Shades of Clinton: Joe Biden used private email to send government information to Hunter
Just The News ^ | 07/20/21 | By John Solomon and Natalia Mittelstadt

Posted on 07/20/2021 5:37:26 PM PDT by blueyon

In a communications backdoor reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's infamous private server, President Biden used a personal email account during the Obama years to send information he was getting from the State Department as vice president to his globetrotting, foreign-deal-making son Hunter Biden. Messages, sometimes signed "Dad," from the email account robinware456@gmail.com were found on a Hunter Biden laptop seized by the FBI in December 2019 from a Delaware computer shop owner. Some of the messages from the vice president to his son obtained by Just the News were deeply personal, others were political in nature, and still others clearly addressed business matters, often forwarding information coming from senior officials in the White House, the State Department and other government agencies.

I heard the deeply personal ones are pictures of little girls ages 4 to 12 who identify as 19.

FTA.......Beyond establishing that Joe Biden sent government information to his son, the existence of the private email address also raises questions of federal law, as Hillary Clinton’s email server showed. Biden had an obligation to preserve any emails involving his government work under federal records law, even if he used a private email address.

“The Presidential Records Act required Joe Biden to make sure that any of his gmail account emails, including these emails to Hunter Biden, were forwarded to a government account so they could properly be handled by the National Archives,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch. “No wonder the Obama White House wanted to protect Hillary Clinton from the consequences of [her] email shell game!”

“We might know more beginning next year,” added the veteran public records watchdog, “when Judicial Watch and the public can begin filing FOIAs for Obama White House emails.”

The White House press office did not respond to a call and email from Just the News seeking comment Tuesday. George Mesires, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, also did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Hunter Biden on a few occasions reached out directly to his father on the private email address to ask for help, the memos from the laptop show. In January 2012, for instance, Hunter Biden forwarded a request to have the vice president prepare a video message for an event honoring Texas Democratic activist Ben Barnes.

“We are working on it,” the vice president wrote his son in reply.

On another occasion in June 2014, Hunter Biden suggested someone he wanted to see appointed as a detailee to the Treasury Department. “Before you fill the positions, pls talk to me,” Hunter Biden wrote his father.

The vice president responded, “Call me right away, Dad.”

Politics, including the potential for Biden to run for president in 2016, were sometimes the subject of emails coming to and from the RobinWare456@gmail.com account.

Former U.S. Sen. Ted Kaufman, who succeeded Biden as a Delaware senator after serving decades as his chief of staff, sent an email Nov. 3, 2014 that included a Wall Street Journal article negative to Hillary Clinton, a potential 2016 challenger to Biden before the vice president declined to run that year. The article was entitled “Hillary Clinton’s Wall Street problem.”

“In case you missed it,” Kaufman wrote Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s late son Beau. The subject line read, “Excellent.”

When a poll came out showing Beau Biden was still popular as attorney general in Delaware, the vice president used his private email to applaud.

“Strong,” he wrote, signing it with his name “Joe.”

Sometimes, Vice President Biden’s messages to his son took a more personal note, like the day the Wall Street Journal broke the story in October 2014 that Hunter Biden had been discharged from the Navy over a positive cocaine test.

“Good as it could be,” Joe Biden wrote in an email chain that included the article forwarded to the vice president’s email address by White House staff. “Time to move on, Love Dad.”

The vice president also flashed some of his trademark self-deprecating humor, once forwarding an astronomy story suggesting a planet be named for him. From his private email, Joe Biden wrote his family, “Only time in history.” The subject line was: “Why I deserve more respect.”

Now that Hunter is an accomplished artist, all past communications between him and The Big Guy will be retroactively considered performance art and not subject to prosecution.

How many copies of the loptaps contents are floating around? Justice Dept is working feverishly to contain any leaking out. Be a shame if somehow mass produced copies started circulating.

This is the kind of thing that would drive the left insane if it were a Republican president. Since it’s their illegitimate fraud Joe Biden... Crickets.

...information he was getting from the State Department as vice president to his globetrotting, foreign-deal-making son Hunter Biden

Is anyone alleging this information was classified?

A huge amount of State Department analysis is of open source materials.

You act like that was a fluke that only Hillary perpetuated. She got AWAY WITH IT - you don’t think they’d keep doing it?

I’m sure, like Hillary, it wasn’t intentional.

What good reason would Hunter Biden have to be in possession of any gov. documents classified or not?

Be real interesting to see how much of it was classified stuff

On a side note, he doesn’t remember a minute of them. How do you prosecute a certifiable idiot that can’t put a sentence together.

He’d be declared incapable of being able to stand trial. Which would bring up a completely different set of problems

JoeBama’s banana republic is done for! All they have done is fu(k everything up!
Forget impeachment because it’s an illegal regime.
The military needs to dump their pantywaisted, leftist leaders and drag the whole banana gang out of the white hut kicking and screaming!
The rest in the world, including the CCP, are laughing their asses off and getting ready to come in for the kill shot as idiot Bezos and his rocket are the ridiculous news of the day!

My understanding is that there were at least 5 copies, plus secondary copies.
