    Here’s the important part of the article:

    Biden was following a common practice among senior government officials hoping to thwart hackers, as well as prevent spammers from guessing their address and clogging their inbox, according to a White House official.

    Now House Republicans, who have spent months trying and failing to show that Joe Biden was involved in his son Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings, want the National Archives to hand over more than 5,000 messages from Biden’s vice presidency that relate to those email addresses, thinking those messages might reveal something new.

      Yeah and im guessing they will be totally cool with the next republican president (may it never be) having all their emails regularly scrutinized because it might have something to do with something. Oh and hey. How about their own. I mean we don’t know that any member of congress was not helping hunter biden, right?

        10 years on they’ll be just as close as ever to “owning the libs” and proving “both sides” are just as corrupt and awful.
