Joe Biden briefed by advisors about foreign policy on insecure pseudonymous email accounts: memos
Just the News ^ | 12/16/24 | Steven Richards

New email records released by the National Archives show then-Vice President Joe Biden was briefed about sensitive foreign policy matters by then-advisor Antony Blinken on his private email account, including details about a failed North Korean missile launch.

Joe Biden, now president, first faced scrutiny about potential private accounts after emails contained on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop showed the then-vice president in the Obama administration was using an email address with a pseudonym to communicate about business and official matters with his son, other family members, and senior staff.

One new email, part of several batches released by the National Archives pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit shows that in the hours following a North Korean missile launch in April 2012, Blinken—who was then Biden’s national security advisor—sent a message to the vice president’s private email account "robinware456@gmail.com" with details about the sensitive national security matter.

“Just in case you missed it, the North Korean rocket failed somewhere between the first and second stages,” Blinken wrote. “Will take some time to determine why.” The future Secretary of State signed the email message, “tony.”

Democrat's tendency to repeatedly use unsecure email accounts for sensitive communications would almost make one think it is deliberately done in order to make sure foreign actors have access to information they can use against us. That's in addition to making sure those emails are not part of the President's official records.

They raided Mar A Lago, because of some old records which might be sensitive.
They “briefed” the Vice President, who was putting secrets out for public dissemination, on his computer.
The enemy didn’t even have to leave their cave to hack it.

I knew this was coming. They’re probably putting leverage on Biden to pardon himself and all of his staff and whomever is on those mails.

It’s early …

I read the headline and at first I thought the topic was about Joe Biden being insecure about his e-mail pseudonyms

Like pedopete or whatever Hunter used that one time

Time for coffee

The information about the North Korean rocket failure was almost certainly classified. For one thing, the Norks have poor instrumentation and may not be able to assess the performance of their systems. We are not their range instrumentation contractor. Secondly, we do not want the Norks to know what our assessment of their systems is, regardless of whether or not they have better information.

Any use of private email for official business by government officials is discouraged under the law and the Federal Records Act requires them to preserve all government-related communications conducted on private accounts.

When I was an Air Force contractor we were briefed about the public records act. For us, and Air Force personnel, civilian and military, it was unlawful to conduct public business on private email, except in circumstances where it was expedient, but we had to include our Air Force email on cc:.

The purpose was to prevent hiding government records from FOIA disclosure. Every government record was subject to preservation, with certain minor exceptions, like mess hall menus or gym closing hours. There is no evidence that Biden's transfer of the records to NARA was timely. If a contract is being competed and an Air Force official or contractor has communications with one competitor that may potentially disadvantage another that is unfair and can lead to costly and time consuming protests and delays. Record preservation must be timely.

Letting your business partners or family members in on information not available to the general public is obviously a serious ethical issue.

I truly resent those who voted these people into power. Thank God they lost this time around. We should never forget how close we came to the end of America as we know it.
