Following a ‘thorough investigation,’ special counsel Robert Hur is unlikely to charge anyone in connection to President Joe Biden’s classified document scandal, according to multiple reports citing sources familiar with the matter.
Hur’s report is expected to sharply criticize Biden and his aides for their handling of classified documents – the standard treatment for the protected establishment class whose name doesn’t end in Trump.
This outcome raises obvious questions DOJ sham investigations – for if a Special Counsel’s probe into potential mishandling of sensitive national documents results only in criticism and no legal repercussions, what message does it send about accountability at the highest levels of government?
Hur’s investigation, which began in January following his appointment by Attorney General Merrick Garland, has spanned nearly a year. It has involved interviews with around 100 Biden aides, including the President’s embattled son, Hunter Biden, who himself faces unrelated legal troubles following an indictment on federal gun charges. Biden himself was interviewed last month.
“The president has been interviewed as part of the investigation being led by Special Counsel Robert Hur,” reads the statement from the White House Counsel’s Office spokesperson Ian Sams (the guy who lied and had a meltdown over Hunter Biden’s $260K in Chinese wires).
Of note, Hunter Biden listed Joe’s Wilmington, Delaware home – where a bunch of classified documents were found, as his address when he received above mentioned Chinese wires, due to the Biden family’s dealings with CCP-linked businessmen.
As Jonathan Turley noted last month;
The most glaring problem is that, after they were removed at the end of his term as vice president, the documents were repeatedly moved and divided up. Some were found in the Penn Center office used by Biden in Washington, D.C. Others were found in his garage and reportedly in his library.
Biden made clear from the beginning that he expected the investigation to be perfunctory and brief. He publicly declared that he has “no regrets” over his own conduct and told the public that the documents investigation would soon peter out when it determined that “there is no ‘there’ there.”
Now, however, it appears that a critical claim by the White House in the scandal may not only be false, but was knowingly false at the time it was made. The White House and Biden’s counsel have long maintained that, as soon as documents were discovered in the D.C. office, they notified the national archives. Many asked why they did not call the FBI, but the White House has at least maintained that, unlike Trump, they took immediate action to notify authorities.
However, it now appears that this was not true.
One of the closest aides to Biden and a close friend to Hunter Biden is Annie Tomasini. She referred to Hunter as her “brother” and signed off messages with “LY” or “love you.”
Hur was appointed in January by AG Merrick Garland to lead the classified documents probe. Prior that, he was a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor who has litigation experience involving classified materials.
They’re trying to throw Trump in prison over classified documents that he DID have the authority to declassify but Biden won’t even get a slap on wrist for mishandling + keeping classified docs he kept as a VP/Senator when he wasn’t able to declassify them. Political prosecution! https://t.co/8UElp4aGx0

Notably, the investigation has also involved discussions with Secretary of State Tony Blinken, former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, as reported by WSJ. These high-level interviews underscore the gravity of the investigation and the potential ramifications it could have had.
The House Oversight Committee wrote a letter to Hur in October requesting information on whether President Biden possessed classified documents related to his son’s foreign business dealings. The classified documents discovered at the Penn Biden Center and Joe Biden’s Delaware residence date back to his vice presidency and decades-long senate tenure.

As the DOJ investigation winds down, the House Oversight Committee has vowed to continue its quest for clarity and accountability. Former White House Counsel Dana Remus was subpoenaed to appear for a deposition to answer questions about the handling of the classified documents. This move indicates that, while Hur’s investigation may not lead to criminal charges, the political and public scrutiny over the matter is far from over.
Total double standard in Biden vs Trump situations. If no charges are filed on Biden than Trump’s charges should be dismissed!
This whole anti-Trump junta is a dem-sponsored govt gang rape of President Trump and his family and his business enterprises. These fake felonious charges should all be thrown out and the DNC/Soros/Bloomberg/Zuckerberg cabal funding this sectarian intrigue should be held responsible for all the expenses and damages they have intentionally inflicted upon Trump, his family and his brand.
Tax payers should not have to pay for these partisan pack-attacks against POTUS Trump, his family, and his enterprises. All the bureaucratic office holders involved should be held personally liable and responsible for their mis-use and abuse of the powers of their offices in the lynch-mob Left’s conspiratorial attacks upon the clan Trump, their relations, and their enterprises. This would include the clans Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Biden, Garland, Clinton, Obama, Soros, Bloomberg, et al…
These attacks have all been partisan, punitive and personal, and fall well outside the political arena. And for that the abusers should all be held personally and fiscally accountable.
These attacks are all a cancer upon the body politic, and as such, should be cleansed from that anatomy, and the body’s health restored to its naturally competitive state.
In the NFL, a personal assault by one player upon another will get you ejected from the game, and heavily fined in the process. So be it here. Throw the bums out, but make them pay for their transgressions first: reparations, compensating those these political packs have targeted with their evil misdeeds, and make those familial Trump folk whole once again.
We may as well have NO justice system – period!!! It isn’t justice when one many gets arrested for a crime and another, who happens to be a Democrat, commits the same crime with no arrest, not even a slap on the wrist!!! That’s not justice!!! And Joe knows the law – he knows what he did was not only wrong but illegal!!! But whatever gets him his 10% off the top, right???
I hope Democrats realize how many of the other side there are and even some of the Democrat voters are getting fed up with this scenario!!! The wrath of the underdog may be coming for Democrats since Democrats are the ones who have impaled so many Americans with so much suffering while they lie to the public!!! I think we are all fed up with the corruption that is so obvious in Washington D.C.!!!
