Preisdent Joe Biden has never been accused of sweating the details…but an explosive new lawsuit has just brought some facts to light about Biden’s handling of national security information concerning a possible nuclear confrontation that should keep all Americans sweating at night, and praying for our country.
When North Korea tried to blackmail the world by test-launching a missile, Biden had the secret briefing sent to his unsecured, private email address.
The story unfolded in a massive number of emails finally released by the National Archives (NARA), after conservative lawyers pried them out of the archives’ hands by filing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit.
The email was sent by Antony Blinken, who is now secretary of state, tipping off Joe Biden that North Korea had tried to launch a missile earlier in the day…because Biden had likely missed the enormous, potentially deadly news.
“Just in case you missed it, the North Korean rocket failed somewhere between the first and second stages,” Blinken wrote. “Will take some time to determine why.”
He signed the email simply “Tony.”
The email—dated April 12, 2012, and which you can read here—was sent, not to Biden’s official and secure government email address, but to a private email account: [email protected].
Blinken sent an update two days later to the same email, and it was released but redacted — blacked out — under a so-called P5 exemption. The government can bury lots of information under the the Presidential Records Act if it claims the records “would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”
“Shades of Hillary?” asked John Solomon, the award-winning reporter who founded Just The News.

Biden received numerous emails to at least three private email addresses set up under phony names. All told, a FOIA case, filed by the Southeastern Legal Foundation, found 82,000 pages of emails sent to Joe Biden’s pseudonymous email accounts during Biden’s time as Barack Obama’s vice president.
Often, they contained information about sensitive international relations.
Biden decided the fact that Blinken — who at the time was national security advisor to the vice president and an advisor to then-President Barack Obama — had a habit of repeatedly sending secret information to insecure accounts deserved a promotion. Blinken is now Secretary of State.
Blinken’s 2012 emails came at a pivotal time, as Kim Jong Un had just taken over North Korea’s dictatorship from his dad, Kim Jong-il, in December 2011.
North Korea has used nuclear blackmail to get Western powers to shower it with foreign aid ever since the communist dictatorship shut nuclear inspectors out of its facilities in 1993. Then-President Bill Clinton signed off on the 1994 U.S.–DPRK Agreed Framework, which was supposed to stop North Korea’s nuclear program cold in its tracks in exchange for money and food.
North Korea pulled out of the agreement in 2003 and announced it had developed multiple nuclear weapons in 2007.
Since then, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has periodically launched missiles into the Sea of Japan or threatened to nuke its neighbors in return for more U.S. aid.
Kim Jong Un launched this missile while plotting how to proceed and testing whether America would stand strong.
Naturally, Barack Obama, with Joe Biden at his side, immediately caved.
“In February 2012, the Obama Administration agreed to resume large-scale food assistance in return for North Korean promises to take certain steps on its nuclear and long-range missile programs,” according to a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. “However, the agreement unraveled less than a month after it was reached.”
The NARA emails are just another example of how Joe Biden mishandled classified information throughout his five-decade-long political career.
Investigations by Robert Hur found that Biden wrongly took home classified documents as a senator and as vice president which he did not have proper authorization to keep.
Biden admitted he stored those highly classified documents in the garage of his Delaware mansion, next to his 1967 Corvette Stingray.
Numerous photos depicted his son, Hunter Biden—who sometimes lived in the mansion—riding in that Corvette…and at one time, Hunter Biden actually claimed he owned the house in question.

To complicate matters, as The Horn has reported, the First Son’s early emails to Ukrainian energy company Burisma seem to show that he had knowledge of classified information about Eastern Europe.
Hillary Clinton homebrew email server. The Chinese Communist Party reportedly hacked Hillary’s emails, giving it a strategic leg-up in every negotiation they had with the United States during her time as secretary of state.
The Chinese Communist Party has a close relationship with the Communist dictatorship in North Korea, and they regularly cooperate on intelligence and foreign policy matters. Beijing often acts as a big brother (lowercase “b”) to Pyongyang.
Is it possible China hacked Joe Biden’s gmail accounts and turned that information over to North Korea?
If not, it was a matter of blind luck, because Biden has done absolutely nothing to keep national secrets—or the American people—safe.
