The National Archives warned President Joe Biden's lawyers last month that hundreds of emails related to Hunter Biden and his Burisma business deal were set to be publicly released.
Insider broke the story and said that the White House has yet to say whether Biden would stop the release of 185 email messages, and 75 partials emails by claiming executive privilege. If not, the emails will be released on February 28.
A representative for the Archives reached out to White House Counsel Stuart Delery, Biden's campaign lawyer Robert Lenhard and top officials at the Obama Foundation on November 30 to inform them records related to Biden's vice presidency would be released under

Biden needs to pardon himself and all the members of his family while he still can. Probably not constitutional, but he can get away with it. He may as well use his "executive powers" to abolish elections, too, while he is at it. The news media would cheer.

Why would the National Archives feel the need to issue such a warning at all?
I such data is released as a process of established law and processes, why should that concern the NA one way or the other?
Unkess, of course, they have picked a side?

It’s far too late for Biden to even attempt to stop this. And all of the posters are right. It’s none of the National Archives business.

Biden would be all but admitting to guilt or pique even more interest in the email contents if he used executive privilege to block their release.

A Biden mole in the archives? There is nothing there that would fall under executive privilege, just information that would prove the corruption of the Biden family.

National Archives has clearly shown itself to be well embedded in the Deep State. This warning smells like a week-old dead rat.

#2, of course they have picked a side - the employees at the Archives are no different than the employees at any other government agency - they’re all leftists.
The fact that these emails are stored in the NA because they are related to Biden’s time as VP tells us all we need to know about exactly who the Big Guy is and what he and Hunter were up to together. They are a smoking gun, so look for the left to bury them completely.

Forgot to add - if Biden blocks their release, it is a complete admission of guilt and should be treated accordingly. Though I doubt that will ever happen.

Although the Freedom of Information Act does not require it, agencies for a couple of decades now engage in consultation with the White House when any records have White House equities (names of WH staffers, information, etc) and are responsive to a FOIA request. So I am sure the WHI Counsel will claim executive privilege to withhold the records. The WH itself is not subject to the FOIA.

Why not just tell Joe what to do? Make sure he has the assistance of the corrupt DOJ and their thug enforcement arm, the crooked FBI?

Ditto to other posters here. Why is the National Archives in the business of giving warnings?? This is no different than a local police dept giving the heads up to a drug ring that the FBI is going to raid their organization. But of course the National Archives is protecting the Bidens and they are Democrats so everything is just fine. My head wants to explode!!

What else could WE the people expect from the government...they take care of their own...it's called political malfeasance ...and it's deeper than WE had ever imagined...happened to listen to tucker last night...and finally after 60 years WE now know the CIA and it's agents were responsible for JFK's assassination...so the government killed a sitting US President...not my favorite...but he didn't deserve that....I pray every night for President Trump and his family...they tried to take out President Reagan...but he was toooooo tough for them...now if THEY move on President Trump the country would erupt into bedlam ....

Wasn't it alleged that the National Archives instigated the Mir-a-Lago raid? No reason to think they don't have a chair in the Deep State too.

#15. The country wouldn't erupt into bedlam. There isn't enough straight, sober, not on drugs men left to defend the country.

Come on, folks: you know why they're doing this!
If Joey just up and issued an executive order restricting the Nat'l Archives from releasing info and docs re Hunter, many moderate folks (not just conservatives) would be up in arms; many reporters/anchors would be asking their "experts": "Is this legal? Does the POTUS have authority to restrict access to his son's data examined by the FBI? Shouldn't he have that authority?"
Instead, Ron Klain called his buds at the Archives, and gave them a little press release to issue. This will accomplish the following: (a) slightly prolong the time before anything can be issued; (b) gives the press time to think about how they can defend Joey; (c) glosses over the whole issue with a patina of "legality," making it appear that this is a legal issue that requires someone to file a complaint, try to get it before a friendly, leftist judge like Emmet Sullivan (who did the dirty work of holding up Michael Flynn's case even after the DOJ filed a notice of dismissal!); and (d) drag this matter out for at least a few months, perhaps a year, with hearings and motions and discovery requests, maybe until Joey has to step down because he will become even more demented than he is now.
This action would give hope to the Prog's that the public will grow weary of the issue and the prog's can say,
"This is old news. We all know what this is about--it's just about sex. Many presidents have had wayward relatives, and they weren't tortured like poor old Joey. This is just a big nothingburger! Can't we just 'move on'? The American people want us to leave politics behind and do the work of the people: reducing inflation, fixing the economy, and addressing the problems at the border."
