The Hur Hearing

Who is Robert Hur, you ask? According to Wikipedia: Robert Kyoung Hur (born 1973) is an American lawyer appointed by then-U.S. President Donald Trump to serve as the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland from 2018 to 2021. He previously served as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General with the U.S. Department of Justice. 
Hur investigated President Biden’s possession of classified documents after Biden left the vice presidency.  This investigation, started by Representative James Comer, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee to  look into unauthorized removal, retention, and disclosure of classified documents discovered at the President's home and other sites.  

Hur did not recommend charges against the president, but claimed, among other things, that Biden suffered from severe memory problems while being questioned, and while he did not find sufficient evidence that the president intentionally retained classified information, he suggested that if he tried to make the case, Biden would be able to convince a jury that he is an "elderly man with a poor memory" incapable of doing such a thing.

Comer and Gym Jordan also tried to investigate the President's son Hunter in February of this year, which blew up in their faces.  (see https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/21/politics/fbi-informant-biden-impeachment-what-matters/index.html)  But I digress.



Before today's hearing, Mr. Hur resigned from the Justice Department. According to journalist Andrew Feinberg. "Instead of appearing as a DOJ employee who is bound by the ethical guidelines which govern the behaviour of federal prosecutors, he will appear as a private citizen with no constraints on his testimony."

Today's hearing wasn't an easy one for Mr. Hur, as evidenced by the following links: 1 ) MSNBC anchor Lawrence O'Donnell's masterful coverage of the epic takedown of Robert Hur, Trump stooge and Special Counsel investigating Biden's handling of classified documents.


2 )  Representative Eric Swalwell had some questions for Hur, too.




3 )  And finally, here is Congressman Adam Schiff grilling Mr. Hur.
