AG Merrick Garland Announces End of Biden Classified Documents Investigation​

https://www.westernjournal.com/ag-m...end-biden-classified-documents-investigation/

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Wednesday released a letter addressed to the leaders of the congressional Committees on the Judiciary announcing the end of the special counsel’s investigation into President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified material.

The letter , which was addressed to Sens. Dick Durbin and Lindsey Graham as well as Reps. Jim Jordan and Jerry Nadler, made no mention of any criminal charges to be filed against Biden or anyone associated with him.

No charges for Biden after Special Counsel probe into improper handling of classified documents​

Published February 8, 2024 2:55pm EST

Special Counsel Robert Hur will not recommend criminal charges against President Biden for mishandling classified documents, according to his report after a months-long investigation into the president's alleged improper retention of classified records.

Hur has been investigating Biden’s improper retention of classified records since last year. Those records included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, among other records related to national security and foreign policy which Hur said implicated "sensitive intelligence sources and methods."

"We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter," the report states. "We would reach the same conclusion even if the Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president."

The special counsel also described Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

"We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," Hur wrote in the report. "Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone from whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then a former president well into his eighties—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness."

Can't wait for the Repubs & Trump's replies. Gonna get a lot of mileage outta this.
 
Maybe we can fix all the problems in the US if only we could vote harder.
 
Well, maybe we should give that a try 'cause from what I've seen, people sure as hell aren't going to think harder.
 
Since both Trump and Biden (along with several others) have screwed up with classified docs, in my opinion, the fair thing and the right thing would be to let Biden finish his term and then boot him outta politics, drop the docs case against Trump and boot him outta politics and do the same thing to Mike Pence.
 
So the pedophile gets off because he's too dementia-ridden to be responsible for crimes he committed nearly a decade ago.


Asked for a statement by the press, Pedo Joe replied, "trunalimunumaprzure", and wandered off in search of a little girl to sniff.
 
Demoralization is an important step in destroying a country/culture. The lack of rule of law (justice), the gender rebellion corruption of children, the border "crisis"...

Folks, we are watching the destruction of our country and our culture. Enjoy. They are laughing at us while they gaslight us.
 
^^^^^^^^^

Watched a good bit of it yesterday. IMO - Hur didn't look too good when being questioned by certain critters. At times he looked disingenuous and at other times he looked like an outright liar. Then again.......this is my take.

As for his resignation being a rumor.....it's not. He resigned a day before he testified.

I have no proof, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he wasn't promised a judgeship or some other cool breeze position for his performance.
 
Former Special Counsel Robert Hur faced bipartisan flak on Tuesday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing about his conclusions regarding President Joe Biden's retention of classified material after he served as Barack Obama's vice president. Republicans wanted to know how Hur could conclude that criminal charges against Biden were not warranted when Special Counsel Jack Smith is prosecuting former President Donald Trump for broadly similar conduct. Democrats complained about Hur's description of Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" and "diminished faculties in advancing age," which they portrayed as legally irrelevant and possibly motivated by the hope of a judicial appointment in a second Trump administration.

A 258-page interview transcript that was released ahead of the hearing sheds some light on the latter issue. The transcript, which is based on hours of recorded interviews with Biden that Hur and his staff conducted on October 8 and October 9, largely supports Hur's description of Biden in his February 5 report, which was legally mitigating but politically damaging in the context of the 2024 presidential race, given the concerns that voters have expressed about the 81-year-old president's cognitive health.

Rep Byron Donalds: This Is Fascism Brought To Us By Joe Biden And The Democrats

@ByronDonalds: "Let's be clear: This is not about Joe Biden's activities during his presidency. It is the fact that he did take classified information from a secure facility when he was Vice President and when he was a United States Senator. Both are violations of the Espionage Act.

Having a poor memory does not absolve you from violating the Espionage Act, and being old and elderly does not absolve you from violating the Espionage Act.

And so once again, you see the two-tier system of justice against Donald Trump simply because he is the Republican nominee, and he is actually the person that would blunt the radical Democrat agenda.

So what do the Democrats do? Weaponize the Department of Justice. Go after their political rival. It is fascism here in the United States, brought to us by Joe Biden and the Democrats."





The two-tiered justice system is on full display for all Americans to see. I even know some democrats who are disgusted by this.
