House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer asked the National Archives on Wednesday to hand over any unredacted records in which President Biden used a pseudonym during his vice presidency — as Republicans move closer to launching an impeachment inquiry into his role in son Hunter’s foreign business dealings.
Apparently, Joe Biden isn't always "Joe Biden."
He is a man of many identities.
A quick look behind the mask.
Be informed, not misled.
Trump has been excoriated for asking about Vice President Joe Biden's involvement in Ukraine while his son, Hunter Biden, was getting paid $80,000 per month by notoriously corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
Now House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is calling on the National Archives and Records Administration to turn over documents related to then Vice President Joe Biden's work in Ukraine while his son, Hunter Biden, was getting paid the $80,000 per month.
“Joe Biden has stated there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President, but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling. We already have evidence of then-Vice President Biden speaking, dining, and having coffee with his son’s foreign business associates. We also know that Hunter Biden and his associates were informed of then-Vice President Biden’s official government duties in countries where they had a financial interest. The National Archives must provide these unredacted records to further our investigation into the Biden family’s corruption,” Comer released in a statement Thursday.
On Tuesday, Comer issued a request to NARA for all unredacted materials in which then-Vice President Joe Biden used a pseudonym related to his relationship with Ukraine. Comer explained he specifically seeks an email titled, “Email Messages To and/or From Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden related to Burisma and Ukraine.” Comer said the email, attached with a document, was sent to “Robert L. Peters”— a pseudonym for Joe Biden:
The request says in part:
The Committee seeks unrestricted special access under the PRA to Case Number 2023- 0022-F, entitled “Email Messages To and/or From Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden related to Burisma and Ukraine,” which has been published on NARA’s website. These records have been redacted for public release pursuant to the PRA and FOIA. For example, an email bearing the subject “Friday Schedule Card,” is withheld in part under a “P6” and “b(6)” restrictions, denoting personal information regarding the subject under the PRA and FOIA respectively.
Attached to this email, and made available on the NARA website, is a document that indicates at 9:00 a.m. on May 27, 2016, Vice President Biden took a call with the president of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko. It is concerning to the Committee, however, that this document was sent to “Robert L. Peters”—a pseudonym the Committee has identified as then Vice President Biden. Additionally, the Committee questions why the then-Vice President’s son, Hunter Biden—and only Hunter Biden—was copied on this email to then-Vice President Biden.
During this period of denial of any involvement in Hunter's business dealings on the part of VP Joe Biden, Devon Archer, Hunter's business partner, visited the White House more than 36 times. What was that about?
President Biden’s top White House lawyer is stepping down in the midst of federal criminal investigations into the commander-in-chief and his family, as well as a House Republican influence-peddling probe that could morph into an impeachment inquiry as soon as next month.
White House counsel Stuart Delery “has been a trusted adviser and a constant source of innovative legal thinking since Day One of my Administration,” Biden said in a Thursday statement announcing Delery’s resignation after about 13 months in the position.

Takeaway
The New York Post published an article last year that began with this:
Thirty-five years after President Biden derailed his first White House run amid plagiarism charges, his sister, Valerie Biden Owens, still can’t own up to the truth.
In 1987, when Biden was a senator from Delaware, he tried to pass off another politician’s material as his own — and then attempted to explain away the blatant steal with a tired excuse.
But, in her soon-to-be-published memoir, “Growing Up Biden” (Celadon), out April 12, Owens claims that Biden did nothing wrong.
Owens effusively praises her big brother, whose campaigns she managed for decades, as “an honorable man defined by his character.”
“To see my brother maligned on the one thing that had always been his calling card — his integrity — was devastating,” she writes.
The Post says, "But the scandal that cast doubt on Biden’s honesty was entirely his own fault."
And the Post concludes with this: "Thirty-five years later, Owens still insists her brother is incapable of fibbing."
“Our parents drilled it into our heads from birth that … we were expected to tell the truth—no matter what,” she writes. “The truth might be embarrassing or ugly or shameful sometimes, but my parents made us understand that truth is the only option.
“This ethos taught us everything we knew about what it meant to be a Biden.”
President Biden is also a "devout" Catholic, although his church and his actions say otherwise.
We the people, are also learning what it means to be a "Biden."
