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.
Robert K. Hur was Special Assistant and Counsel to FBI director Christopher Wray.
AND top aide to Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein.
–
In no universe should he be “investigating” Biden’s classified documents situation, or be considered “special counsel” or “nonpartisan”.
I guess Eric Swalwell was too busy.
Why didn’t they just assign Schiff? Why pretend?
The uniparty is making sure Joe doesnt run in 2024. If he is obstinate the msm will suddenly act like journalists
Coverup. The special counsel probably makes congressional oversight impossible.
Smoke and mirrors. A specialty of the scurrilous Department of (In)justice.
Ho hum….
Looks a lot like John Durham.
Whose that?
Is John Durham still alive? Whatever happened to the ongoing investigation he was hired to do for Crossfire Hurricane? Where are the criminal indictments that we were told were coming? Was he off’d after Biden took power? Wray still uses the “We can’t comment on an ongoing investigation ” excuse to dodge Congressional questions regarding FIB’s criminal activities on that matter.
Sundance is right. This Rosentstein/Wray crony will be used in the exact same way to dodge investigations against their Crime Boss and his syndicate. Until Dirty Cop Garland is impeached there will be no legitimate pursuit of justice at DOJ over ANYTHING. It really is best to just defund the entire agency and use the money to hire legitimate non-partisan people who are not beholden to the Democrat Crime Syndicate. Next, disgraced, cowardly, corrupt RINO, Bill Barr will try to pose as a respectful representative of US laws and give everyone advice via CNN. Get your hip-waders handy.
When is FIB going to carry out a pre-dawn raid on Biden’s Delaware crime HQ? What other criminal evidence does he have stashed there? Why aren’t his “visitors” there part of public record? Is that why he spends more time there than at the WH?
TRUTH President Trump@realDonaldTrump
When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House? These documents were definitely not declassified.
U.S. attorney reviewing documents marked classified from Joe Biden’s vice presidency found at Biden think tank
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-center-classified-documents/
Dear PDJT, not just raiding bidet’s multiple properties, how about asking OBAMA, “Which documents did YOU declassify for Joe biden?”
Go on offense. Make obama respond too.
Related To Chairman Xi?
If Xi had a daughter…Hur.
It’s so obvious it’s laughable, because of these documents Biden will not be able to run in 24, then it with give the uniparty cover to declare Trump disqualified from running or holding public. They will all conveniently forget that it is not an apples to apples comparison, that as president Trump declassified all his documents.
It’s like sending a scrub into the game to pick a fight with the star player on opposing team with both getting thrown out of the game it is a huge net gain.
normies don’t care about democrat documents. most won’t even hear of the topic anyway
Secret doc keeping Trump from running is silly.
You can argue whether it would be warranted for Hillary and Uncle Joe, but you have to know what those documents are then don’t you?
Great analogy.
Absolutely correct, it is incredibly obvious.
I believe Trump could legally run from a prison cell because the Constitution doesn’t forbid it.
Eugene Debbs
Do you think legal, fair or the constitution matter to these people, do we still not understand what we are fighting.
Heck the Republican and Democratic parties could simply have a gentleman’s agreement that neither Biden nor Trump can run in the primaries, remember these are private companies. They just need the slimmest of narratives, it doesn’t have to make sense when you control all the levers of power.
Trump broke no laws. Unlike Biden. Big difference.
Trump broke no laws when he was elected in 2016 and yet they hamstrung his administration for its entirety with special counsels, investigations and attemptes to impeach him.
Do you think it matters to the corrupt DOJ, Mitch McConnell and the rest of the uniparty Senators, Kevin Mccarthy, or the corrupt media?
How can they spin this?
Just because they declare, doesn’t make it so.
Bingo
a special counsel or uniparty cannot stop anybody from runing..
…
The Constitution lists only three qualifications for the Presidency — the President must be at least 35 years of age, be a natural born citizen, and must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years.
Yeah, I’m sure nothing will come of any of this.
There was TS/SCI/Noforn/TK content in the fraction of Hidabeast emails that WERE found and analyzed (the 340k found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop were never thoroughly analyzed).
The Spy Satellite Secrets in Hillary’s Emails
These weren’t just ordinary secrets found in Clinton’s private server, but some of the most classified material the U.S. government has.

And then take bleachbit and a hammer to it?
The third reason for a special council is to throw Biden under the bus to legitimize similar charges against President Trump. thus killing two birds with one stone, so to speak. All hail President Harris, anyone?
Two percent Harris. The one that dropped out after the first primary.
Doesn’t matter. She’s a placeholder anyway. The same puppet masters pulling Slo-Joe’s strings will continue to pull hers until their desired replacement is installed in 2024.
ineligible and illegal….not even a US citizen by 14th Amendment provisions
Today’s Special Counsel on Biden Documents has more justification than Rosenstein’s appointment of Robert Mueller to investigate Trump in 2017. At least the current SC has a definite crime to investigate.
Trump broke no laws. Stop buying their narrative. It’s BS and for us to keep parroting makes us a joke too.
Trump had full declass authority as President. Matters not what anyone else says. It just doesn’t. There is legal precedent as well.
Biden has no delcass authority. And he was VP. He had no right to have CSI materials.
These details are vital.
Stop parroting the BS MSM talking points.
That’s what I think. Biden couldn’t run in 2024 they know it. How convenient they can get Trump now for the same thing, and get rid of the lame duck at the same time.
how so??????….PDJT had the PLENARY power to declassify at will…..Slo Joe…..not so much so
More Importantly,…. Trump’s Mar a Lago ClasMat docs that were declassified by him prior to leaving the WH (per Kash Patel) are covered under the Presidential Records Act which calls for a Civil penalty if violations are found, which they wont be in court.
However, AG, Heir Garland has claimed that Trump has violated Criminal statutes, which is false, so his charges can be either thrown out of court, or Appealed, all the way to SCOTUS if necessary, and Garland will fail.
Biden has no Presidential Records Act cover for his ClasMat Criminal violations. Check Mate, Heir Garland!
Apples and Oranges indeed,…. Apples = Trump violated no ClasMat Docs laws,…. Oranges = Biden is guilty of violating Criminal ClasMat Docs laws. Suck on it, MSM!
And so just like that, the cloak of invisibility descends upon Biden family malfeasance.
And to any more questions from the Press . . . “No comment.”
And just like that, no one is talking about Biden’s Border visit & the DNA or any of its contents/ramifications
TRUTH President Trump @realDonaldTrump
Merrick Garland has to immediately end Special Counsel investigation into anything related to me because I did everything right, and appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Joe Biden who hates Biden as much as Jack Smith hates me.
https://truthsocial.com/users/realDonaldTrump/statuses/109677461139498199
I still think this is more about getting Trump disqualified from running for president than getting Biden. I don’t think they (the ones in control) care about Biden. He’s fading fast. They want Trump gone. This is a way to legitimize charges against Trump.
Perhaps, but the stark differences actually highlight that Trump had the authority to declassify documents. He also didn’t leave documents just laying around in his garage.
I maintain that everyone knows Biden is about to go down and this is a way for democrats to “take the high ground” and investigate their own.
TRUTH @loudobbs3m
Top secret government documents found in three different locations in the possession of Joe Biden, dating from his years as Vice President. These documents should never have been in his possession, and the White House has known about this and withheld the facts from the public. It’s laughable to watch various news anchors contort themselves trying to excuse Biden, to rationalize how the two cases differ. Marxist Dem corporate media trying to cover for Biden.
#TheGreatAmericaShow
MSM is that you?
Stop parroting their talking points. First, they are completely baseless and not aligned with the law. They are BS.
Second- it’s just BS. Simple.
Stop parroting ridiculous talking points. Don’t let them gas light you.
<Sniff> <Sniff> – I suspect there will not be a finding of any wrong-doing. More like, “We looked, we saw, we dismissed.”
Nothing will come of it.
Boy are you the optimist, Renegade. There will be no “looked,” “saw,” only “dismissed.”
But it is always best to have hope.
They will use the “Biden did not have intent” defense.
their favorite excuse with Dimm/commies and Uniparty wrongdoers….no INTENT
If that is the goal then why break the story at all? We never would have heard about it.
Moreover, when the story broke, it broke on a Monday, not on a Friday afternoon. Followed by round 2 on Wednesday, and then on Thursday, just 72 hours after the initial story ran, a SC was appointed.
This is by design, planned, the regime has an objective here. Debatable what that is, we could speculate, but clearly just from these simple facts they don’t plan on this “going away.”
It just occurred to me that if every adult was assigned a special counsel our economy would be rocking… lol
Kabuki theater.
Report draft: he didn’t do nuffin
Lausch said on November
14 he is leaving in early 2023 for the private sector? (@ 3:10)
When was he appointed? It looks like he was appointed Nov 2, but if someone has a firm date I would appreciate it.
Something ain’t right here.
Two weeks investigating Trump and already planning on leaving, or getting kicked out?
So the DOJ knew 11/4 of F Biden having classified documents, 4 days before the midterms. Where is the special council investigation of Garland for interfereing with the election!!!
The ongoing COVID-19 nonsense here in the United States exists solely and exclusively because our governments have failed to use the correct treatment. They used so-called “vaccines” when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease. IVM was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2015. One of the 3 most important drugs in human history: Aspirin, Penicillin, and Ivermectin. If you want to get Ivermectin you can visit needivm.com
Interesting. Did FJB have classified docs regarding COVID in his car? His house?
If not, wtf does this have to do with the topic?
Twitter misses you.
“…when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease…”
How so?
If you want to send your routing and bank account number overseas….
This is all about hiding everything under an excuse of “a DOJ investigation.”
No witnesses can be called before Congress. No evidence can be divulged. Boom. Memory hole.
Nothing will be discussed. End of scandal.
this is a small scandal in relation to other Biden investigations
Going forward, everything historical-Biden will be off limits to the Press and GOP.
He is going to BURY it.
Where are the FBLie raids? Where are the CNN cameras? Where are the circling helicopters?
WHERE IS JUSTICE?
So the Chinese are going to investigate Biden’s collusion with…the CHINESE?
White House Press Conference today:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/live/
Obviously it’s Trump’s fault that Biden had those documents. There are millions of morons in this country who will actually believe that when the media tells them to believe it. God help us.
“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.”
The department’s highest tradition is to never take more than a four hour lunch.
“The more he proclaimed his honor, the faster we counted the spoons”.
I thought the highest traditions were to frame Americans for crimes, pester soccer moms at school board meetings, spy on DJT, harass Veterans who don’t want to become part of their Jan 6 fiasco, and to get in front of cameras to announce that since so and so they are looking into is a (D) Different, that no reasonable prosecutor would ever press charges.
“………and in accordance with the highest traditions of this Department.”
It’s always about “the Department” isn’t it. Guy sounds like he’s reading Bondo Bill Barr’s script.
Translation: “…We keep you alive to serve this ship. Row well, and live…”
Dirty players, every last one of them, dems, rhinos and judicially corrupt
I think Joe keeps his old stash of Playboys in the garage too.
“Let me show you my favorite picture of her,” he told Kitty Kelley, holding up a picture of Neilia in a bikini. “She had the best body of any woman I ever saw. She looks better than a Playboy bunny, doesn’t she?”
https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/a-bizarre-and-revealing-biden-interview/
Nothing to see…move along. It’s only to shield the docs from any investigation by the House going forward. Even a fifth grader could figure that out!
I think investigating Biden for keeping some classified documents is small time compared to the other corruption the republicans will be investigating. “A current investigation” excuse for this isn’t going to impact everything else being investigated.
I think the other investigations make Joe a liability and this is a quick way to destroy him politically while being able to gain the high ground over the Trump case, which is completely different.
There are so many truly Special Counsel worthy aspects of the Biden presidency.
Yet only this matter is something that merits one? It is because this can also be used against Trump and the prevention of Trump’s 2024 candidacy is the real target here. What better way to emphasize the trumped up phony gravity of what is an otherwise nothing story than to be able to take out Biden while taking out Trump.
Everyone in DC has mishandled classified documents–it’s almost impossible not to the way that everything is marked “classified”. But only one of them has achieved a level of corruption as evidenced on the Hunter laptop, has failed to uphold the Constitution time and again and lies with such impunity that it even embarrasses your average politician–and yet no Special Counsel for any of that.
The only mildly amusing thing in all this is that leftist Democrats are so used to never being held accountable by the media that they forget it can happen if the DC masters want it to happen and this is what it looks like. It is easy to tell when that is the case because CNN is leading on the story rather than ignoring it save possibly for the use of fake fact checkers to dismiss it.
There was an interview yesterday with McCarthy and Hannity where McCarthy said their investigations have exception to “current investigation” clause.
Now the question is if the GOP will have the intestinal fortitude to challenge Garland when they (the DOJ) ignores the House claim and request for all documents.
Nothing would be better than the House sending the Sargent of Arms to escort Garland to the House jails until the DOJ complies.
I also thought a special counsel had to be from the private sector.
As usual, this embarrassing situation will be covered in a mound of …..obfuscation…
Only reason this is happening is the Democrats want Joe gone. Never have I seen Democrats go after their own. That plus once they say Joe is guilty they will pile on that Trump is guilty too. Yes, I know it’s different,but that won’t stop the narrative.
So who is going to investigate the DOJ? Will Merrick Garland assign yet another Special prosecutor to investigate itself?
Snowden would continue, “The scandal is that the DOJ found out about it a week prior to the midterm elections and chose to suppress the story, conferring a partisan advantage.”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/01/trump-edward-snowden-raise-interesting-question-regarding-timing-biden-doc-scandal/
Since there is overlap of wh / doj corruption etal,
just expand the scope of the new SC
( whitewash operations and double standards )?
Meanwhile the next $election is untold getting ready with a clean slate…to continue the miss operations with help of the media?
Ah, the Polisher had to be replaced with a Fixer- thus now this guy appointed as the SC.
Yes, I’m sure people will be held to account. It won’t be Joe. Or anyone associated with Joe. No. The Fixer will cover that up, write a report (similar to Mueller’s but exonerating), and FJB and Jill will eventually spank Hunter for being irresponsible and leaving the docs the Chinese paid for lying around to be found.
Does this mean that someone with popcorn or ice cream
might watch the state of the union to a joint session of congress
or
maybe it may be delayed ?
I do not know
Lawyers have been the death of this country.
Republicans get criminal investigations.
Democrats get a review of the matter.
Where have I heard that phrase before?
Biden, as VICE-President, did not have the authority to keep ONE classified document, much less boxes full! When will he be impeached for multiple felonies while VP? Felons can not run for President! This makes Biden an illegal President, since he ran under fraudulent eligibility.
Peter Doocy LIGHTS BIDEN UP – Asks Why Classified Documents Were Next to His Corvette in Delaware Garage (VIDEO)
By Cristina Laila
Published January 12, 2023, at 10:45am
Joe Biden on Thursday delivered remarks on the economy after another abysmal inflation report was released.
Biden took some questions after he lied about the state of the US economy.
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy really ruffled Biden’s feathers Thursday morning when he asked about the second batch of classified materials found in his Delaware garage.
Joe Biden’s aides found at least one more batch of classified documents at another location.

Here comes the whitewash
It wouldn’t have surprised me to hear that Merrick had appointed Inspector Clouseau.
Inspector Clouseau may have been a bit of a bumbling clown, but he did have integrity. Clouseau would be a substantial improvement.

It has devolved into an international laughing stock.

Once the special counsel commences does the Congress have access to those documents once they start investigating Hunter/Joe?
Just more theater of the absurd
Bingo, heading off any further inquiries.
Why was it announced two months later?
Scum.
If nothing else they can blame the nice green Corvette for stealing and stashing the documents!
Bad car! No oil change for you!
Now for a comment from the SCOTUS

Either The Marx Brothers or Abbott and Costello..
It’s almost as if they were holding on this announcement until they knew the GOP was going to take control of the House and start investigations. They certainly know how to cover their bases…unlike like The Stupid Party.
(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.
Raise your hand if your bored already ?
WTF
I’ll see your “current investigation” and raise you an Impeachment…
“The Department of Justice is requesting that the justification of an FBI raid on a reportedly recognized whistleblower’s home remain secret, according to a letter from U.S. Attorney Robert Hur.”
Fascinating:
https://dailycaller.com/2018/12/10/doj-clinton-foundation-raid-secret/
Interesting to see how true this latest tidbit trending on Truth Social is in reality:
Trending now is a picture of Hunter’s driver’s license with the 2nd locations address with people saying that DMV records list the home as Hunter’s not Joe’s. The people saying have reported that it has been verified by the Delaware DMV.
I’ll take it with a grain of salt but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Oh, this is only going to get juicy if the MSM has a come to moment and realizes they might as well start telling the truth. But….I won’t hold my breath.
Hunter was the bagman and I suspect most of the property was in his name so that Joe could avoid legal disclosures about his assets.
I agree. Which then also implicates Hunter as having in his possession classified documents. If it’s listed in city records as Hunter’s house- two Bidens now have issues. But I bet they never go there.
I want to know where the photo spread of the docs will be released? And the raids on other properties?
What do sources familiar with the matter have to say about all of this?
I would tell you, but I try to avoid talking like a sailor in front of ladies.
This lady does not mind, but thank you for that.
Bless your soul, child of light.
They say it’s all a misdirection from the fact that Obama is the “10% Big Guy”, because Joey Shitferbrainz always took 50% from Hunter.
Obama had Shitferbrainz plant the docs in various places so that Hunter can sell them to the highest bidders.
C’mon Dwayne……..they’re looking for a clean rug to lay them on!
NY Post tweeted quote of docu ment in which Hunter asked property manager to give keys to Joe Jill Jim and 2 Chinese partners to one of the locations.
This supposedly was put out by the expert on Hunter’s laptop, the NYPost writer, Miranda Devine.
