The National Archives and Records Administration has just raised eyebrows with its stunning announcement that the release of President Joe Biden’s vice presidential records will not happen until after the general election on November 6, 2024. These records reportedly include extensive communications between Joe Biden and none other than his son, Hunter Biden, along with James Biden. It’s the kind of revelation that has conspiracy theorists sharpening their pencils, but the timing of this intel release is certainly more than just coincidental.
The records themselves cover the period from Biden’s time as vice president and include emails with various contacts, touching on matters as mundane as scheduling West Wing tours to potentially more scandalous topics like financial disclosures. With an election looming, one can’t help but wonder: why wait until after the votes are tallied to drop this bombshell? The day after the election seems like a perfect time for a narrative shift, especially if the content is less than flattering for the Biden family.

Intriguingly, this delay contrasts sharply with the judicial system’s approach to the investigations involving former President Donald Trump. Last month, a judge ordered the release of pivotal documents in Trump’s case just before the general election. The apparent double standard here is striking, suggesting that NARA operates under its own set of rules—a reality that doesn’t exactly instill confidence in claims of government transparency. One is left to wonder whether the powers that be are working overtime to protect their favored candidates.
While some might argue that the implications of these records could shake the Democratic establishment to its core, there is a sense that Joe Biden may not even be the candidate by that point. Kamala Harris seems poised to take center stage, and it is unlikely that she or her campaign team had any substantive dealings with Biden during his term as vice president anyway. Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, have enough political baggage to deal with, even without the additional scrutiny on the Biden family.
However, the optics of this delay speak volumes about the current state of affairs in Washington. Rather than fostering a climate of accountability and transparency, the government appears to be operating through the lens of favoritism and selective release of information. The public deserves access to all records, especially those that could potentially influence their voting decisions, but the track record of the Biden administration suggests that a clean slate is far from on the horizon.
In the end, if Kamala Harris is elected, it seems unlikely that anyone will even attempt to wash the windows of transparency that so clearly need cleaning. The focus might well shift from answering questions about the past to merely attempting damage control amid a multitude of scandals in the present. A pattern is emerging, and it paints a troubling picture of governance that favors the elite while stifling serious inquiries into their conduct. The storm is certainly brewing, and the American voters are left wondering what other secrets might remain hidden in the archives until it is far too late to change course.
