U.S. Justice Department Appoints A Special Counsel To Probe President Biden's Handling Of Classified Documents

 

Daily Mail: Attorney General picks Special Counsel to probe Biden's handling of classified documents - as White House insists they were 'misplaced': Garland reveals garage batch was found on December 20 - and DOJ was notified of another discovery TODAY 

* Garland announced a special counsel to investigate 

* Robert K. Hur is a former federal prosecutor who was appointed by Trump 

* Move came after lawyers discovered more classified files in Biden's home  

* Republicans had demanded a special counsel look into matter  

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday appointed a special counsel to investigate the classified documents discovered in the D.C. think tank and Wilmington home of Joe Biden.  

Robert K. Hur, a former federal prosecutor appointed to that position by Donald Trump, was selected to fill the role. 

The White House said they will cooperate with Kur and are 'confident' the investigation will show the files were 'inadvertently misplaced.' 

'This appointment underscores for the public the department's commitment to both independence and accountability in particularly sensitive matters, and to making decisions indisputably guided only by the facts and the law,' Garland said.

WNU Editor: As this blog predicted last night, if more documents are found expect pressure to appoint a special prosecutor/special counsel .... More Classified Biden Documents Have Been Found At A New Location (January 11, 2023). Guess what. More documents being found were disclosed today .... President Biden had classified documents in the garage of his Delaware home (CNBC).  

Update: President Biden's response that documents were discovered next to the Corvette in his garage is hilarious (see below): 

 

Update #2: I could be wrong. But why all the disclosures now? Is someone (or someones) sending a message to President Biden to not announce that he will be seeking re-election in 2024?

DOOCY: "Classified materials next to your Corvette? What were you thinking?"

BIDEN: "My Corvette's in a locked garage, okay? So, it's not like they're sitting out on the street."


That is classic. That the MSM is not piling on leads me to believe that other than to force Biden not to run again that the special counsel is for show. The special counsel could
be weaponised at any time but mainly it is meant for intimidation and show.

More deserving, corrupt sleaze bag.

/nice ‘67 Corvette though.

And the "special obfuscator' will do exactly nothing.

any suspicions of the motives of the mainstream press is wise. They are being guided by whatever powers pull the strings to "get" Joe. But it is all still a sham. my evidence is the fact that the moment, back in November when the DOJ and FBI became aware of these documents in a college office in a college crawling with chicoms, they did not immediately begin an investigation to determine how the documents got there, who had access to them and interview those persons. but crickets. nobody did anything until someone leaked this story to CBS and NBC. I have read reports that suggests the special prosecutor has loyalties to the powers that be and not to you and me. same ole shyit, just a different week. Ron

Coincidence that all the files were "discovered" after the mid-terms?

Discovered day before mid-terms and public did not know until 2 months after.

Maybe they wanted to wait until new congress was sworn in and then give it another week.

The US is like Russia now except for the poisonings and people falling out the window.

POTUS has the right to declassify and possess classified docs. the vice president does not. Write that down.
