Special counsel won't charge Biden for his handling of classified docs, despite evidence he 'willfully retained' materials
Abc ^

Posted on 02/08/2024 12:00:12 PM PST by janetjanet998

Special counsel Robert Hur said he will not recommend charges against President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents while out of office, despite finding evidence that Biden "willfully retained" materials. "We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter," said Hur's report summarizing his yearlong probe. "We would conclude the same even if there was no policy against charging a sitting president. Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified information after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen."

Here’s an important detail, even the Special Counsel sees Biden’s memory is fading fast.

Well, since jeopardy didn’t attach, and it is already confirmed he broke the law, can’t Trumps AG reverse this and charge him? I mean its lawfair right? Let see if we can bankrupt that corrupt POS.

.......all of these documents were found by quid pro joe’s personal
lawyers after they filtered through his documents stashes......


And I remember guilty as hell Biden saying at the time......calm cool and collected he was......
that his lawyers did the “right thing”......turning them in when they “found” them.

At this point, it’s a coin toss. It can go either way. I hope it doesn’t go the Freisler way.

I'm guessing Biden not only 'willfully retained' classified materials, but that he also used them to shake down goons in corrupt foreign countries - and/or 'loaned' the material to his family to do the same. He's scum of the earth and traitors in DC know it... they don't want to step on the toes of others in DC playing the same shakedown games.

From Hur’s report:

“Biden’s practices “present serious risks to national security”

Then there should be no grounds for prosecuting a Republican ex-President using the exact same arguments.

“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Eiden 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. Based on our direct interactions with and
observations of him, he is someone for 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. “

Brutal.

Re: 55 - I understand prosecutorial discretion and all, but this really seems to be something akin to “the juice isn’t worth the squeeze”.

He didn’t retain those documents last week. He retained them at the very latest in January 2017. That’s SEVEN years ago.

Holy moly

I saw this on earlier X and though someone was joking

It’s real

the report describing Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” is being seen as maybe the best outcome

Sounds like Biden has evidence on others who have been in the line of umm operations he has been in for years ?.

Bookie took the bet odds to good to pass up.

If his ratings were high do you think we’d know all this? Is this a way to get Biden out, not be charged with anything, and Michelle or Newsom enter the scene?
