptcy protection -- benefiting companies like MBNA. In a contemporaneous interview, Tom Brokaw asked Biden whether it was "inappropriate" for the then-senator to have his son "collecting money from this big credit card company while you were on the [Senate] floor protecting its interests."

Those are the actions of a guilty person, afraid that the truth will find its way out.
Good analysis regarding the likely timing of the switch (i.e. waiting till right after the convention). I think that was probably their original plan. But if this Tara Reid scandal gets out of control before then, they may not have the option of waiting till August. If that happens, things should get very interesting.
Regardless, Bernie will go along with the plan. I can’t believe how gullible the Bernie Bro’s are. They actually think Bernie’s an outsider and that he’s not in on the whole con.
Yes, this was a way to setup Trump.
Have Trump call for examination of UD the records, which turn up nothing. Biden says it is the same as Obama’s birth certificate or something like that.
The idea is to discredit Trump because he has more trust right now than Biden.
I would not be surprised if they are cleaning up the records, and/or illegally removing or changing records.
It is too late to do this now but I had hoped someone at the Bursar’s office at Occidental college would have looked at Obama’s academic records and anonymously slipped a copy of them to a friendly news outlet.
You know if Obama had been a Republican that would have happened.
People here yammer about the birth certificate but the academic records, if they showed he claimed to be an international student from Asia would have made that issue moot.
I do not think Obama claimed to be a US citizen. I think he was admitted as an international student.
This would have been an easier argument to make that a technical “Natural Born Citizen” argument that looks like splitting hairs to a lot of Karens and Soy-Boys
“So who???”
Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsome are the two that would top my list.
This is probably true and if so it shows what a colossal dunce Joey Fingers is. This dim wit had a prefect opportunity to go on the offensive and say “Yeah, let’s do it,” knowing there was nothing there and all the incriminating stuff had been removed ah la Sandy Berger.
As far as Gavin Newsome goes, he is a pretty young man. I would bet he is biding his time for an opportunity in the future. He will (unfortunately) likely have quite a few opportunities. I doubt he would want to potentially blow his one chance by running against a strong incumbent.
RE: Michelle O hated the White House life and has millions so wouldn’t run for president (summarized)
/////////////////////////////////////////
First thought was this: from Tara Ross.com Aug.2,2019—
This Day in History: “I do not choose to run for president”
On this day in 1927, Calvin Coolidge declines to run for re-election as President. His statement to the press was simple: “I do not choose to run for president in 1928.”
He didn’t actually speak these words. Instead, he had the statement printed on slips of paper. When journalists had finished assembling for the presidential briefing, he simply had the papers distributed. The doors to the room were barred so that no reporter could leave until everyone had received his slip of paper.
Meanwhile, Coolidge himself had nothing more to say. When asked for a comment, he simply responded: “No.”
Apparently, First Lady Grace Coolidge heard the news for the first time later that day. “Isn’t that just like that man,” she remarked. “He never gave me the slightest intimation of his intention. I had no idea.”
////////
Next: Apparently telling the truth, VP Gerald Ford who became President after Nixon said “I am serving this term and I will not run for election.” Later a news report anchor man looked up from his news report and said “Well, it looks like President Ford kind of likes living in that big house on Pennsylvania Avenue. He’s decided to run.”

She hates America, Americans and our Republic. She is a snarly, nasty woman from personal reports (like a mean, selfish, inconsiderate boss-—as many of us have had.) But the ridiculous coffee table books, favorite quotations from her, advice to young people, big books about and countless magazine stories and TV interviews -—all make her a feminist hero.
On FR we have to be careful of living in our own bubble. I was not surprised we lost the US House to Pelosi,AOC,Nadler and Schiff control. Those who said “Hey, those polls are trash. Who could be stupid enough to vote for a Dem House?” were sadly wrong.
We can’t stand Michelle O, Hillary,Oprah or Cuomo but millions of idiots adore them and only watch coverage that agrees with their side. To them, Biden’s sex scandal began 1-2 days ago !! They weren’t allowed to hear about it on CNN.
Yeah, I think the DNC was surprised about just how inept Biden was in that interview. The files have all been shredded by his campaign already, so just issue a blanket denial. Instead, he bobbled, making it 100x worse.
They’re going to push the media to focus on Coronavirus, but that’s going against them as well. People want to go back, and the idiots screaming, “but you’ll DIE” just seem reactionary.
They need something to pivot to so they can cover for Biden until the convention, and they dont have it as yet, and they cant get another school shooting either.
Good point.
Heh.........
Biden's bitter brew----he did this to himself.....
IMHO, even more damaging was Biden's panic-stricken reply to Mika suggesting they "open the archives" .......
Biden blurted out there are things in there that arent supposed to be revealed....like conversations with Obama.
God knows what else........probably Hunter's global corruption.
You put your finger on it, right there.
I would suggest washing that finger with bleach. Ha ha.
But what kind of a moron wouldn’t scrub those records before putting them away to start with.
I know that I used to go through my work files every few months to get rid of superfluous notes and memos that did not need to be found if I wasn’t at work all of a sudden. And my files were not corrupt.
Let's keep in mind, none of this was supposed to see the light of day .........b/c Hillary was a "shoo-in."
All Democrat crimes and corruption would be swept under the Oval Office rug......and they'd all live happily ever after.
