After lawyers representing Joe Biden released information saying additional classified documents were discovered at multiple locations associated with Joe Biden, the investigation that was being handled by USAO John Lausch has been turned over to a new special counsel, Robert K Hur.
Attorney General Merrick Garland made the announcement earlier today [DOJ Press Release Here]:
(DOJ Press Release) – Attorney General Merrick B. Garland announced today the appointment of a former career Justice Department prosecutor and former U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland Robert K. Hur to serve as special counsel to conduct the investigation of matters that were the subject of the initial investigation by U.S. Attorney John R. Lausch Jr. related to the possible unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or other records discovered at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and the Wilmington, Delaware, private residence of President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
“Based on Mr. Lausch’s initial investigation, I concluded that, under the Special Counsel regulations, it was in the public interest to appoint a Special Counsel. In the days since, while Mr. Lausch continued the investigation, the Department identified Mr. Hur for appointment as 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.
I am confident that Mr. Hur will carry out his responsibility in an even-handed and urgent manner, and in accordance with the highest traditions of this Department.” (Source Link)
Robert K Hur was in private practice with the Gibson Dunn law firm. Prior to private practice, Mr. Hur served as the 48th U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland.
Presidentially appointed by Donald Trump and unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate, Mr Hur served as U.S. Attorney from 2018 to 2021 as the chief federal law enforcement officer in Maryland. Before serving as U.S. Attorney, Mr. Hur served as the Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General with the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. from 2017 to 2018.
Essentially it looks like AG Merrick Garland is appointing a special counsel, because (a) he has to deflect political criticism given the issues and the growing scale; and (b) because a special counsel appointment will now throw the bag of “a current investigation” over any efforts from the Republican House of Representatives to investigate the office of the presidency.

Forget the U.S. Constitution. We now have “government by special counsel.”
This is a complete overthrow of constitutional powers of the House of Representatives.
Joe Biden has NO FEDERAL CRIMINAL LIABILITY. He cannot be prosecuted by the Department of Justice while President.
There is absolutely no need for a special counsel in this matter.
Biden can only be impeached and removed from office. Period.
This is a full-blown cover-up of Hunter Biden and others who have committed serious federal crimes. Yet, even those people can all be pardoned by Joe Biden.
There will be no prosecution of anyone. This is just a shield for all the criminals and there are an ARMY of such traitorous criminals involved.
There is no mention of “special counsel” in the U.S. Constitution yet special counsels are now unconstitutionally governing the USA! This is a unlawful obstruction of the powers of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Good points, thank you.
That’s what I said.
What you say is ONLY True for actions taken by a SERVING PRESIDENT within the PERIMETER (term used by the US Supreme Court) of the OFFICE of the PRESIDENT.
Biden IS liable to be prosecuted for actions take OUTSIDE the perimeter of the office. The actions take by VP Biden FALL OUTSIDE the perimeter of the presidency. READ the entire Supreme Court ruling on the Subject as well as the entire Article in the Constitution.
Not sure I’m on board with your interesting theory that Presidents can only be impeached and not prosecuted. What you are saying seems like a form of sovereign immunity on steroids. However in the current context it hardly matters. The aforementioned special counsel will not deliver the hoped for result. Didn’t we just learn that AGAIN with John “Bull” Durham and his hapless prosecutions of DNC flunkies.
Dem Hank Johnson thinks docs may have been planted to take Biden out….
Ole Hank….the one thing he’s good at is sticking his foot in his mouth…..and maybe make Auntie Maxine look smart.
That never gets old, thumbs up to you, pal.
And they claim we are the conspiracy theory nutjobs.
Old Hank “Ligma” Johnson is correct, Joey Shitferbrainz planted the docs so the smartest man he knows, Robert Hunter Biden, can sell them to the highest bidder more easily, the better for Shitferbrainz to keep his 10% flowing.
About that 10%, Hunter mentioned that Shitferbrainz always took 50% from him, so the implication is the 10% “Big Guy” is Mike’s husband Barry Obama.
Poor Guam….do they realize their island is on borrowed time and can capsize at any moment ?!?!?!
Nope, couldn’t happen!
The Big Guy just said that HE respects the proper handling of classified docs. That’s why he keeps them everywhere. Like the garage. Closets in far off places.
Did anyone check the bathroom? That’s ILLary’s favorite place to stash classified top secret docs.
And make sure you check the basement too. He spends an awful lot of time there.
Oh, and check that other place in D.C., the off site set that looks like whatever they want it to look like at any given moment.
Why wasn’t an “outside counsel” appointed. Like in the Trump/Fake Russia Hoax investigation?
Because the Deep State appointed an “outhouse counsel” that is full of 💩. The smelly pit is getting so full it is time to cover it up. 🤔
If anyone believes this nonsense, I have a bridge to sell them. The only job for these guys is to close out the investigation as quickly as possible releasing the fact that they found nothing classified to have been released anywhere. So, no crime was committed. It’s not the Democrat party (and FBI and DOJ are a part of that) role to admit their crimes and commit themselves into prisons. It’s the opposition’s job to do that. But RINO party does not have what it takes. We shall see. McCarthy is making a lot of hot air out of this. Politicians LOVE this indignation game.
Hunter gave HIS address to the Delaware DMV as the house where the documents were found.

Defund DOJ and especially those in charge. Defund both Special Zcounsrls. Biden’s is a whitewash with looking into his crime syndicate. Cut Merrick Garland’s salary to $1 per year and all others involved
Garland does not care about a salary. Attorney General Merrick Garland is worth an estimated $20 million, He is employed by the deep state mafia. That pay far exceeds any salary he gets from being the DOJ.
And thanks to the Rebel Alliance 20 we can now do just that.
DOJ Merck so corrupt liar also,
Do you think they could pick someone who looks a little less “Chinese”? 😉
I’m relieved I wasn’t the only one that thought this – It’s quite a complicated problem… elite Universities are flooded with Chinese nationals because they’re the only ones that can afford to pay the full tuition. They have a lock at getting admitted because their parents insist upon their learning math to an advanced level doing well in math competitions. Those kids develop all sorts of connections to infiltrate anywhere they like… What do our kids (mostly) do? sports.
I THINK its just POSSIBLE, that the analogy of a “Plate Spinner” applies to what we have been watching since 2016, reaching its inevitable conclusion.
As “Trump” won the nomination, and then the election, our collecivist, globalist enemy began putting up false narratives (plates) and spinning them.
And they put up one after another, but eventually, inevitable the plates start to FALL, crashing to the ground.
I say this MAY be what is occurring, not saying it IS; its frankly “too soon to tell”.
The False Narrative “tool” they have used, no longer works.
THEY are not WINNING!
If Biden, as V.P. was taking home and stashing Classified info, I would think Karmala probably is, too.
Probably rolling Joints out of it, or rolling classified docs in a tube, to snort some “blow”, and LAUGHING, I should say CACKLING about it.!
So it looks like Joe, or Jill, was going to insist on Joe being a nominee for the 2024 Presidential election. I suspect gentle persuasion hasn’t worked so the Democrat powerbrokers are starting to use whatever means to remove him from the race. He’s outlived his usefulness. The question is how many Biden scandals will they have to reveal before Jill decides enough is enough. They have started small with this one but I’m sure there are plenty of more serious issues waiting to be exposed. There is, of course, the sale of influence simmering away there. I think this will all disappear once Joe retires. The GOP may keep pursuing it, at the political risk of being seen to hound a frail and demented old man.
For those who claim the President cannot be prosecuted, that is ONLY True for actions taken by a SERVING PRESIDENT within the PERIMETER (term used by the US Supreme Court) of the OFFICE of the PRESIDENT.
Biden IS liable to be prosecuted for actions take OUTSIDE the perimeter of the office. The actions take by VP Biden FALL OUTSIDE the perimeter of the presidency. READ the entire Supreme Court ruling on the Subject as well as the entire Article in the Constitution.
At very best this will be treated as uncharted ground and will be heard by the courts.
Also, do discount the visit in the night to preclude an impeachment process.
“will be heard by the courts”. Be still my beating heart. /S
a special counsel appointment will now throw the bag of “a current investigation” over any efforts from the Republican House of Representatives to investigate the office of the presidency
That’s what I think is going on. That and the fact they’ve extended their “emergency powers” under the national security threat excuse again, makes me believe there is something they are trying to get ahead of (and they don’t care about the documents or Biden, so it’s something else).
This smells of being planned; of course old Joe doesn’t remember having them. Maybe they were planted so as to provide the narrative distraction they need for … something else. Like what?
I saw Ed Dowd on Steve Bannon this afternoon talking about all of the Died Suddenly insurance claims that will be making news soon.. maybe that? Maybe the public will wake up and realize their government has attempted to, and is killing them?
Robert Hur is just another govt gangster, closely connected to Wray and rosenstein, curious to see how he will spin this crime. I agree w Snowden in that the criminality isn’t in the possession of classified docs in the moron’s sock drawer, but in the fact that the DOJ deliberately hid the truth until after 11/08…
I fear that this is to insure that Biden…and Trump…cannot run in 2024. The Deep State will pick its own candidate.
Hur looks a little *cough* Chinesey. Links to the CCP anyone? I hate to paint with a broad brush but it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that all is not as it seems. Now we can have literally years of an investigation that goes nowhere to run out the clock on old Joe and no one can ask any meaningful questions because ‘I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation’.
Sundance is correct as usual. It isn’t about purloined secret docs (if they even exist at all) It’s about the Spec. Counsel. A lot of commentors on here don’t seem to be reading what Sundance is writing…
elsewhere it’s been suggested that this is a diversion for something the DemocRATs don’t want people hearing about.
Because these classified documents were discovered way back before Nov.2022,and could have just been destroyed,nobody would miss them,they’ve been unsecured since 2017, 5 years.
I’m getting the sense someone want Biden out of the way. Kamala? Who else? Something isn’t meshing, and it’s more than dates.
and (b) because a special counsel appointment will now throw the bag of “a current investigation” over any efforts from the Republican House of Representatives to investigate the office of the presidency.
That had never even occurred to me. Sundance, Sir….you are a genius !!!
Though appointed by Trump, have to assume they have been corrupted or coerced by the deep state.
Quick, feed the evidence to a grand jury and get it protected forever from release!!!
That is what this is…
The only “special ” thing the swamp has seen in a long long time, is the Real President Donald J. Trump.
These corrupt losers have used every single demonic depraved attempt they could muster……………..and failed miserably every single time.
The Freak Show continues.
The biden special counsel has limited powers and is a weak nothing.
The TRump special counsel had wide open powers and can do anything.
See the reporting level on this – near zero.
