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 …
If you keep reading you’ll see you’re making the same stretch that trump supporters made when they said “the Muller report absolves trump.”
The next paragraphs read:
Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained
and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private
citizen.
…
However, for the reasons summarized below, we conclude that the evidence
does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Then on page 219, they say unequivocally:
Mr. Biden will likely present himself to the jury, as he did during his interview with our office, as a sympathetic, well
meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.
So, hur does not say that biden didn’t break any laws, in fact there is evidence biden intentionally broke the laws, but they’re not charging him because they don’t think they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he acted with malicious intent because hes senile!
Having a poor memory doesn’t mean you didn’t break any laws…
EDIT: If you read the report instead of that biased article you will see that there is a ton of evidence that biden was told many times to return the classified material and refused.
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.
