Hur is a highly partisan republican. If you don't think he wouldn't relish the opportunity to refer a sitting president for prosecution, I don't know what to tell you. |
Hur lied. He said “willfully” up front but then admitted inside that he did not have any evidence of intent and there were plausible innocent explanations. This is Comey 2.0. Official exoneration accompanied by unprofessional commentary for partisan political effect. |
You're just a shameless liar. The first paragraph of the report says: "We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter.1 We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president." https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24414122-report-from-special-counsel-robert-k-hur-february-2024 |
So, you only read the first paragraph and not the rest of the document where he was pretty specific in saying no crimes were committed and no charges were warranted. |
PP hasn't even read the first paragraph! He's lying about even that! The first paragraph says "We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter.1 We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president." |
No criminal charges warranted because he has such a bad memory..... "We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Eiden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness." |
Why did you lie about what the report says? |
If Hur said that in court the other side would object as it’s entirely speculative. |
You’re still lying. The main reason Hur gives is they cannot prove he actually knew these documents were there. |
Criminal defense lawyers will now have another defense - "I don't remember anything doctrine" aka 'Joe Biden defense' for any crimes involving 'willfulness.'. |
