New Emails Reveal Earliest Efforts to Suppress Negative Biden Stories

Newly-released records from the National Archives prove that attempts to bury any negative stories about the Biden family began long before the 2020 election, and even predate efforts to suppress the infamous Hunter Biden laptop story.

As reported by Just The News, the emails in question were released as the result of a lawsuit filed by the nonprofit group America First Legal. The emails date back to the Obama Administration, in the year 2015. In one email, an aide to then-Vice President Joe Biden claimed that she convinced a reporter to “only use” negative information on the Biden family “if her editors hold a gun to her head.”

Others in Biden’s office at the time actively worked to censor negative stories surrounding Hunter Biddn’s involvement with the corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, especially in the context of Vice President Biden’s trip to Ukraine in December of 2015. At that time, Joe Biden himself personally approved quotes to address the matter of his son’s foreign business deals, even though Biden has since tried to claim that he was unaware of Hunter’s activities.

“VP signed off on this — will give this quote to both reporters in my name shortly,” said Kate Bedingfield, who at the time was a press official in the office of the Vice President.

“Really frustrating,” Bedingfeld wrote in another email in regards to reporters who began asking questions about Hunter’s business deals during that time. “That said, so long as it doesn’t elevate and trigger someone else to write, it’s actually a good and straightforward response.”

“Joe Biden and the Biden vice presidency were intimately involved in the Hunter Biden Burisma affair,” said Stephen Miller, the president of America First Legal, on Thursday in response to the revelations. “They were intimately aware of it. They

What do you expect? We’ve been taken over by a syndicate of subversive communist cartel. Any more questions?

Biden’s corruption is open, obvious and completely ignored by the media. That makes the media corrupt.

Don’t think there is anything illegal about this. All politicians try to get thier side of the story out. However the BIG issue is the willingness of the press to cooperate and run interference for him. Nobody on this board is or should be surprised. Still , you can’t have too much proof. The MSM have forfeited their integrity and they will never ever ever get it back until every G damn one of them is fired

Rush constantly called them the “State Run Media” and he was exactly right. At least when “State” means Dems, Leftists, and Marxists.

The State and the Corporations are joined at the hip.

But none dare call it “Fascism”.

If Trump’s press shop didn’t try to do this exact stuff they should have been fired.

YouTube stopped showing the number of downvotes on all Biden White House videos, which they didn’t do with Trump. And, Biden’s White House shut down the comments section on all their YouTube videos. I still go to the White House YouTube Channel everyday and down vote every new video they’ve posted.
