Attorney General Merrick Garland names Robert Hur special counsel to probe Biden classified docs

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Thursday he had appointed a special counsel to investigate how classified documents ended up at an office President Biden used at his namesake think tank in Washington, DC, and his home in Delaware.

Republicans called on Garland to name a special counsel to examine whether the Obama-era documents were mishandled by Biden following revelations this week that a box containing classified documents were discovered in a locked closet in an office the president used at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement on Nov. 2, just days before the midterm elections.

Then on Thursday, Biden, 80, confirmed reports that emerged Wednesday that more classified records were found in his Delaware home where he stores his prized Corvette.

“I also said we’re cooperating fully and completely with the Justice Department’s review. As part of that process, my lawyers reviewed other places where documents might — from my time as vice president — were stored and they finished the review last night. They discovered a small number of documents with classified markings in storage areas and file cabinets in my home and my personal library,” Biden told reporters on Thursday.

Garland had previously tapped the US Attorney in Chicago, John Lausch, to review the classified documents found at the Penn Biden Center.

In November, Garland named veteran prosecutor Jack Smith as special counsel to determine whether former President Donald Trump should face charges after classified documents recovered at his Florida resort in August.

This paves the way for Trump’s indictment.

Biden will be found negligent but not guilty...Trump will be found guilty.

Garland can hide behind the results delivered by the two Special Counsels...both of whom are bought and paid for.

The swamp never stops, Garland appoint Rosenstein protege as special counsel, i hate saying told you so. Instead of responding to our russia gate subpoenas, hot rod and his minion Hur were busy issuing subpoenas against me in 2017 to spy on me n @Devin Nunes. And in meetings in rosensteins office where we demanded docs, he actually asked us to help him get Hur confirmed, with the inherent stmt, no help, no docs. Ultimate #GovernmentGangsters More...

They will say although classified docs were found that he had no intent to commit crime.

"Robert K. Hur is a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, and Co-Chair of the Firm's Crisis Management Practice Group."

The 'K' stands for Kyoung.

Why no raid trashing his property? Why are his lawyers allowed to conduct the search and not a hostile third party?

Inequality of justice.

Garland will end up declaring both Trump and Biden are ineligible to run in 2024 and gruesome Newsome will step right in.

More investigations run through the same players.

Sounding to me like the democrat overlords decided to get rid of Joe before he announced a ‘24 run. I’m sure they have a treasure trove of dirt on Biden, this one is convenient because they’ll try to disqualify Trump too.

“Buried forever… “

Five years from now the Just-us Department will still be saying about the trove of secret documents swiped by Biden: “We cannot comment because on the ongoing investigation.”
