Yesterday POTUS Joe Biden received a get-out-of-jail-free-card from Independent Counsel Robert Hur though he found:
Joe Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”
And, Joe is pissed. Let me ‘splain it to you.
Who the Hell is Robert Hur, Big Red Car?
1. Robert Hur (South Korean descent) was educated at Harvard College and Stanford Law School. He’s one of them “elites.” Smart as a whip.
2. He clerked for US Supreme Court Justice Justice Rehnquist. This is very prestigious.
3. Bobbie Hur was an assistant to Chris Wray (FBI Director) when Wray was at the Department of Justice immediately before he took the gig at FBI. He knows all the players and is wired into the legal DOJ/FBI establishment. Guy is not a renegade or a loose cannon.
4. Hur was a top-aide to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Rod is the guy who appointed Robert Mueller (former head of the FBI) to investigate President Donald J Trump when Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself (one of the dumbest things in the history of the US).
5. Hur was the US Attorney for Maryland, appointed by Trump.
6. Hur was appointed Special Counsel (actually Independent Counsel) by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate the Joe Biden classified docs case.
The report, Big Red Car?
The way an Independent Counsel’s report works, he does several things:
1. The IC shows a draft of the report to the subject’s attorneys for their comment. In this instance, Biden’s lawyers saw the report before it was finalized.
One is forced to believe they failed to object to some fairly damning content, but Old Joe did not get indicted, so no harm, no foul?
2. When the IC finalizes his report, he delivers it to the Attorney General and notifies Congress he has finished his report and delivered it.
3. The AG makes the decision whether:
a. to hold the report and never release it,
b. to show it only to Congress, or,
c. to make it public. <<< DING, DING, DING!
Attorney General Merrick Garland made the decision to publicly release the report. This did not make Joe Biden happy.
Fair play to ask AG Merrick — WTF, dude? Really? Not wingman behavior.
What about the contents, Big Red Car?
Paraphrasing, Bobbie said that Joe Biden “willfully” possessed classified documents, but that he recommended not to prosecute Old Joe under the novel legal doctrine that he was “an elderly man with a bad memory” and would be found sympathetic by a jury.
This phrase: “an elderly man with a bad memory” infuriated Joe Biden so much he came out of the basement and held an evening press conference to plead that he had a great memory and was the best qualified man in America to be President.
Unfortunately, whilst Joe was professing how great his memory was he misidentified the President of Egypt as being the President of Mexico and confused Gaza with the US – Cartel border.
Stuff happens, Joe. Eat more fiber, pal.
Bottom line it, Big Red Car
OK, Joe Biden is “an elderly man with a bad memory.” No fresh sod being turned there, amigos, we all knew.
The Independent Counsel detected that Joe Biden was “an elderly man with a bad memory” and said so in his report. Hell, he justified not indicting the old boy on those grounds.
Joe Biden, his ego writing a check his brain could not cash, protested that he was not “an elderly man with a bad memory” and then gave the world proof that he was, indeed, “an elderly man with a bad memory.”
Joe Biden loved the idea he was not to be indicted — like Trump for the same offense — but is pissed he was called out for exactly who he is — “an elderly man with a bad memory.”
Joe thinks he should have another term even though he is “an elderly man with a bad memory” cause his being 86 at the end of his second term should not be a problem. Eh?
But, hey, what the Hell do I really know anyway? I’m just an elderly Big Red Car with a damn good memory.
