New records from the U.S. Secret Service show that President Biden’s German shepherd, Commander, was an out-of-control Hound from Hell that terrified Secret Service agents.
Obtained by Judicial Watch, the records show that Biden watched the vicious canine bite an agent. In an email, one agent told a colleague to have a “safe shift,” clearly hoping the probably-terrified agent went home with all 10 fingers, sans a hole in an expensive suit, or worse, an arm.
Preceded as first dog by the equally aggressive biter Major, Commander was so dangerous that agents wanted him muzzled.
The Bidens finally rehomed the snarling, snapping man-eater, but not before dozens of bites.
Emails
Judicial Watch obtained 116 pages of records about the pandemonium pursuant to a Freedom of Information Request, and then a federal lawsuit filed to obtain the records because the Secret Service refused to release them.
And for good reason. The records show that Biden’s dog was out of control. And it was the second Biden German shepherd that bit agents. The first, Major, was removed from the White House for the same reason.
An email between Secret Service officials on September 12, 2023 reads as follows:
POTUS took Commander (on a leash) to the Kennedy Garden this evening for a walk. While POTUS and Commander were in the Kennedy Garden I was standing half way from the Book-Sellers and the Family Theater. POTUS opened the Book-Seller door and said [redacted]. As I started to walk toward him to see if he needed help, Commander ran through his legs and bit my left arm through the front of my jacket. I pulled my arm away and yelled no. POTUS also yelled [redacted] to Commander. POTUS then [redacted]. I obliged and Commander let me pet him. When turning to close the door, Commander jumped again and bit my left arm for the second time. POTUS again yelled at Commander and attached the leash to him. My suit coat has 3 holes,1 being all the way through. No skin was broken.
Two days later, an agent on Biden’s detail sent an email about Biden’s dog biting him on May 12, 2021. He wanted $943 for a new suit because “through no fault or negligence of my own, the coat was torn by a dog bite,” the email said. The biter in that case would have been Major, whom the Bidens gave away in December 2021.
Commander bit a uniformed agent on September 25, 2023, the records show. “FYI – there was a dog bite and the Officer may need to go [to] the hospital,” an email says. “Have a safe shift!”
When a CNN reporter asked the agency whether an agent was hospitalized after Commander bit her, the White House confessed to the bite but not the hospital trip.
Continued the release from Judicial Watch:
“A September 27, 2023, email from a Secret Service worker’s compensation official in the Safety, Health & Environmental Division writes to several colleagues: ‘Heads up and FYI. TMZ just reported a dog bite at the White House! Can we please find a way to get this dog muzzled.’”
A colleague asks, “How does TMZ know before we do???” An official in the same division responds “Not sure. We must get this dog muzzled.” Another replies, “Geezzzz…”. Another adds, “Unbelievable!”
The emails show that Joe Biden is “personally responsible for attacks by his dog Commander on Secret Service personnel!” Judicial Watch chieftain Tom Fitton wrote on X. “No wonder the Biden White House forced @JudicialWatch to go to federal court for these records.”
Other Bites
Judicial Watch’s FOIA requests uncovered White House lies about Major’s record of bites, and pursued more documents after tipsters revealed that Commander was a dangerous dog, too. The outfit “uncovered documents last July showing 10 biting incidents,” the release noted.
Those records revealed this email exchange between a victim of an attack by Commander and a colleague:
[Victim] My leg and arm still hurts. He bit me twice and ran at me twice.
[Colleague] What a joke … if it wasn’t their dog he would have already been put down – freaking clown needs a muzzle – hope you get to feeling better….
Sadly, it appears the dogs might bite for a reason.
A source told Judicial Watch that Biden abuses the animals, and “disclosed Biden punched and kicked his dogs.”
In February, Judicial Watch released data that showed Commander had “at least 23 biting incidents. After one incident, East Wing public tours were stopped for approximately 20 minutes due to the blood on the floor. These records include a spreadsheet of 22 incident reports between October 2022 and June 2023, 10 of which required medical treatment.”
The dogs also might sense that Biden is mentally addled and physically impaired and believe that other adults are threatening him.
Post Reports
No wonder Biden had to surrender the dog to relatives in February, as the New York Post reported at the time.
The Post first revealed the ferocious dog’s repeated attacks in July last year. At the time, the dog had bitten seven people.
“In the most serious incident, the White House physician’s office referred a Secret Service uniformed officer to a local hospital for treatment after Commander clamped down on their arm and thigh on Nov. 3, 2022,” the Post revealed:
Commander broke the skin of a different Secret Service member’s hand and arm weeks later after the president unleashed him outside the White House following a family movie night, records indicate — and the following month, Commander bit the back of a security technician at Biden’s Wilmington, Del., home.
Again, the Bidens were forced to give up Major, another aggressive biter, in December 2021. That dog’s troubles revealed Biden to be paranoid about his Secret Service agents, the Post reported, citing The Fight of His Life, a book about Biden.
“President Biden doesn’t speak about sensitive matters in front of the Secret Service and told a friend that he thought an agent lied about being bitten on the leg last year by then-first dog Major … despite internal emails indicating the German shepherd bit agents eight days in a row,” as the Post recounted:
“Look, the Secret Service are never up here. It didn’t happen,” Biden reportedly said while pointing out the location of the alleged attack on the second floor of the White House.
Biden thought “somebody was lying … about the way the incident had gone down,” author Chris Whipple writes in “The Fight of His Life.”
The indecent report revealed the truth. Unprovoked, the dog charged the agent and chomped down on the agent’s right leg. Major bit agents every day from March 1 to March 9, 2021.
But Biden, Whipple revealed, thought his Secret Service agents were lying because they were loyal to President Trump. The agency “is full of white ex-cops from the South who tend to be deeply conservative,” Whipple wrote, so Biden didn’t trust them. “Wary of his own Secret Service agents, the president no longer spoke freely in their presence.”
Suspicions and delusions — paranoia — are symptoms of dementia.
“Delusions (firmly held beliefs in things that are not real) may occur in middle- to late-stage Alzheimer’s,” the Alzheimer’s Association says. “A person with Alzheimer’s may believe a family member is stealing his or her possessions or that he or she is being followed by the police.”
Or, he might believe his Secret Service agents are loyal to a previous president, and think they lie about dog bites.
