I had never heard of this Penn Biden Center “think tank” until the document fiasco. This outfit sounds like a CCP front to me.
After his time as vice president, Biden became the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor, the first to hold such a job. Over the first few years of holding this position, Biden earned more than $900,000 from the university for speaking at various events. According to a report by the Philadelphia Inquirer, he “collected $371,159 in 2017 plus $540,484 in 2018 and early 2019 for a vaguely defined role that involved no regular classes and around a dozen public appearances on campus, mostly in big, ticketed events.”Another $1 million payoff to Biden for a no-show "job."
Then there is this...
Penn Biden Center where classified papers were found is a ‘dark-money nightmare’So he opens the Biden Center, gets the bogus "professorship" for a $1 million payoff, and the University collects almost $60 million from the Chinese.

January 11, 2023“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 named a professor at the school.
Other Ivy League colleges have raked in Chinese money, including Harvard, which got $75 million during the 2014-2019 period, and Yale, which received $43.5 million, records show.
From the above article, Penn isn't the only corrupt Northeast school: "Other Ivy League colleges have raked in Chinese money, including Harvard, which got $75 million during the 2014-2019 period, and Yale, which received $43.5 million."
How many such Trump or Republican "Centers" are there collecting corrupt cash from our enemies?
Sounds like TREASON to me!
“”I had never heard of this Penn Biden Center “think tank” until the document fiasco.””
Known only to the few who benefited from it, I suppose. Someone said this week, “we don’t know what we don’t know” relative to another news story and I guess we should count ourselves lucky! I’d feel myself lucky not to know about any of this corruption that takes place in DC - and of course, other places!
