Biden special counsel Robert Hur’s resignation from DOJ makes his testimony “even more problematic”
Yahoo ^

Special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated and declined to charge former President Joe Biden over classified materials found in his home and office, resigned from the Justice Department and will appear as a private citizen in his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee, according to The Independent’s Andrew Feinberg.

Former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann explained that the Justice Department “cannot give instructions” to a former employee about what he “can and cannot testify to.”

“That makes it even more problematic from our perspective ... if he was still a federal employee, DOJ would have to approve his testimony and they’d be involved in his appearance tomorrow,” a Democratic Judiciary Committee source told The Independent.

Interesting twist.

Sad that one has to resign from a "Department of Justice" to provide open and (hopefully) honest testimony.

I'm sure he's gotten a few hints. ;-)

“DOJ would have to approve his testimony”

What about the “whole truth and nothing but the truth” mantra?

I have problems with the government making everything “classified”

everyone talks about Trans-Parentcy but that is celebrated everywhere except where it is needed.

It's sad Garland and his department is corrupted from top to bottom.

Problematic for DOJ. They cannot control his testimony anymore.

I was being sarcastic- i knew its a big problem for Garland but the headline from Yahoo wants to give people the impression it’ll be an issue for Trump

Got it. Does anyone read Yahoo headlines and not notice they drip with leftist bias?

Makes it problematic for Biden. Not for the truth.

On the one hand, it feels like their game is falling apart. The lies are being recognized as lies. The double standards are more obvious to more people. In GA, in NY, in DC, the gross bias against Trump and Trump supporters is right out front.

But on the other hand, it’s still not clear that it matters.

“a Democratic Judiciary Committee source told The Independent...”

I know a guy that knows a guy......well, that’s certainly a reliable source. 👌
