Hur On The Hot Seat

Dateline: Flambeville, March 12, 2024

Former Special Counsel Robert Hur was grilled on Capitol Hill today by the purely partisan political hacks who occupy seats in the House.

The Dim-ocrats were driven, as usual, by making Trump look much worse than Biden. Their focus was not on whether both knowingly and unlawfully kept classified information on their private premises. It was mostly on the response of the two men after being caught.  Biden co-operated with the DOJ. Trump did not.

One of their dimmest lights, Adam Schiff, insisted that Hur’s characterization of Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” was gratuitous and politically motivated. Of course, Schiff would see things that way because he is all politics all the time.

The Trumplicans, on the other hand, hammered home Hur’s conclusion that Biden was a thief who was saved from prosecution by his mental incapacity.

They missed the problem with the Hur report. Biden’s mental decline, even if sympathetic, is not germane to his prosecution. It is a consideration in sentencing should he be convicted.

Biden’s theft of classified documents began many years ago when he was a Senator and continued through his Vice Presidency.  Hur’s investigation uncovered evidence that it was motivated by greed – the inclusion of classified information promised to juice up a Biden book deal.

Critically, there is no claim that Biden was mentally deficient when the thefts occurred. His decline is more recent and has nothing to do with his guilt.

Hur’s supposition that a jury would be derailed from its sworn duty disparages our system. He implies that juries are easily distracted by the irrelevant. He is mistaken. It’s highly doubtful that jurors would be sidetracked by Biden’s current condition to the point of finding him not guilty of offenses that occurred years earlier.

But, a jury won’t get the chance. Biden was saved by a prosecutor who mistook himself for a misbehaving juror.
