The Bidens

NOTE: This OP will be multiple parts. Please wait until all parts are posted to reply.

Greetings ATS readers, writers, lurkers, trolls, shills, bots, partisans, and sundry.

In this thread we will be taking a look at Joe Biden et al.

In 1969, Joe was elected to city council and served there until 1972 during which year he was first elected to senate in November; in December, his wife, and young children were in an automobile accident:

Dec. 18, 1972 — Wife and three children are in an automobile accident while Christmas shopping. Wife Neilia and daughter Naomi die. Sons Beau and Hunter are critically injured but fully recover.

I have to say that for some reason this event perks up my conspiratorial ears due to its close proximity to him having been elected to the senate for the first time.

[tinhat]The car accident wasn't an accident, but rather a way to control a newly seated senator with an eye to the long game?[/tinhat]

A few years later, Joe met Jill, got married, and had another child:

Biden credits his second wife, teacher Jill Tracy Jacobs, with the renewal of his interest in politics and life;[41] they met in 1975 on a blind date arranged by Biden's brother (who had known Jacobs in college)[42] and were married at the United Nations chapel in New York on June 17, 1977.[43][44] They are Roman Catholics and attend Mass at St. Joseph's on the Brandywine in Greenville, Delaware.[45] Their daughter Ashley Blazer (born 1981)[15] is a social worker.[46]

Beau Biden became an Army Judge Advocate in Iraq and later Delaware Attorney General;[47] he died of brain cancer in 2015.[48][49] Hunter Biden is a Washington attorney and lobbyist.[50]

We will look in detail at Joe's record in the Senate and as VP later in the thread.

In another thread, IAMTAT asked me if I had ever looked into the Beau Biden Foundation and up until the preparation for this thread, I had not.

That being the case, and this thread being devoted to all things Biden, I scratched around a little and this is what I discovered:

Hallie Biden is Beau's widow, elsewhere it has been posted about Hunter having dated Hallie for a time after Beau's death and I will not recount any of that here at present; it may possibly be brought up later in the thread, but for now it is nothing more than a footnote.

Likewise, Hunter and Ashley Biden have been posted about elsewhere on the site and each will receive closer looks later in the thread, but for now I wish to focus on the other members of the board of the Beau Biden foundation:

DOVER, DELAWARE: Delaware State University named Bank of America’s Tony Allen as provost and chief academic officer last week.
...
Allen has also served as cofounder of Public Allies Delaware, a group that helps young adults interested in careers in public service. He was also a speechwriter and special assistant to then-Sen. Joe Biden. The former vice president wished Allen luck in the new role on Twitter last week.

"Congrats & good luck to my former staffer Dr. Tony Allen, incoming Provost of @DelStateUniv! A great fit for a passionate public servant.

General Francis D. Vavala is a retired Army National Guard officer who served as the Adjutant General of the State of Delaware. He received the promotion in February 1999 after the retirement of Major General George Hastings.[1] In January 2017, Vavala was promoted to lieutenant general in the Delaware Militia. In April 2017, Vavala was promoted to general, in the Delaware Militia, in honor of 50 years of service. He is the first Delaware National Guardsman to achieve four-star rank and one of the very few American service members to have risen from Private to 4 Star General.[2]

Also related to General Vavala:

A return to civilian life is three weeks away for some soldiers in the Delaware Army National Guard after almost a year in Iraq. In the case of JAG Capt. Beau Biden, the homecoming also will catapult him back into an intensifying political life.

...

"It's much, much better than the departure ceremony," said Major General Frank Vavala, the adjutant general of the Delaware National Guard.

Louis Joseph Freeh (born January 6, 1950) is an American attorney and former judge who served as the fifth Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation from September 1993 to June 2001. Freeh began his career as a special agent in the FBI, and was later an Assistant United States Attorney and United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. A Republican, he was later appointed as FBI director by President Bill Clinton.[1][2] He is now a lawyer and consultant in the private sector.

Wikipedia

Interestingly enoug, Freeh was in charge of the FBI during the Khobar Towers incident, and due to then president Clinton's reluctance, were unable to do anything with the information they acquireed:

Louis Freeh was born 1950 and began his career as an FBI agent. He later became an assistant United States attorney, famous as lead prosecutor in the “Pizza Connection” organized crime investigation. He was appointed a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of New York by President George H.W. Bush. Judge Freeh was sworn in as FBI director – the nation’s fifth ever – on Sept. 1, 1993.
...
In Freeh’s account, Clinton and his administration wanted to appease Iran and so intentionally withheld the investigative support that the FBI desperately needed. Again and again, Freeh reports, Clinton and Gore failed to make the strong request of cooperation that the FBI required.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top political aide to Vice President Joe Biden's late son joined the super PAC working to recruit the elder Biden to run for president on Sunday, lending the group newfound credibility in the midst of fresh signs the vice president's aides are taking a close look at a 2016 campaign.

Josh Alcorn, a longtime Democratic operative, had been former Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden's top political and fundraising adviser before he died of brain cancer in May. A known commodity in the Biden world, Alcorn raised money for Joe Biden's 2008 presidential campaign, and also served in the top fundraising role for Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid's vast political operation.

+Note on Chen Carrera

In the 990's found here for the Beau Biden Foundation, Chen Carrera's last name is misspelled for both years listed the same way; it is spelled, "Carerra," as opposed to, "Carrera."

[tinhat]This little detail may be minuscule, but this kind of thing has been seen before and looks a lot like IC activity anytime it rears its head.[/tinhat]

And that, ATS, is my OP.
