Why Do We Let Government Officials Like Biden Use Fake Names?

We don’t let government officials use fake IDs, why do we let them use fake emails?

We’ve known about the Biden ‘Robert L. Peters’ and other pseudos for some time now. The real question is why the practice of top government officials utilizing fake government email accounts wasn’t stamped out after the EPA scandal under Obama?

China’s recent hack of the State Dept shows that such measures clearly aren’t keeping foreign adversaries out instead they seem calculated to mislead and obstruct investigations.

We don’t let government officials use fake IDs, why do we let them use fake emails?

The latest development: House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) is demanding unredacted access from the National Archives to emails Biden sent as veep using any of his three known pseudonyms: Robert L. Peters, Robin Ware and JRB Ware. (The prez got a little lazy on #3, it seems.)

Comer outlines the clear possibility that these aliases were an attempt by the then-vice president to deflect scrutiny from his dealings with son Hunter — citing a May 2016 email in which Biden’s schedule for the day was sent to Hunter (the only other real person copied on the email) and the “Peters” alias.

The EPA inspector general wants some answers about Lisa Jackson’s EPA email account in the name of “Richard Windsor.”

The Environmental Protection Agency administrator’s email nom de plume is now officially the subject of an audit by the agency’s inspector general, which received a congressional request to probe EPA’s management of its electronic records.

The practice of assigning a secondary email account to the administrator at EPA is not new to this administration. The intent, the agency says, is for the administrator to have a manageable email account in addition to the one that is openly available to the public.

Letting government officials have a secondary account under an alias makes no sense. Congress mandated that the EPA investigate Jackson, which it did, and responded with a shrug.

Years after that investigation and knowing that Congress had ordered one, Biden was using an alias email account.

Was he also using an alias bank account?
