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.
As early as August 2021, National Archives officials had gone whinging to Justice about the missing documents (including lobbing unfounded accusations that Trump had destroyed them — who is he, Hillary Clinton?).
In September, Archives muckamucks were meeting with top Biden lackeys like White House Counsel Dana Remus and possibly even then-Chief of Staff (and ultimate DC swamp reptile) Ron Klain.
