The
National Archives and Records Administration recently admitted that it is in
possession of nearly 5,400 emails,
electronic records and documents that potentially show President Biden
using pseudonyms during his vice presidency…but it is effectively refusing to release them. NARA
confirmed the existence of the vast quantity of sender-disguised emails in
response to a June 2022 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the
Southeastern Legal Foundation, a nonprofit constitutional legal group. The
request sought emails pertaining to the accounts of Robin Ware, Robert L.
Peters, and JRB Ware — all pseudonyms the now 80-year-old president was known
to use in the White House during his time as vice-president under President
Barack Obama.
Why do
folks usually try to send anonymous emails, or missives using an assumed name?
Perhaps to keep themselves separated from information-- or actions-- they don’t
wish others to know they possessed-- or undertook? Plausible deniability? Surely
a Biden wouldn’t involve himself in any kind of nefarious activity, right?
One
wonders if an email such as this was part of the trove:
“Note:
Dear NARA, DO NOT comply with the Southeastern Legal Foundation’s FOIA request!
(They are a bunch off biased jerks, not like the wonderful folks at the
Southern Poverty Law Center.) There will be hell to pay if you do!”
Sincerely,
Robert L. Peters
