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.

The investigation IS the coverup.

Hur was counsel and special assistant and later counsel to Christopher Wray back in the 2000s.

"That's how democrats think - they come up with the 'best possible reason' (a focus group would accept) for their crimes then present that as 'the truth'."

Actually they run it by a focus group of ferals and "Julias" to see if it moves them off their unswavering slavery to socialism. They don't look from movement from Independents minds full of mush, they look strictly to whether the ferals or single white women drop under levels that assure Democrat re-election.

If it does, rarely, then they simply call whatever agency is involved and float trial balloons "Biden To Sign Admission Of Culpability Without Charges, Meanwhile Trump Grand Jury Deadlocked On Charges Going Into Second Week" and repoll and repoll and repoll.

We have no idea who has visited the Biden homes in Delaware because the Secret Service claimed months ago that they have no records of visitors.

If cooking with gas was a problem it would have shown up in restaurant workers and chefs. It hasn’t. The ‘gas’ issue is fantasy.

This way, the swamp can take out Trump in 2024 AND Biden forever.

ALL of these documents were found and turned over by Biden’s lawyers.

If any of you are falling for this, you haven’t been paying attention for the past 6 years.

Exactly. One of the main justifications for the no knock early AM raid of Trump was supposedly that scummy lawyers don’t have the proper clearances or need to know to risk classified information being in their hands, for any length of time.

Now all of a sudden, that’s perfectly fine. Never even mentioned by those supposedly on our side. Either raid the Biden’s or this is all just for show.
