Was UPenn's Biden Center a money laundering operation for Quid Pro Joe ?
The Biden Center made news with a report that Quid Pro Joe had classified government documents from his time as VP stored unauthorized in his office at the Biden Center at U Penn.
Unlike Trump's executive power to declassify information, as VP, Clueless Joe had no such authority.
But it raises an old question ;is it actually a money laundering operation for Quid Pro Joe and the Biden crime family ?
Consider this ; Sec State Blinken served as Penn's Biden Center before he was appointed to be Sec State.
It was a holding pen in the revolving door between public and private sector jobs for future administration officials ;especially ones in national security positions .
Besides Blinken alums from the Biden Center include Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl, U.S. ambassador to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Michael Carpenter, U.S. deputy ambassador to the United Nations Jeffrey Prescott and UPenn’s longtime former president, Amy Gutmann was appointed as ambassador to Germany.

The Ivy League college raked in a total of $54.6 million from 2014 through June 2019 in donations from China, including $23.1 million in anonymous gifts starting in 2016, according to public records.
Most of the anonymous donations came after the university announced in February 2017 that it would create the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement. Joe Biden, whose term as vice president had just ended, was to lead the center and was also named a professor at the university.
The center, which is located in Washington, DC, opened its doors in February 2018. Antony Blinken, whom Biden named as secretary of state, briefly served as its managing director.
The Ivy League university received $15.8 million in anonymous Chinese gifts that year, including one eye-popping $14.5 million donation in May 2018, records show.
