President Biden has always insisted he had nothing to do with the Justice Department’s move against ex-prez Donald Trump for his alleged theft of classified documents — but new information gathered by RealClearInvestigations suggests that (as so often with Biden) this is likely a lie.
“I don’t want to get myself in the middle of whether or not the Justice Department should move or not move on certain actions they could take. I agreed I would not tell them what to do and not, in fact, engage in telling them how to prosecute or not,” were Biden’s precise words to lapdog journo Scott Pelley in September.
A set of newly unredacted documents seem to tell a different tale.
Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Su looks to have played an even bigger role on the WH end of the operation: He’s the one who, in January 2022, told an Archives official to get Justice started on a criminal referral over the docs.
