Special Counsel Robert Hur served as the lead counsel in the investigation of President Joe Biden’s possession and handling of top secret classified documents.
Hur's excuse to absolve Biden of responsibility does not follow his legal duty.
Hu was appointed in 2017 by Donald Trump as the US Attorney in Maryland, its chief federal law enforcement officer in the state. When President Trump left office, Hur also left his position.
On Thursday, Hur published a 345-page report that alleges that President Biden had "wilfully retained and disclosed classified materials", but should not face charges for doing so.
The investigation conducted by Hur was sweeping. His team of Investigators conducted 173 interviews with 147 witnesses, including the president for two days. Hur referred to Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
So, why did President Biden become so unhinged and upset and forced to hold a press conference late Thursday where he clearly displayed his temper and indignation to the reporters and bring up his son Beau Biden, obviously, looking for sympathy.
Hur’s report argued it would be difficult to "convince a jury that they should convict him - by then a former president well into his 80s of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
In the report, Hur noted that the president did not remember when he was vice-president or even when his late son, Beau, died.
“How the hell dare he raise that…” said Biden during his press conference on Thursday according to the report.
Biden further denied that he “shared” any documents although Hur’s report concluded otherwise.
“I did not share. I did not share…” Biden angrily stated to the White House press corps.
Seemingly, those memory references offended President Biden although his memory loss was the reason Hur decided not to prosecute President Biden even though Special Counsel Hur concluded that Biden willfully removed and shared the top secret classified documents after housing them in his office, garage and basement den in not one home in Delaware, but in the Biden Penn Center office as well as in the mansion Biden rented or was given as a guest near Key Bridge in Virginia just outside of Washington, D.C. after Biden left office.
US Attorney General Merrick Garland said last year when the probe was initiated it was "in the public interest" to appoint a special counsel.
"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," Mr Garland stated at the time.
Hur graduated from Harvard College and Stanford Law School, and recently joined the Washington DC office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher as a partner. Hur also clerked for the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist, a conservative jurist who was appointed to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan.
Prior to his appointment by President Trump, Our served as the top aide to then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at the Department of Justice.
His career spans more than a decade as a federal prosecutor working cases involving national security, public corruption and other issues.
He served as an aide to Christopher Wray before Mr Wray's 2017 appointment as the Director of the FBI.
Thomas Dupree, a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General who worked alongside Hur at Gibson, Dunn & Cratcher, described him as "a very talented lawyer, a man of excellent judgment and a man of the highest integrity.”
"I think it was an excellent choice by the Attorney General to put someone of Rob's calibre in this role," he said at the time of Hur’s appointment to oversee the Biden classified document case.
As special counsel, Hur made his objectives known at the onset.
"I intend to follow the facts swiftly and thoroughly, without fear or favor, and will honor the trust placed in me to perform this service," Hur stated when he was appointed.
Nevertheless, Biden, at his press conference Thursday, played the deflection card and blamed his staff.
