The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has at least 5,400 emails from then-Vice President Joe Biden’s pseudonym accounts.
Biden used these email accounts “to forward government information and discuss business with his son, Hunter Biden, and others.” Those accounts are robinware456@gmail.com, JRBWare@gmail.com, and Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov.
From the letter NARA wrote to the Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF):
We have performed a search of our collection for Vice Presidential records related to your request and have identified approximatelvy 5,138 email messages, 25 electronic files and 200 pages of potentially responsive records that must be processed in order to respond to your request. Please keep in mind that these totals are an estimate and that all material processed may not be applicable to your specific topic.The staff of the Archival Operations Division is currently processing and reviewing FOIA requests that precede your request. To treat everyone equitably, we have placed your request in our Complex queue by the date it was received in our office.
SLF filed a federal lawsuit against NARA to release the emails from Biden’s three pseudonym accounts.
SLF has been seeking emails from then-VP Biden since 2021. NARA delayed a response since it supposedly didn’t receive the records until January 20, 2017. Therefore, it could not make anything public until January 20, 2022.
Then, SLF requested the pseudonym emails on June 9, 2022, through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). NARA has been unresponsive, so the organization turned to the courts. It’s ridiculous.
That’s two years. For two freaking years, SLF has been trying to get Biden’s records.
“All too often, public officials abuse their power by using it for their personal or political benefit,” stated Kimberly Hermann, SLF General Counsel. “When they do, many seek to hide it. The only way to preserve governmental integrity is for NARA to release Biden’s nearly 5,400 emails to SLF and thus the public. The American public deserves to know what is in them.”
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has demanded NARA hand over all the records, unredacted, in which Biden used the pseudonym emails.
You’re not supposed to use a non-government email for government purposes.
If NARA or other agencies have to determine if anything is classified or have to retract any information in those emails, then, um, that should tell us something.
You know, that then-VP Biden was doing something he should not have with those non-government accounts.
From the Department of Labor:
You should NOT use your personal email or social media accounts for official matters. This raises record-keeping issues and potentially puts confidential information at risk.
Insanity.
