Emails: Biden Demanded CIA Coverup of Embarrassing Ukraine Intelligence
Real Clear Politics ^ | October 7, 2025 | Philip Wegmann

At the specific request of then-Vice President Joe Biden, the CIA buried an embarrassing intelligence report detailing the poor view the Ukrainian government took of his diplomatic efforts and the business dealings of his own family in that country.

Biden had traveled to Kyiv in December 2015, ostensibly to meet with leaders of that fledgling democracy and to deliver a warning against “the cancer of corruption.” And during an address to the Ukrainian parliament, he did condemn the “pervasive poison of cronyism, corruption, and kleptocracy.”

But behind the scenes, Ukrainian officials expressed “bewilderment and disappointment” that the vice president had crossed the Atlantic “almost exclusively to deliver a generic speech.” Officials close to then-President Petro Poroshenko had hoped for guidance “in support of or against specific officials within the Ukrainian government.” They discovered instead that Biden “had no intention of discussing substantive matters.”

After Biden returned stateside, members of the Poroshenko administration “privately mused” at how American media treated “the alleged ties” of his family “to corrupt business practices in Ukraine.” It was, in their minds, “evidence of a double standard within the United States Government towards matters of corruption and political power.”

Such was the blunt determination of a 2016 report prepared by the CIA and reviewed by RealClearPolitics. It would have been a humiliating assessment for Biden, whom President Obama had entrusted with all things Ukraine. So the vice president and his team killed it.

In an email sent to the CIA on Feb. 10, 2016, an individual in the office of the Director of National Intelligence wrote, “I just spoke with VP/NSA and he would strongly prefer the report not/not [sic] be disseminated,” a reference to Biden and to Colin Kahl, who served as his national security advisor.

“Thanks for understanding,” concluded an individual responsible for delivering the president’s daily brief,...

This report notwithstanding, Ukraine is an enemy of the American people.

If for no other reason than their efforts to get us into war.

I seem to remember that in 1973, the Democrats and their media allies were in full cry over some cover-up supposedly ordered by Richard Nixon when he supposedly instructed the FBI to “stay out of it”. There is no evidence that Nixon ever took money nor did any of his staff. How quiet they are now over a coverup of presidential corruption when Biden instructed the CIA “stay out of it”. There is plenty of evidence that Biden’s crackhead son and he took money from Ukraine.

Ukraine is and has always been a filthy corrupted toilet, since their inception in 1991. They still haven’t paid back their debt since inception in 1991, a dead beat, grifting “ nation”…it corrupts everything that comes close to it.

US neocons and NATO simply arranged an overthrow of the Ukraine government to replace corrupt Russian oligarchs, with corrupt American and European ones.

Yet Ukraine is far less corrupt than Russia, far, far less.

In 2015 Russia was ranked as less corrupt than Ukraine.

In 2015 Russia was at 119 and Ukraine at 130

Today Russia is at 154 and Ukraine at 105.

Russia gets worse and worse under Putin while Ukraine gets better.

Who cares how corrupt Russia is when their corruption costs the US taxpayer nothing.

Otoh...Ukraine’s corruption comes straight out of the US taxpayer’s wallet.

Get your priorities straight for a change.

Get your priorities straight for once and recognize what benefits America, this Russian debacle has been the best national defense event since Reagan won office, and for little money.

We are so much better off defense wise than we were 3.5 years ago, and rapidly improving, and that is almost across the board for all of our allies around the world, in Europe and in Asia.
