Schumer backs special counsel in Biden documents case: ‘Let it play out’
The Hill ^ | 01/13/2023 | JULIA SHAPERO

Posted on 01/13/2023 7:08:58 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Friday expressed his support of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of a special counsel to investigate President Biden’s potential mishandling of classified documents from his time as vice president.

“We now have special prosecutors on for both of these situations, very serious people,” Schumer said in an appearance on CNN, discussing both the Biden documents case and that of former President Trump.

“We should let it play out,” he added. “We don’t have to push them in any direction or try to influence them. That’s all I’m going to say. Let the special prosecutors do their job.”

Garland appointed Robert Hur as special counsel on Thursday after a second batch of classified documents from the Obama administration was discovered at Biden’s Wilmington, Del., residence.

Schumer, being convinced that the partisan hack will,find not even a “smidgen of wrongdoing”, backs the special council 100%, and is said to be elated that nothing will come of it

There, fixed the headline.

He knows they have the right special counsel for their side.

I still think this is a deep state hit job. I am not saying Biden didn’t do anything wrong. I am just fascinated that pretty much everyone is piling on Biden when he has been under what seems like a hands off protection order for so long. I think he has become a liability to the cause and is being removed. The timing seems about right for my February prediction. Less that 2 months away.

Translation: “play (wink, wink)” = it’s a game.

Alternate translation: “FBI (where truth goes to die) has the documents”

Alternate translation: “plays out” = we know how this ends.

BOTH special counsels have TDS backgrounds.

That’s what the conservative media should be blaring 24/7.

The fixer knows the Biden scandal isn’t going anywhere. Obama would have his ass if he didn’t keep Jo Jo’s chestnuts out of the fire.

They’re turning on Biden to get him not to run in 2024, he is senile, declining has obvious dementia which is only going to get worse. - Democrats want the likes of Newsom or Buttigieg.

They know they can’t get Biden through another debate in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.

Your point that this is “dump the Cadaver” part I is correct. They may think they can pry him loose now, or, failing that, at least stop his ridiculous determination to run again.

Overall, I think, the deepstate thinks they have a “threefer” here:
1. Stop the Cadaver from running again,
2. justify continuing to harass DJT, you know, it’s only fair,
3. varnish the tarnish the DOJ has so richly deserved by appearing to do sauce-for-the-goose/gander.

The fix is entirely in. The Hillary redux is in play. A must watch and listen to Patel explain the latest move by POS Garland to protect the Veggie by appointing a special consul headed by the anti-trump Russian hoax enabler swamp creature Hur. Why do I have the feeling that this guy is a China spy? He probably came with his china spy parents into America as a child and he continues the tradition.

The fix is in. They’re going to sacrifice play Biden to take down Trump at the same time.

See?! Both guys are bad! Vote Kamala!

SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY SCHUMER!! The intelligence agencies have six ways from Sunday to get ya, according to Schumer. Don’t forget Schumer’s family is Soviet born Ukrainian! It may be time to dispense with Biden to frame him up for resignation.

So, FJB’s handling of classified documents isn’t an “existential threat to democracy?”

Once again they are going to investigate and then completely exonerate so that they can say we looked into it but there was no wrongdoing, just as they did with the unconvicted felonious Hillary Clinton.
