JOE’S GOTTA GO!

Worried Democrats feeding info to FBI to stop Biden

-

PRESIDENT Joe Biden has been stabbed in the back by Democratic Party turncoats, who are ratting out where he illegally stashed classified documents to trigger an embarrassi­ng scandal that will derail his plans to run again in 2024, D.C. insiders dish.

After Biden’s approval rating plunged to an anemic 40 percent with new polls showing him losing to Republican rivals Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, nervous party bosses took matters into their own hands and lit a fire under his classified documents crisis to torpedo his chances and guarantee a different candidate will top the Democratic ticket in two years, insiders say.

“You have to admire the elegance of their strategy. All it took was a well-placed whisper in the ear of the correct person at the Department of Justice to set the wheels in motion,” spills a party insider. “Now the president is faced with a scandal from which he’s unlikely to escape!”

Sources say the dirty plot against the president was hatched after his own personal attorneys discovered classified documents in early November in a Washington, D.C., office he used following his tenure as Barack Obama’s vice president from 2009 to 2017.

Additional batches were later found in the garage and library of Biden’s personal mansion in Wilmington, Del.

“It was at this point in mid-January that party officials tipped off the Justice Department about more files being held at Biden’s home,” dishes the source. “That informatio­n led to the Jan. 20 FBI search of his mansion and the discovery of an additional six documents as well as several handwritte­n notes.”

Ironically, days later, on Jan. 24, officials found a batch of classified documents at the home of former President Trump’s veep, Mike Pence!

While embarrassi­ng, these discoverie­s appear to be a far cry from Trump’s document scandal, insiders claim.

The former president left the White House in January 2021 with 11,000 government records including 300 with classified markings.

While Biden, Pence and their aides appeared to instantly report and give back the

documents to federal officials, Trump refused to return his, battling the government for 18 months, defying a subpoena and forcing the FBI to obtain a search warrant to recover hush-hush materials at his Palm Beach, Fla., mansion, Mar-a-Lago.

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has promised a vigorous criminal investigat­ion of Trump, saying, “No one is above the law.”

Now Biden, 80, and Pence, 63, face similar scrutiny from Garland’s appointed special counsel, U.S. Attorney Robert Hur.

Biden insists the issue is little to do about nothing, adding he has “no regrets.”

Still, political sources say the humiliatin­g episode is a ticking time bomb that has already claimed its first administra­tion casualty — White

House Chief of

Staff Ron Klain, who is expected to resign shortly after Biden’s State of the Union address Feb. 7.

“Klain is no fool. He saw the writing on the wall and decided to jump ship,” says an insider.

Sources say the decision by party bosses to sabotage Biden was an “easy one.”

According to the latest Harvard CAPS-Harris poll, a full 65 percent of Americans want someone other than him to run for president in 2024 on the Democratic side.

“Biden can’t be allowed to run,” adds the insider. “He must be made to step aside by any means possible!”
