secret-senate-
records-at-university-of-delaware-report-says

Joe's Biden's campaign dispatched operatives to the University of
Delaware's library in the past year to rifle through his
secretive Senate
records there, Business Insider reported Thursday -- raising the
possibility they accessed documents related to Tara Reade's
accusation
that he sexually assaulted her when she worked for him in 1993.

The development comes as both The Atlantic and The Washington
Post argued
that Biden should instruct the university to turn over the
records, saying
they "could contain confirmation of any complaint Ms. Reade
made, either
through official congressional channels or to the three other
employees
she claims she informed not specifically of the alleged assault
but more
generally of harassment."

Biden dropped off 1,875 boxes of “photographs, documents,
videotapes, and
files” and 415 gigabytes of electronic records to the University
of
Delaware in 2012. The university initially said it expected to
make the
records “available to the public two years after Biden’s last
day in
elected public office.” In April 2019, just hours before Biden
announced
his current presidential bid, the university changed its mind,
and said
the papers wouldn't be released until either December 31, 2019,
or until
two years after Biden “retires from public life,” whichever
comes later.

Biden campaign officials "rifled through" the documents on "at
least one
occasion," Business Insider reported, citing a statement from
University
spokeswoman Andrea Boyle Tippett. The campaign's visit to the
library came
some point after Biden announced his presidential campaign in
April 2019 -
- but before "mid-March" 2020, when the library closed due to the
coronavirus. No one from the Biden team has visited since the
closure,
Tippett claimed.

The university did not return Fox News' request for comment
Thursday.

TIMELINE SHOWS MEDIA, DEMS TREATED KAVANAUGH MATTER VERY
DIFFERENTLY

Reade made her explosive public claim that Biden sexually
harassed her on
March 25, but in the past year, Reade and several other women
have accused
Biden of inappropriate touching. Biden has also been caught on
camera
touching young girls and making them visibly uncomfortable.

Fox News reported on Thursday that numerous top officials on the
board of
the University of Delaware, which is refusing to release Biden's
Senate
records despite an earlier promise to do so, have close personal
and
financial ties to the former vice president -- and the chairman
of the
board even bought Biden's house in 1996 for $1.2 million,
reportedly a
"top dollar" price given its condition.

The University of Delaware’s charter states that the Board of
Trustees has
“entire control and management of the affairs of the
university," and
notes that no university bylaws "shall diminish or reduce the
Board’s
plenary authority over all matters related to the control and
management
of the affairs of the University."

The current chairman of the board at the University of Delaware,
John
Cochran, is a longtime Biden donor and former CEO of MBNA.

In a January 1998 American Spectator article headlined "The
Senator from
MBNA," columnist Byron York recounted how Cochran, then MBNA's
vice
chairman, paid "top dollar" for Biden's home in February 1996,
just prior
to his Senate re-election bid, and that "MBNA gave Cochran a lot
of
money—$330,000—to help with 'expenses' related to the move."

The $1.2 million sale was a "pretty darned good deal for Biden,"
York
wrote, noting that "Cochran simply paid Biden’s full asking
price" even
though the "house needed quite a bit of work; contractors and
their trucks
descended on the house for months after the purchase."

Asked how Cochran and Biden found each other for the sale, an
MBNA
spokesperson told York: "That’s a very personal question."
Federal
election records also showed top MBNA executives apparently made
a
"concerted" effort to donate to Biden's campaign, York reported.

COMPARING THE EVIDENCE: READE'S CASE VS. CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD'S

Shortly after the house sale, Biden's son Hunter was hired on at
MBNA.
Rachel Mullen, a former senior personal banking officer at MBNA
from 1994-
2001 who later went into Republican politics, tweeted that
managers
referred to the younger Biden as "Senator MBNA" after he was
hired into a
lucrative management-prep track right after he graduated from
Yale Law
School.

As Hunter cashed the checks, Biden was pushing successfully on
the Senate
floor for legislation that would make it harder for consumers to
file for
bankruptcy protection -- benefiting companies like MBNA. In a
contemporaneous interview, Tom Brokaw asked the elder Biden
whether it was
"inappropriate" for the then senator to have his son "collecting
money
from this big credit card company while you were on the [Senate]
floor
protecting its interests."

Tom Brokaw to Joe Biden in 2008:

“Wasn’t it inappropriate for someone like you in the middle of
all this to
have your son collecting money from this big credit card company
while you
were on the floor protecting its interests?”

The Bidens have been cashing in for decades!

Further, at least seven other members of the University of
Delaware's
board of trustees have donated to Biden's political campaigns --
including
a former Biden senior counsel from the Senate, as well as the
state's
governor and other senior officials.

Terri Kelly, the former president and CEO Of W.L. Gore &
Associates, has
served on the university's board of trustees since 2014 -- and
donated the
maximum legal amount to Biden in 2019.

Carol Ammon, who has been on the board since 2013, has given
more than
$10,000 to Biden's campaign and affiliated PACs, federal
election records
show.

John Paradee, a lawyer, joined the board in 2018. He has also
donated
heavily to Biden.

John Carney, the state's governor and another board member, has
also
donated more than $1,000 to Biden.

Claire DeMatteis served as counsel to Biden. Since 2001, she has
given
over $16,000 to Democratic PACs, including Biden's, called Unite
Our
States.

Chai Gadde, a CEO, has donated thousands to Biden.

William Lafferty, a partner at a Delaware law firm who serves on
the board
as well, has also given more than $2,500 Biden's campaign.

Despite some outlets calling for the release of the records held
by these
board members, Senate Democrats and media outlets have been
mostly silent
on Reade's claims, even though they called for an immediate FBI
investigation into claims against then-Supreme Court nominee
Brett
Kavanaugh in 2018. Reade, however, has presented substantially
more
corroborating evidence than Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine
Blasey Ford.

Biden himself hasn't addressed the allegation against him, and
no one in
the media has asked him about it during interviews.
Representatives for
Biden's campaign have denied the allegations, even as some
Democrats have
urged Biden to address the matter himself.

Biden's team has indicated he will address the accusations in-
person on
Friday.
