will likely field a few questions about president biden s use of a pseudonym during his time in the obama administration to receive emails. yesterday we learned the national archives and records administration has nearly 5400 emails in other records that potentially show president biden used a pseudonym and a non-profit constitutional legal group has filed a lawsuit to get its hands on the actual documents. editor at large for the spectator and fox news contributor. is your spider sense tingling over all of this, and if so, where is it headed? very much so, john. look, it s not just one pseudonym, it s multiple pseudonyms and the fact that the then vice president was using them is obviously a clear attempt to avoid the kind of transparency that would have resulted from using his real name. the other thing is that one of the things that is already known about many of these emails is that they include sharing
as i just looked for more of those cases, i spoke with people close to the president who essentially said that hey, this was one that not only had the president asked tillerson to do something about this case but that he had also asked tillerson to talk to giuliani so that also obviously got my spidey sense tingling. do we know if anybody other than rex tillerson, rex tillerson according to your reporting didn t do this and shocked and decided it was illegal. do we know if anybody else ever did approach the justice department and lean on them about this prosecution? i know from the case of this gold trader that it took some pretty radical twists and turns before that case was over. do we know if this request from the president was ever carried out by anyone else? no, well, what happened in
sometimes or at the very least alarmed or felt something inappropriate was going on and as i just looked for more of those cases, i spoke with people close to the president who essentially said that hey, this was one that not only had the president asked tillerson to do something about this case but that he had also asked tillerson to talk to giuliani so that also obviously got myspidey sense tingling. do we know if anybody other than rex tillerson, rex tillerson according to your reporting didn t do this and shocked and decided it was illegal. do we know if anybody else ever did approach the justice department and lean on them about this prosecution? i know from the case of this gold trader that it took some pretty radical twists and turns before that case was over. do we know if this request from
this happened. so, at this point, we should point out that black cube has denied involvement, and that no connection with the white house has been made, but, and this is a big but you say, again, the timing of comments made by trump officials tells you something. yeah, i mean, first thing, your the folks watching should know that the black cube denial is not really a denial. they said, they don t talk about who hires them. but they, you know, they weren t hired by the trump administration. what is weird, what kind of got my spider sense tingling, last spring, a number of trump aides started a public smear campaign to blame the entire, you know, what they thought was this deep state conspiracy on the ben rhoads colin call nexus, happened to coincide exactly at the same time that this black cube firm was hired, and coincidentally, also happened around the same time as the president s trip to saudi arabia and israel. you know, if you are, in fact, in the middle of this and
