"Hur spent a year trying to find facts that would allow him to charge Joe Biden, charge a President, doing backflips with the evidence along the way, and then writing up a report that provides far more evidence about 40 year old documents covered by Speech and Debate than we’ll ever learn about the stolen documents at Mar-a-Lago."

"This was never an ethical prosecutorial pursuit. It was always about writing a novel for a rabid audience.

Or, as you might consider it, just an exercise in box-ticking for partisan ends."

In other words, there is no there there, when it comes to Biden's malfeasance with these documents. Hur had no choice except to make things up — a long, diversionary narrative designed to be the kind of poison pill the corporate media lust for, when it comes to Biden.

I wish that every so-called journalist would read Marcy Wheeler's take on every legal issue prior to them spouting out their takes on the issue.
