DOJ concealing sensitive documents showing payoffs and gifts to Hunter and Jim Biden!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - January 2, 2023 - The Amerikan Gestapo Department of InJustice division (DOJ) is trying to prevent 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 Hunter Biden 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.
DOJ prosecutor David Weiss is currently considering a criminal case against Hunter Biden with potential allegations of money laundering, illegal foreign lobbying, and tax crimes in relation to the his 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 Barack Obama White House internal documents containing information about Hunter Biden's relationship with controversial Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
Pretender Joe Biden was vice president at the time, with responsibility for relations with Ukraine. His son was serving on the board of Burisma, getting paid $83,000 per month.
The illegitimate pretender Joe Biden regime 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 in January.
The Greenwood Village, Colorado-based lawyer said he filed his FOIA request in November 2020 after reading about the Bidens' overseas business dealings, and the DOJ 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 Biden, and letters from DOJ back,” 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,’” said Evans.
“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,” said Evans.
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 newspaper 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 position that Glomar is applicable,” Evans said. “To me, it seems the cat's out of the bag here after having disclosed that the documents exist.”
But the attorney thinks the government will continue to try to avoid disclosure of the papers.
“I'm quite confident that they will move for summary judgment on the privacy exemptions under FOIA in an effort to avoid having to produce these documents,” he said. “But I don't think they should in this instance, particularly when they've disclosed and put on the record that potentially responsive documents exist.”
“The problem is, FOIA has become a toothless vehicle. Courts do not comply with the spirit of the law, they're more inclined to bend over backwards to accept the government's position rather than force disclosure,” said Evans.
Emails from Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop and testimony from whistleblowers show that he was involved in a multi-million-dollar deal with a Chinese oil giant closely linked to the Chinese government.
Bank records show Hunter Biden's Chinese business partners transferred $10 million to their joint venture.
Emails, texts, and accounts from whistleblowers suggest that pretender Joe Biden was aware of the deal and may have even been involved.
The most infamous example is a 2017 email from one of Hunter Biden's business partners, James Gilliar, who suggests that Hunter would hold 10% of the equity in the deal on behalf of “the big guy” - a reference to his father.
