The Department of Justice is trying to prevent the disclosure of 400 pages of sensitive documents on Hunter and Jim Biden’s dealings with China, Russia, and Ukraine – by pretending they don’t exist.
Colorado lawyer Kevin Evans sued the department in March after it failed to comply with his request for records on the Bidens’ dealings under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Evans, a FOIA expert, asked for documents pertaining to ‘any relationship, communication, gift(s), and/or remuneration in any form between the president’s son Hunter or brother Jim, and China, Russia, or Ukraine.
He said government lawyers first admitted in court to having at least 400 pages of “potentially relevant” documents – but are now trying to get away with saying they can “neither confirm nor deny” the existence of any records that match his request.
A Justice Department prosecutor, David Weiss, is currently considering a criminal case against Hunter with potential allegations of money laundering, illegal foreign lobbying, and tax crimes in relation to the First Son’s overseas business dealings.
The 400 pages are not the only cache of Biden records being sought from the government.
The National Archives and Records Administration is preparing to release hundreds of Obama White House internal documents containing information about Hunter’s relationship with controversial Ukrainian gas company Burisma, Business Insider reported this month. Joe Biden, vice president at the time, was responsible for U.S. relations with Ukraine. His son was serving on the board of Burisma, getting paid $83,000 per month.
Biden’s administration is able to veto the release but must decide by February whether to invoke executive privilege to keep them hidden until 2029.
The records date back to 2014 and include 69 images and 260 email messages mentioning Burisma.
Evans’ case has its next hearing later this month.
The Greenwood Village, Colorado-based lawyer said he filed his FOIA request in November of 2020 after reading about the Bidens’ overseas business dealings, and the Justice Department strung him along for almost two years before he eventually sued them.
“They eventually produced about 60 pages of documents, but they’re all letters from senators and congressmen asking about Hunter, and letters from DoJ in response,” he said.
“Then towards the end of last year, they said, ”Well we have these 400 pages of potentially responsive documents, we need to review them.”
“In March I filed suit, and before Magistrate Judge Michael Hegarty they made the same representation: they’ve done a thorough search, they’ve uncovered 400 potentially responsive documents.”
I know it’s hard to believe this is actually being uncovered: REAL documents, REAL evidence, and REAL fraud against the American people!
Court Filings
Normally documents this damning are buried by the involved perpetrators. I thought we’d give you the actual filings to verify this story:
Evans said in his suit that he filed his FOIA request in November 2020 after reading about the Bidens’ overseas business dealings, and the Justice Department strung him along for almost two years before he eventually sued them.
Evans said the government dithered for a few more months, then made a confusing new argument: that they could “neither confirm nor deny” the existence of any records.
Government agencies have a legal precedent to make such claims to avoid disclosures that could harm national security.
The precedent dates back to a 1975 Los Angeles Times story about a salvage ship secretly built by the CIA to recover a sunken Soviet submarine.
The paper filed a FOIA request about it and the agency responded that it could “neither confirm nor deny” it had records about the ship, USNS Hughes Glomar Explorer. The response, upheld by courts, became known as a “Glomar response.”
“I don’t know how the heck they now can take the take the position that Glomar is applicable,” Evans said. “To me, it seems the cat’s out of the bag here after having disclosed the documents exist.”
But the attorney thinks the government will try to avoid disclosure of the papers even so.
Summary
This story is not a “fly by the seat of your pants story.” Information about this has been available in the open market for several years. Why hasn’t Mainstream Media — who had easy access to all the details including court filings plus much more in the way of proof — just done their jobs? No, rather than do their jobs of “informing the People,” they played gods of “political discourse” and “social norms.” They, as is normal, defaulted to a singular task: facilitate the run downhill by the U.S. Government toward true authoritarian rule.
To these people — Democrat leaders in Washington in every spot — the American people are little more than pawns for their use to enhance their perceived utopia. Their task’s purpose? Take democracy to its grave while blaming conservatives for its destruction!
Here’s a scary thought: there certainly are more nuggets of proof that validate the concerns of millions of Americans about the U.S. Government’s abuse of its people while amassing uncountable benefits for themselves and all those who breathe the same air as they breathe.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve not received my invitation to that group. Do you think we’re on that list?
