Biden think tank where secret docs were stashed accused of giving prez, his allies ‘no show’ jobs

WASHINGTON — A conservative group alleges in a new IRS whistleblower complaint that the University of Pennsylvania’s Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement flouted non-profit rules — in part by giving the future president and his allies “no show” jobs, The Post has learned.

The center burst into the national spotlight Monday with the revelation that classified documents dating from President Biden’s vice presidency were found at its Washington office, ultimately leading to the appointment of special counsel Robert Hur to determine whether Biden or others in his orbit illegally mishandled records.

The America First Legal Foundation, led by former Trump White House official Stephen Miller, submitted an IRS Form 13909 complaint asking tax authorities to look into whether the center illicitly paid Biden and others for no work, among other possible violations.

“As fiscal sponsor, the University of Pennsylvania (‘Penn’) was obligated to conduct appropriate oversight of the Penn Biden Center’s activities,” the filing says. “This obligation included … preventing prohibited private benefits (e.g. ‘no show’ jobs), prohibited campaign intervention activities, unlawful political lobbying, and illegal influence peddling.”

Joe Biden speaks at the Penn Biden Center in Washington. President Biden was paid by the University of Pennsylvania despite little apparent work. Biden earned nearly $1 million from the University of Pennsylvania from 2017 to 2019, despite just nine reported public engagements with students, some of which appeared to be unrelated to his appointment as “Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor” — such as a November 2017 visit to promote his own book “Promise Me, Dad.”

So there are those who think that Red China would require any “work” for their millions in contributions? They know what their money is buying...and it sure as hell ain’t work.

In addition to employing Biden, current Secretary of State Antony Blinken worked as the center’s managing director in 2018 and top White House adviser Steve Ricchetti served as managing director in 2019.

After Biden took office as president, he tapped Penn’s longtime president, Amy Gutmann, to be the US ambassador to Germany.

“The evidence is that then-former Vice President Biden was paid nearly a million dollars for appearing on campus six times. Other Obama Administration officials, including the current Secretary of State, were also paid by the Penn Biden Center without providing equivalent services for Penn’s students,” the IRS complaint says.

“Penn’s President, Amy Gutmann, allegedly created the Penn Biden Center to benefit Vice President Biden, and, according to emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop, apparently to benefit his family members as well. In exchange, she was nominated to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Germany.”

“Finally,” the complaint concludes, “the evidence is that the creation of the Penn Biden Center immediately led to a massive influx of donations from foreign sources to Penn, including but not limited to tens of millions of dollars from alleged instrumentalities of the Chinese Communist Party. The quid pro quo for these donations has not been disclosed.”

“While Biden was still vice president, Hunter Biden co-founded an investment firm called BHR Partners within weeks of joining his dad aboard Air Force Two on an official trip to Beijing...

“Online business records indicate that Hunter Biden still co-owns a 10% stake in BHR.

“In 2016, BHR Partners facilitated a deal in which a Chinese firm bought a Congolese cobalt mine from American and Canadian companies.... Cobalt is an important material for making electric vehicle batteries.”

Biden got paid for the right to put his name on a building(and to use for fundraising purposes).

Biden wasn’t the first Oval Office guy who got paid for the right to put a name on a building.

There are factions in both parties that want the U.S. and NATO to confront the Russians directly should the Ukrainians fail to defeat the invaders. The Democrat faction includes Hillary and Bill Clinton, Victoria Nuland, and possibly John Kerry, Secretary of State Blinken, etc. In the Republican ranks, we are talking about Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, John Bolton, etc. They have been anti-Russian for years, and the Democratic pro-war faction has recently turned against China.

The Biden crime family is seriously compromised with regard to China. Some of the CCP money possibly went to buy Biden's real estate holdings where the classified documents were held.

Additionally, President Biden has never been a hawk. He bailed out of Afghanistan quickly, something neither Trump nor Obama did. He turned against the Iraq War by 2004. He was opposed to the 2011 operation to take out Osama bin Laden. Whether because the CCP has him in the palm of their hand, or if he does not want to be the President to formally trigger World War III, Biden is an impediment to plans to start a war with Russia and China.

If the U.S. becomes involved in a war with Russia, neither Obama nor Kamala Harris will inspire rural and working class young white men to join the military. The American military will likely suffer a high number of casualties, especially if several fronts develop, possibly in Taiwan and the Persian Gulf. Were a neo-conservative Republican, say Kevin McCarthy, to become President, he might be able to rally the now sullen conservatives in flyover country to the flag, as the Bushes did, or, far enough back, FDR and Truman.

It is feasible that a National Unity ticket, with McCarthy as President and a prominent Democrat, say Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi, as Vice President, may be the one way to rally both red and blue America into a meat grinder war in Eastern Europe, as well as East Asia and the Middle East.

Biden got over a $1 Million for nothing.

Then he appointed the University President to a covered Ambassadorship.

And Biden’s DoJ declined to investigate Penn, or another case, after he came in.

There’s plenty of crime and corruption, but go look at what Strzok asked Hillary. It was a total joke. Like 7 questions to clear her that were pre-approved by her Lawyer.


This is the Hillary Investigation all over again.
