DEPT OF PROTECT THE DEMS' RULING CLASS MERRICK GARLAND WILL NOT PROSECUTE BIDEN - WILL WITCH HUNT TRUMP TO DEATH - Special Counsel Finds Joe Biden ‘Willfully Retained’ Classified Docs — but Is Too Mentally Feeble to Prosecute

DOJ MERRICK GARLAND HAS DEDICATED HIMSELF TO PROTECTING THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY. THE GAMER LAWYER HAS DONE IT AGAIN!



Too incompetent to be prosecuted but not too incompetent to rule?

Per Special counsel Robert Hur’s—a Republican, you’ll be reminded incessantly if you follow this story—findings in the Joe Biden classified documents case, Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified material after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”  I’m not a lawyer but I’m pretty sure this constitutes a felony, at least when a Republican or anyone not named Obama, Biden, or Clinton does it.  But Mr. Hur won’t bring charges because “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

This brings to mind the story of Vincent “The Chin” Gigante, a mafioso who feigned insanity to avoid prosecution.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Mr. Biden, at this point, has the capacity to feign anything, least of all competence.  But he wasn’t a pathetic, senile caricature of his current self when these crimes were committed.  Hur’s decision to not charge reminds of James Comey’s speech exonerating Hillary Clinton of her national security breaches.  The difference here is Hur has the authority to charge or not, where Comey did not.  Many saw this as Comey taking his boss, then Attorey General Loretta Lynch, off the hook for making an obviously, politically charged call.

Democrat partisans are, naturally, calling the prosecutor’s report a hatchet job on the president.  If they were being honest they would thank him for putting what many would consider the final nail in Biden’s reelection fantasy.  It’s been widely speculated for some time that after acquiring the needed delegate count in the Democrat primaries that Biden would bow out of the race at the convention and throw his delegates to Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsome, or… God help us, Hillary.

I said four years ago that come November there was no way Biden would be atop the Democrat ticket.  Obviously, I was wrong.  But I feel much more confident in making the same assertion this time around. The $64,000 question is: who will replace him?  That he was “elected” four years ago is testament to how corrupt our political system has become; it’s not as though he was competent then either.  That senile Joe is some kind of puppet front for a covert third Obama administration is hardly speculative.  He has become, for Democrats, the most useful of idiots, but his utility is fading fast.



Raskin: Special Counsel Biden’s A.G. Picked Is an ‘Age-Discriminatory’ Politically-Motivated Republican

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) argued that Robert Hur, the Special Counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to oversee the classified documents probe of President Joe Biden is a Republican who “intended” to raise concerns about Biden’s age with the “kind of age-discriminatory and age-insulting remarks” about President Biden in the report.

Raskin said, “[T]his Republican special counsel said that Joe Biden had been completely forthcoming and cooperative and they’re not bringing any criminal charges against him. He did take some gratuitous slaps at Joe Biden because of his age, and a lot of these kind of age-discriminatory and age-insulting remarks are getting rather tiresome. All we really need from a special prosecutor like Hur is a decision whether there [are] any legal grounds to move forward, he said there [are] not. And he didn’t need to take all those cheap shots, and, obviously, you could take the same kinds of cheap shots at Donald Trump, who recently confused a woman that he sexually attacked and then lied about with one of his wives and also mixed up Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Nikki Haley.”

Host Wolf Blitzer asked, “In the Special Counsel’s report, it says that President Biden couldn’t remember when he was vice president or even when his son Beau died. It is important to note that many Americans are seriously concerned about his age. Does this raise alarms about whether President Biden is fit to serve another term in office?”

Raskin responded, “Well, undoubtedly, that’s what Robert Hur, who comes from my state, he’s a Maryland Republican, undoubtedly, that’s what he intended to do with those ridiculous cheap shots. I just spent an hour with President Biden and the entire Democratic caucus, where he regaled and entertained everyone for an hour and went through all of the extraordinary accomplishments of his administration, including the Inflation Reduction Act. We’ve got the best economy in the world right now, the creation of millions and millions of jobs, just an extraordinary record to run on. So, they’re going to come up with some cheap shots like that. To me, Wolf, it reminds me of the kind of gender-based cheap shots they took at Hillary Clinton when she ran for president, and now there are all these age-based cheap shots that they’re taking on [Joe Biden]. And it does show you how desperate they are, because you could turn them around and use all the same ones against Donald Trump, who is fumbling his way through every day trying to figure out who he’s attacking this day or that and which case based on his criminal conduct he’s attending.”

Special Counsel Robert Hur will not charge President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents but included stunning revelations in his report of the deterioration of Biden’s mental state that are perhaps more politically damning.

The report says the investigation “uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen” but does not establish guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Yet Hur’s assessment of Biden’s “significantly limited” memory also played a part in his decision not to prosecute.

“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,” the report states. “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.”

Hur’s report is riddled with examples and assessments that Biden’s mental faculties and memory have deteriorated, saying, “Mr. Biden’s memory also appeared to have significant limitations.”

Shockingly, the report says, “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.”

Biden has often spoken about his son Beau’s death from brain cancer, on numerous occasions attributing his death to dying in Iraq.

Perhaps most damning is Biden’s inability to remember his time as vice president:

In his interview with our office… He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (“if it was 2013, when did I stop being Vice President?”), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (“in 2009, am I still Vice President?”).

Despite Hur’s assessment of a prosecution’s chances in court — which mirror the justifications not to charge Hillary Clinton in 2016 — the evidence presented in the report leaves no doubt of Biden’s at-best sloppy handling of classified documents.

“Among the places Mr. Biden’s lawyers found classified documents in the garage was a damaged, opened box containing numerous hanging folders, file folders, and binders. The box…was in a mangled state,” the report reads.

The report also revealed evidence that Biden disclosed classified information to the ghostwriter of his book.

The report’s release comes amid renewed questions about Biden’s mental health. In 2024, Biden has described recent conversations with foreign leaders who died many years ago.

Biden classified docs probe ends with charges unlikely, attorney general says

Biden classified docs probe ends with charges unlikely, attorney general says
UPI

Feb. 7 (UPI) — The special counsel investigation of classified documents found at President Joe Biden’s residences has concluded with no charges likely, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Wednesday.

Special counsel Robert Hur ended his investigation and submitted his report to the Justice Department on Monday, Garland reported to House and Senate leaders.

A White House privilege review hasn’t concluded, but Garland said the Justice Department will make “as much of the special counsel’s report public as possible.”

He said the Department of Justice will provide members of Congress with the report, appendices and Hur’s letter after the White House review is done.

The investigation largely involves Biden’s retention of classified documents while he was vice president and after leaving office in January 2017.

Biden allegedly retained the documents in error instead of returning them to the National Archives and Records Administration, CBS News reported.

The classified documents were placed in two storage units and eventually wound up in a private office used by Biden. Some documents also were found in boxes inside Biden’s garage at his home in Wilmington, Del.

A search of Biden’s Rehoboth Beach house in Delaware and at the University of Delaware did not locate more documents.

An additional 10 classified documents were found at the Penn-Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C., which prompted Garland to appoint Hur to investigate Biden’s handling of classified documents in January 2023, ABC News reported.

The classified documents date to Biden’s time as vice president under President Barack Obama, and several were marked as “top secret.”

The investigation by Hur included interviewing about 100 former and current White House and governmental employees. Hur also interviewed Hunter Biden and spent two days interviewing the president.

Biden has told reporters he was surprised to learn of the classified documents in his possession and denied breaking any federal laws.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has been indicted on 40 counts of illegally possessing classified documents. Trump pleaded innocent to the charges against him and accused Justice Department officials of targeting Republicans.

Officials with the National Archives reported that Biden and his legal representatives cooperated with its search for missing classified documents but said Trump and his representatives intentionally withheld classified documents from investigators and the FBI.

Joe Biden Pressured Merrick Garland to Prosecute Donald Trump, Resurfaced NYT Report Says

President Joe Biden pressured Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2022 to prosecute former President Donald Trump, a resurfaced New York Times report says.

The report, which reemerged Thursday on X, appears to be attracting attention because of the recent legal attacks against Trump:

  • Colorado – Prohibiting Trump from Colorado’s 2024 primary ballot
  • New York – “Stormy Daniels” (state)
  • Miami – “Documents” (federal)
  • Washington, D.C. – “January 6” (federal)
  • Fulton County, Georgia (state)

Times reporters Katie Benner, Katie Rogers, and Michael S. Schmidt published an article on April 2, 2022, about Biden’s frustration with Garland about the lack of prosecution against Trump, according to two people familiar with Biden’s comments.

“The attorney general’s deliberative approach has come to frustrate Democratic allies of the White House and, at times, President Biden himself,” the Times reported. “As recently as late last year, Mr. Biden confided to his inner circle that he believed former President Donald J. Trump was a threat to democracy and should be prosecuted, according to two people familiar with his comments.”

“And while the president has never communicated his frustrations directly to Mr. Garland, he has said privately that he wanted Mr. Garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action over the events of Jan. 6,” the report added.

Since the report was originally published, state and federal officials have indicted Trump four times. He faces 91 counts and 717.5 years in jail, Breitbart News reported.

Trump also faces challenges to remaining on state ballots in some blue states. On Tuesday the Colorado Supreme Court ruled in a four-to-three opinion that the United States Constitution’s “Insurrection Clause” blocks Trump from appearing on the state’s presidential ballot, preventing voters from deciding who should become the next president.

“Is Trump an insurrectionist, sir?” a reporter asked Biden Wednesday.

Biden mumbled, “I think … it’s self-evident.” He continued, “Whether the Fourteenth Amendment applies, we’ll let the Court make that decision.”

“But he certainly supported an insurrection,” Biden claimed without evidence. “No question about it. None. Zero.”

Report: Merrick Garland Waited Weeks to Approve Warrant for Mar-a-Lago Search

Attorney General Merrick Garland reportedly waited weeks to approve the search warrant of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago private residence.

While the establishment media suggested “classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items the FBI” sought in the raid of Mar-a-Lago, it took weeks for Garland to make up his mind on whether to approve the warrant, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.

“The decision had been the subject of weeks of meetings between senior Justice Department and FBI officials, the people said,” the Journal reported. “The warrant allowed agents last Monday to seize classified information and other presidential material from Mar-a-Lago.”

After the raid and significant public pressure, the Justice Department filed a motion in court to release the FBI’s property receipt of the 28 inventory items federal agents seized. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart agreed to make the search warrant public the next day.

On Monday, Donald Trump said the FBI “stole” his “passports” in last week’s raid. The passports were not independently itemized on the FBI’s property receipt of the 28 inventory items federal agents seized.

The warrant, signed by Reinhart and approved by Garland, did not state that they could take Trump’s passport. Typically, the government needs a separate court order to seize someone’s passport, even temporarily.

CBS News’s Norah O’Donnell contradicted Trump’s statement and claimed that “[a]ccording to a DOJ official, the FBI is NOT in possession of former President Trump’s passports.”

After the report, Trump’s team released an email from Jay Bratt, the top counterintelligence official in the Justice Department’s national security division, which confirmed Trump’s passports were seized in the raid of Mar-a-Lago the previous Monday. The email also said the passports would be returned to the Trump “at 2 PM today.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, “The department Monday asked a judge not to make public the affidavit on which the search warrant was based, as some news-media outlets had sought, writing in a court filing that the document contains ‘critically important investigative facts’ about witnesses and tactics.”

Prosecutors explained they do not want the affidavit made public because it would “likely chill future cooperation by witnesses whose assistance may be sought as this investigation progresses,” they wrote.
