Did a Democrat leak the Biden ‘filegate’ scandal to the press?
The Hill ^ | 01/17/2023 | MERRILL MATTHEWS

Could a Democrat, understandably concerned that a Biden 2024 reelection bid would be disastrous for the Democratic Party (not to mention the country and the economy), have leaked President Biden’s “filegate” scandal to the media?

It’s plausible, given what we know – or at least what we think we know – about the sources of the information, the timeline and the widespread opposition to Biden running for president again.

To begin with, we apparently don’t know who tipped off the press about filegate.

CBS broke the story on Jan. 9. The initial report cited only “two sources with knowledge of the inquiry.” CBS never identified the anonymous sources. Nor have other news organizations in their subsequent reporting.

The White House revealed the investigation only after reporters started asking questions. As CBS reported, “Richard Sauber, special counsel to the president confirmed” the story that Biden’s personal attorneys identified the classified documents on Nov. 2. Sauber was only confirming what reporters already knew.

IMO, former stripper LUNDEN ROBERTS LEAKED IT!

Having had an intimate relationship with Hunter, save to mention SHE IS HIS "BABY MAMA" and is SUING HIM to allow the baby to assume the BIDEN name there is clearly a motive for her to start LEAKING damning info about Hunter since HE and his CHINESE associates probably looked at these documents!!

Easiest way to replace Harris (with either Newsome or Buttigett) is a (failed) assassination attempt on her. By a white MAGA hat redneck “Christian “ using an AR 15.

And then white redneck is immediately killed Jack Ruby style by their instantly heroic FBI.

Filegate?

I guess they should have called the Watergate sandal, “Burglarygate.”

The journalist today don’t seem to have a clue.

Seth Rich revealed about Hillary, whom they wanted to win. Whoever this is, however, revealed about Brandon, whom they want to give up on 2024. It’s according to plan.

This is what I think He is not a dependable puppet, and he might accidentally let slip one of many potential scandals of enormous proportions, so huge that even the entire state run media couldn’t cover for them ( “them” meaning DNC, Deep State, etc). They need someone blackmailable enough to keep in line, but with enough intelligence to keep the lies straight and the tangled webs concealed.

The leak came the day after Comer said he was going to investigate the National Archives. Just saying.

It is attention bait. They hope to distract Americans with investigations into Biden (nothing happens) so that you wont pay attention to the further erosion of your freedoms.

Dont fall for it.
