The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden

By Mike McCormick

The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden is author Mike McCormick’s eyewitness account from six years as Joe Biden’s White House stenographer, traveling with him to Ukraine and Honduras and many other countries. During this assignment, he found the vice president buffoonish and unpresidential. McCormick, who made national news in April 2023 by revealing he submitted evidence to the FBI that would impeach Joe Biden, confirms that he was interviewed extensively about his knowledge of Biden’s corruption and evil by investigators from the House Oversight Committee and the Senate Homeland Security Governmental Affairs Committee.

McCormick ultimately recognized the crimes that then-Vice President Biden perpetrated in his dealings with Ukraine and Honduras only after receiving a verified copy of the Hunter Biden Laptop. By cross-referencing materials in the Hunter Biden Laptop with President Obama’s White House website and congressional testimony by Joe’s co-conspirators, plus his own recollections, McCormick weaves a devastating timeline that pinpoints Joe Biden as the mastermind of a kickback scheme with Burisma Holdings that enriched him and Hunter Biden.

Also detailed in this book is Joe Biden’s treasonous Alliance for Prosperity, which funded cartel-affiliated cocaine smugglers in the Honduran government who were then under investigation by the DEA with hundreds of millions of US taxpayer dollars.

McCormick courageously identifies US government officials who assisted Joe Biden in his evil schemes, including then president Barack Obama. And McCormick names the journalists who continue to cover for the Obama–Biden corruption. Despite all the evidence, he has not yet been asked to testify under oath about what he saw. That’s why he’s written this book.

Advance Praise for The Case to Impeach

Mike McCormick had a rare fly-on-the-wall view of Joe Biden during his peripatetic years as the self-appointed viceroy of Air Force 2. The former White House stenographer intersperses cold-eyed observations of the then-vice president with extracts from his son Hunter’s famous laptop and wry memories of transcribing Biden’s rambling lingo, in which a single sentence could stretch over two pages. It’s a rollicking read, which amounts to a searing indictment of a man who used the privileges of high office to further his family’s private fortunes.

About the Author

Foreword

Thirsty Joe

October 2023

Bethesda, Maryland

I was Joe Biden’s White House stenographer from January 2011 through January 2017. I don’t know him personally, but I used to record and transcribe every speech and interview he did during those years. I heard what Joe said as I was recording, I heard it again as I played it during transcription, and then, finally, one last time as I edited out mistakes and typos.

So, while I don’t know him and he doesn’t know me, I know a lot about Joe Biden because almost everything he said in public as Barack Obama’s vice president, I heard in triplicate.

Back then, he said a lot. And, yeah, triplicate.

Someone once asked what it was like being Joe Biden’s stenographer. My answer is: Remember the circuses way back in the day? The circus would come to town and parade through the streets to get everyone excited. Big cheers for the clowns and acrobats, but especially for the elephants—all in a line—well trained and walking through the city. They were always at the end of the parade. And inevitably, they were followed by a guy with a broom and shovel. Well, as Joe Biden’s stenographer, I was the broom-and-shovel guy behind the world’s biggest circus elephant. Mess after mess after mess.

Joe Biden wasn’t the only vice president I worked for. I also worked for Dick Cheney for five years and Mike Pence for one year. Neither Democrat, nor Republican, I’m a registered Independent with a conservative perspective. So, I’m not a conspiracy theorist or misinformation operative, but rather an eyewitness to the behind-the-scenes, White House activities of three presidents and their vice presidents.

I started my job as a contractor with the White House Stenographers Office in October 2002. I left briefly from March 2007 to April 2010 to pursue other opportunities, but then returned in the economic downturn around the housing crisis. I was assigned to Barack Obama for my first year back, but later volunteered for the hardship duty of being Joe Biden’s stenographer from January 2011 to January 2017.

I was definitely taking one for the team, but I didn’t mind. I had young kids, and my VP stenographer duties meant more time at home because I wasn’t obligated to travel with the VP domestically, only on foreign trips. Plus, I found the adulation around Obama way overdone.

But what I didn’t realize was how much Joe Biden lusted for the presidency. His ambition was relentless, as were the lies that fed it. That made him almost manic in his pursuit of media attention. Unlike Dick Cheney, who didn’t want to be president, Joe did lots of events—often late into the evening. My job consisted of long days listening to a lot of Joe Biden authenticity.

But I racked up regular overtime, which made for good paychecks.

When I worked for him, I thought Joe was harmless—egotistical, buffoonish, and unpresidential, but harmless. Now I think of him as an evil criminal who should be impeached and imprisoned.

It’s not me that’s changed, it’s what I’ve come to know about Joe. After getting a laptop loaded with an exact copy of the Hunter Biden laptop, I was able to see behind his facade of being Middle-Class Joe, who, as a politician, claimed to be a foreign policy expert with the world’s best interests at heart.

That’s not who he really is—what you’re about to read is.

Please understand, I don’t want to write this book—because I don’t want to believe America has gotten to this point. I don’t want to believe that one man, an evil criminal, with his operatives and congressional colleagues (most of whom are Democrats but also many so-called Republicans) could bring our country and our world to such a point of crisis. Joe Biden has unleashed raw political power on our country and world as has never been done before.

But that’s where we are.

If the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing, then I’m writing this book. It’s the something I can do to help people understand how we got to this point of American history and what we can do to rectify it: namely, impeach and imprison Joe Biden—and his co-conspirators.

All of them.

In a speech at Yale University Class Day on May 17th, 2015, Joe Biden revealed his truest self when he said, Ambition is really important. You need it. And I certainly have never lacked in having ambition. But ambition without perspective can be a killer.¹

Joe Biden has been driven by the most malevolent ambition imaginable. There is no doubt in my mind that in his pursuit of the presidency, he lost whatever perspective he ever had. Kids these days would say he’s thirsty. I say he’s killer evil.

Two weeks to the day after he offered that personal insight, Joe Biden’s beloved son Beau died in a hospital bed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after a long battle with glioblastoma. He passed away surrounded by his family. Some will insist the Bidens are loving and admirable, but the dark truth is many of them were then profiting from Joe Biden’s prostitution of his vice presidency—and had been for years.

The darker truth is to do that, they—Joe’s operatives and Joe—regularly committed astounding acts of evil without a hint of remorse.

So, is it surprising that two short years after Beau’s death, his widow, Hallie, was smoking crack and doing selfie-porn with his crackhead brother, Hunter? Or that Hunter, who was divorced and estranged from his family, was documenting month-long binges of drugs and sex with prostitutes on his laptop?

Is it surprising that three years after Beau’s death, one of his protégés, lawyer Alexander Mackler, was working for Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss on the team that was stonewalling the investigation of the business crimes Hunter committed with Joe?

Is it surprising that four years after Beau’s death, his sister, Ashley Biden, memorialized her self-loathing, drug use, and infidelity in a diary she kept during a stint at a Florida rehab, only to have it stolen and published online?

Not at all—especially not if you’ve sifted through the Biden laptop as I have.

Is it surprising that helping the Bidens with their crime spree was none other than President Barack Obama, who delivered a moving eulogy at Beau’s funeral even as he greenlighted every criminal act Joe did? Not if you know Obama as I do.

Joe’s boss, Barack Obama, pulled every lever of political power at his disposal to cover for his and Joe’s crimes. And he is still doing so.

Standing astride all of them is Joe Biden, the Democrat who campaigned from his basement and still received the highest vote total of any presidential candidate in American history—81 million votes—way more than the 69.5 million Barack the Almighty got in 2008.

It was Joe Biden’s life ambition to be the president of the United States. But to do that, he killed off any reasonable perspective he ever had and conducted a win-at-all-costs presidential campaign in 2020.

God help us as we clean up the mess.

You’re about to read my fly-on-the-wall observations as Joe’s stenographer, mixed with excerpts from a series of investigative columns I published in my Midnight in the Laptop of Good and Evil Substack.

I have documented enough evidence to not only impeach Joe Biden out of office, but also to convict him and many others of a variety of crimes. It was a vast conspiracy.

I began my Substack when I was given, no-strings-attached, a copy of the Biden laptop by Garrett Ziegler, the leader of the anti-corruption nonprofit Marco Polo, in October 2021. I will be forever grateful to Garrett and the anonymous patriots in his organization for helping me fully understand the evil we must confront and defeat. Garrett and his Marco Polo crew are modern American heroes.

As you read, you’ll see paste-ins of the Biden laptop emails I’ve recovered from Marco Polo’s excellent website, BidenLaptopEmails.com. The paste-ins of these emails are accurate and irrefutable. These are the same emails the FBI have verified, the same emails news organizations like the New York Post, Fox News, the Daily Mail, CBS News, One America News Network, Newsmax, and many others have used in their reporting since October 2020.

And they’re the same emails that will haunt the cowards at the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Associated Press, Reuters, NBC News, ABC News, USA Today, Bloomberg, and many other news organizations for generations.

I’ve also published the original screenshots of those emails on my website JoeBidenUnauthorized.com. Don’t want to believe they are verifiable? Search it. You’ll see. They are real, and they are fantastic.

I’ve also done paste-ins of Obama White House transcripts, Obama White House press releases, read-ins, and other publicly released documents. There are paste-ins of congressional documents publicly released as part of the investigations into the Biden Crime Family, as well. For the chapter on the Bidens and the Cartels, there are paste-ins from Department of Justice press releases.

There are also paste-ins—with permission—from Marco Polo’s Report on the Biden Laptop, which courageously reveals a dark chapter of American history. The Marco Polo group’s research was so thorough, their facts are unassailable. The Report on the Biden Laptop is raw truth, but it’s real truth. I have a copy of it because it’s important American history. I urge anyone who wants to support a monumental American anti-corruption campaign to buy a copy. But keep it away from the kids—blame the sicko Bidens for that.

I have substantially repurposed several chapters from my Substacks and have added updated information, as well. I’ve uncovered so much evidence to impeach and imprison Joe Biden, I can’t fit it all in one book. So, stay tuned, as there will be much more on the way—in Substacks and books!

Chapter One

March 17th–19th, 2014

The Biden Burisma Kickback Scheme Kicks Off

I’ve worked some disorganized, off-the-cuff Joe Biden trips, but the one he took to Warsaw, Poland and Vilnius, Lithuania on March 17th–19th, 2014, stands out in my mind as one of the craziest. It was on that daylong romp through Warsaw, I think, where Joe Biden personally negotiated his role in the Burisma kickback scheme.

Part of the chaos came from the timing of the trip, which followed the Crimean status referendum that Putin had set up to legitimize his invasion with a one-day vote. Illegal under Ukrainian law, and widely viewed as a sham, the quickie election, of course, went Russia’s way—meaning Putin could claim Crimeans had voted to join Russia.

Sounds like the swing states in America’s 2020 presidential election, doesn’t it? Break the law and fake the election. And who did Barack Obama send as the best man to counter Putin’s fraudulent election? Joe Biden, of course.

As I recall, we left in the evening of March 17th and flew all night—about nine hours—on Air Force Two. Any fixed-wing aircraft the vice president flies on—large, small, or in-between—is designated Air Force Two (AF2) and is always flown by Air Force pilots, most of whom are stationed at Joint Base Andrews in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

At about 11:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Jake Sullivan came back to the rear compartment where I and the traveling press were seated. I grabbed my digital recorder and microphone from my carry-on bag at my feet, while the reporters scrambled to get out their recorders. Sullivan, the current national security advisor, was Joe’s vice presidential national security advisor from February 2013 through July 2014.

Sullivan explained to the reporters that he was speaking anonymously as a senior administration official on background. That wasn’t unusual. Background briefings are commonplace, especially during travel. Sullivan was basically following protocol. And in this briefing, he was speaking for Vice President Joe Biden who was speaking for President Barack Obama.

Part of his briefing addressed the question of energy security. It’s important to understand that Joe Biden had been looking at Ukrainian energy security since 2009, when he first traveled there as vice president. Almost immediately upon taking office, Biden had helped set up the Obama administration working group for Ukrainian energy security—meaning, he knew all the players, including Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas conglomerate now being investigated by the House Oversight Committee for bribing him and Hunter.

Putin had been bullying Ukraine and Europe for years by halting Russian natural gas shipments through Ukrainian pipelines. His March 2014 invasion gave him possession over substantial shale gas reserves in Crimea and a threatening influence over the even larger shale gas reserves in the Donbas region.

And which Ukrainian private natural gas producer had the most extensive licenses for shale gas extraction in Crimea and the Donbas and was on the verge of an aggressive expansion?

Why, Burisma Holdings, of course.

Here’s a paste-in of the introduction and the energy portion of the transcript of Jake Sullivan’s almost midnight briefing. And it looks like I omitted a key element in the headline. Underneath En Route Warsaw, Poland, I should have typed (March 17, 2014) to reflect the briefing was recorded March 17th. The March 18th date reflects the time of release. That was my error. No one is perfect, certainly not me. Here’s the link to the original.²

The White House                    Office of the Vice President

For Immediate Release          March 18, 2014

Background Press Briefing by a Senior Administration Official on the Vice President’s Trip to Poland and Lithuania

Aboard Air Force Two

En Route Warsaw, Poland

11:24 P.M. EST

SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: This is on background as a senior administration official, and given the late hour, I’m going to beg your forgiveness for keeping it short.

So the Vice President is making stops in Warsaw and Vilnius first and foremost to reassure our allies who are deeply concerned about Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine and what the broader implications of those actions might be.

***

Q: One more thing about natural gas shipments. That’s sort of become a bit of a talking point. Will the Vice President have a specific message related to U.S. efforts to accelerate the ability for us to engage in LNG trade with Europe? And how relevant is it to these leaders that we’re going to be meeting? Would that be something that they would welcome and ask for?

SENIOR ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL: So for tonight’s purposes I would just say that he’ll be talking about the range of issues related to energy diversification, which includes alternative forms of energy -- nuclear, shale, alternative sources of supply. And as respects the question of what the United States can do, we’re obviously looking at what the United States can do domestically that serves both U.S. interests and European interests.

But in terms of more specifics, we’ll have an opportunity to talk further in the next couple days. [emphasis added]

Notice at the question about LNG (liquified natural gas), Sullivan guides the topic toward shale and energy diversification. That was by design. Joe knew energy diversification was the simple term the press could comprehend. And it sounded similar to Obama’s all of the above energy policy. At that time, that’s what Joe told Sullivan to say while pushing Ukrainian fracking that would specifically benefit Burisma’s planned expansion. Joe didn’t want American LNG as a solution because he was already planning his kickback scheme to assist Ukrainian/Burisma fracking.

This briefing transcript is evidence of Joe—and his operatives, led by his then chief of staff, Steve Ricchetti—making their case to the public through Jake Sullivan, who, according to the transcript, was speaking anonymously as a senior administration official. But I can reveal Sullivan as the speaker because I was standing next to him to record his words for the transcript.

This was information warfare, in which a sympathetic press was a huge asset for the Obama/Biden White House. And speaking as the impartial White House Press Office stenographer who worked for three presidents, I can assure you the press coverage of the Obama/Biden White House was practically brotherly love.

I don’t have an independent recollection of working through the night to type and complete the transcript, but that’s what I would have done.

My transcription assignments began with me using a handheld microphone and a digital recorder to record the audio of the principal’s presentation. It was important that I used audio that I recorded. (Occasionally, though, I was tasked to use audio that was supplied to me by Joe’s coms staffers, and I’ll have more on that later.)

But I only recorded speeches or interviews the president or vice president or one of their officials did in the presence of the press. I did not have top secret clearance. And I did not record or attend policy meetings—I dealt only with what was considered public-facing information.

In other words, I was pretty low on the totem pole.

So, in the case of this late-night briefing with Jake Sullivan, I heard him say only what the reporters heard him say. And they had their recording devices to help them file their reports. But my transcript was the official White House version of what was said, and I completed it as quickly as possible.

My typing station on AF2 was a flight attendant’s jump seat next to an electrical outlet and a printer in a small alcove behind the amidships bathroom. I would sit in the jump seat with my laptop perched on my lap. The audio I used was from a digital recorder. I would load the audio of Joe’s speech—or in this case, Sullivan’s briefing—into the transcription software on my laptop. I used a foot pedal connected to my laptop through a USB port to advance the audio as I typed nonstop. And, of course, I listened through noise-canceling headphones. I had to do that with Joe. It was the only way to decipher his often-indecipherable phrases. He’s a lot worse now than ten years ago. But even then, he was a fumble-mouthed mess.

It didn’t matter that the briefing was a late-nighter. I didn’t sleep on planes when I worked at the White House, mostly because I had to hit the ground running for a full day’s work. After a couple of White House trips, I learned that jet lag is a luxury for commercial travel.

AF1, which I’ve flown on numerous times, has wide, comfortable reclining seats. AF2, in the section I was assigned, does not. Joe, of course, flew in the front cabin bedded down on his pullout sofa bed. So, that March 2014 flight into Warsaw was a long night for me, but pretty comfortable for him.

But then something strange happened, and it was the only time I ever did this on a Joe Biden trip. For some reason, we went straight from the airplane to a three-hour, freshen-up stop at a posh hotel. Not enough time to get any sleep, just to freshen up. As I said, I never did that anywhere else with Joe Biden. I’ve done freshen-up stops with President Bush on AF1. But that was the only time I did that with Joe Biden. And I’ll get to why I think that was significant later.

Our day in Warsaw was hectic and electric. Putin was on the move. Russian tanks and unmarked troops were then occupying Crimea without a battle being fought. The Poles were unnerved by the stealth invasion of their neighbor, and Barack Obama was sending Joe Biden to help.

Wow.

Also in Warsaw that day was Estonian President Toomas Ilves. Estonia is one of the three Baltic states—Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania—that, as neighbors of Russia, shared Poland’s fear of Putin and Russia. So, on that day, the 18th, Joe was set to meet two Polish leaders—president and prime minister—and the Estonian president. And there was no overnight in Warsaw. At the end of the day’s events, we motorcaded right back to AF2 for a quick flight and eventual overnight in Lithuania. The following day, he met with the presidents of Latvia and Lithuania in the Presidential Palace in Vilnius.

Joe loved the drama. The international news coverage was a huge boost for him. Laboring in Barack Obama’s shadow, he usually didn’t get that much media. The more the attention, the thirstier he got. Big toothy smile, arm-grabbing handshake, and a hearty, Hey, man!

Lots and lots of Hey, mans. Joe didn’t care what the native language was. With him it was always, Hey, man!

The first event was a meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk at the Prime Minister’s Chancellery. After their meeting, both men made remarks, which I recorded. But with so many movements, I had to type them later on the plane or in my hotel room. The next stop was at Poland’s Presidential Palace for a meeting and remarks with President Komorowski. The final meeting with Estonian President Ilves was at the Warsaw Marriott. In between all these meetings were photo ops, and I even heard staffers whispering about how Joe wanted to visit a must-see pickle shop.

Like I said, crazy.

But it was the remarks he made with President Komorowski that hold the clues to the secretive moves being made with the Biden Crime Family and Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian natural gas conglomerate. Here’s a paste-in from the transcript I prepared.³

The White House                    Office of the Vice President

For Immediate Release          March 18, 2014

Remarks to the Press by Vice President Joe Biden with President Bronislaw Komorowski of Poland

Presidential Palace

Warsaw, Poland

3:47 P.M. (Local)

VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN: Mr. President, thank you very much. Let me begin where you ended. Russia has increased their budget. But I want to remind you, you have an ally whose budget is larger than the next 10 nations in the world combined. So while others may not have stood up to their responsibilities, the United States has more than stood up to its responsibilities. We have a budget larger than the next 10 nations in the world combined, so don’t worry about where we are. Number one.

***

Fifteen years ago, I was honored, as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to lead the fight for Poland’s admission into NATO -- in other words, to put that very commitment, that very commitment of Article 5, put that in place for Poland. Have no doubt, the United States will honor its commitments. We always do. [emphasis added]

***

Mr. President, President Obama and I want the Polish people to know that there is a deep, deep commitment to Poland that lives in the hearts of a vast majority of Americans. And I’m sure any Pole who has ever visited America -- the United States has felt it. It’s real. It’s deep.

And if you’ll excuse, as we used to say when I was in the United States Senate, Mr. President, a point of personal privilege -- there’s a Polish
