Mediaite reports: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) claimed during a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday that Special Counsel Robert Hur found that President Joe Biden “broke the law, but he’s not going to be charged.” “We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter,” begins the report, which goes on to detail …
Im just confused about why people feel this way, and Im trying to get to the bottom of it
I dont think the people saying “he didnt break the law” have actually read the report.
Hur’s report contains dozens of similar paragraphs regarding his conclusion that Biden did not break the law in retaining classified documents.
thats not a good characterization of the report.
The paragraphs frequently end like this: (pg-5 AKA 9 of the pdf)
And his cooperation with our investigation, including by reporting to the
government that the Afghanistan documents were in his Delaware garage, will likely
convince some jurors that he made an innocent mistake, rather than acting
willfully-that is, with intent to break the law-as the statute requires.
Basically they’re saying that he obviously broke the law, but if just 1 jurror is sympathetic to the idea that it wasn’t willful, he gets off, so why bother. This is a perfectly fine and rational thing for the prosecutor to say.
The only thing is, nobody is debating whether or not biden actually broke the law, the evidence supports that unequivocally…
EDIT: just search the PDF for Zwonitzer: and you will find tons of examples of biden bragging about having classified info he knew he wasn’t supposed to have.
