Penn Biden Center where classified papers were found is a ‘dark money nightmare’
NY Post ^ | January 11, 2023 | By Isabel Vincent

The Ivy League think tank where lawyers found classified materials linked to the Obama White House is a patronage mill for the Biden administration, raising suspicions among critics that its establishment attracted tens of millions in donations from anonymous Chinese donors.

The Department of Justice is currently probing how “a small number” of classified documents from President Biden’s years as vice president ended up at the Washington, DC, think tank that bears his name, the White House confirmed Monday. A second batch of papers were found at an additional location, it was reported Wednesday.

The University of Pennsylvania received more than $30 million from Chinese donors shortly after the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, which functioned as an office for Joe Biden before he was elected president, was announced in 2017, according to public records.

“The Penn Biden Center is a dark money, revolving door nightmare where foreign competitors like China donated millions of dollars to the university so that they could have access to future high ranking officials,” said Tom Anderson, director of the Government Integrity Project at the Virginia-based National Legal and Policy Center.

The University of Pennsylvania raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016, according to public records.

Most of the anonymous donations came after the university officially announced in February 2017 that it would create the academic center named for Biden, whose term as vice president under Barack Obama had just ended. In addition to leading the think tank, Biden was also named a professor at the school.

And how is the corrupt left MSM presenting this case? That the only thing that 'matters' is Biden is 'cooperating. As if the crime doesn't matter. Fight the CIA answers being fed to President Chinese Sniffer.

Guess who the executive director of the Biden Center was when the ChiComs so gracious donated so much money?

Tony Blinken.

One more question, when was the last time that you hear of donors to such a prestigious center want to remain anonymous?

So many serious RAT Scandals. So few GOP Committees to investigate them all.

“its establishment attracted tens of millions in donations from anonymous Chinese donors”

That’s called ‘working as intended’.

I’m liking this scandal more every day.

My disdain and hostility toward woke universities as in Pennsylvania as well as against the Biden crime family combine to make this a popcorn worthy event.

I suspect one of the people close enough to Biden to know the kind of things he does felt that Biden riding an anticorruption high horse was one step too far

Biden cooperated by waiving Trump’s executive privilege, or rather delegating them to a clerk in the National Archives.
