Robert Hur admits 'forgetful' Biden read ALOUD classified files to ghost writer of his $8m book - who then tried to 'DESTROY the evidence': Special Counsel confirms president wanted to keep documents for 'pride and money'​





Former special counsel Robert Hur revealed in Capitol Hill testimony that Biden 'willfully' retained classified materials as a private citizen and gave them to Mark Zwonitzer - the ghost writer of his $8 million book - who later tried to destroy them.

Hur arrived on Capitol Hill to offer insight into his devastating classified documents report that painted Biden as 'elderly' and 'forgetful' and with 'diminished faculties,' but did not recommend charges for the president.

He pushed back on Democrats who claimed his report cleared Biden of any wrongdoing, saying it 'did not exonerate' the president.

'We identified evidence that the President willfully retained classified materials after the end of his vice presidency, when he was a private citizen,' Hur said during the high-stakes hearing.

Hur said that included in the evidence was a recorded conversation between Biden and his ghost writer Zwonitzer in which the president stated that he had just 'found all the classified stuff downstairs.'

After leaving the vice presidency, Biden and now-First Lady Jill signed a multi-book deal with Flatiron Books valued at $8 million, according to Publishers Weekly.

The first book, 'Promise Me, Dad,' a memoir that centers on when his son Beau died and he decided not to run for president in 2015, briefly topped the best sellers list.

Hur shockingly revealed that the ghost writer tried to hide evidence after he was named special counsel in the case.

'What did that ghostwriter do with the information Joe Biden shared with him on his laptop, what did he do after you were named special counsel?' House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan asked the former special counsel.

'He slid those files into the recycle bin on his computer,' Hur said.

Turley: Democrats 'Bordered on Delusional' While Questioning Special Counsel Hur​




While Republicans continued to stress the two-tiered justice system in the case of Biden's classified documents vs. those of Donald Trump, Democrats continually tried to put words in Hur's mouth that neither he nor his report said.

So how bad were the Democrats? George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said the Democrats' questioning of Hur "seemed almost to border on the delusional."

During an appearance on Fox News's “America Reports,” Turley gave a perfect example.

Well, I thought the Republicans did a particularly good job today. Often the Democrats are way ahead in framing of hearings, but at points the Democrats seemed almost a border on the delusional.

When you had Hur say ‘I did not exonerate the president’ and then Democrats would say ‘OK, so you exonerated the president’ and he would say ‘No, I didn’t’ and they would say ‘Thank you for that, with that exoneration.’

So for a lot of people watching, they probably kept on having to sort of reverse and see if they missed something here.

The thing to remember when Democrat politicians play this kind of nonsensical game is that they're playing solely to their base — low-information voters who don't give a damn about the facts.

And I'd bet a dollar that every Democrat on the Judicial Committee, from serial-lying Adam Schiff (CA) to "genius" Sheila Jackson Lee (TX) knew long before the hearing began that Robert Hur is way too smart to succumb to their transparent attempts to portray his report as anything but what it was.

Democrats Are Seething After Robert Hur's Testimony, and the Highlights Are Brutal for Joe Biden​








Another big blow to Democrats came when Rep. Pramila Jayapal tried to claim that Hur had "exonerated" the president. The former special counsel responded by flatly denying that his report did any such thing.






As RedState reported at the time, the report pointed to ample evidence that Biden broke the law. The reason Hur didn't recommend prosecution was two-fold. First, a sitting president can't be indicted under current DOJ protocol. Secondly, according to the report, Biden is just too old and cognitively challenged to stand trial.

Another incredible exchange came when Rep. Adam Schiff suggested that Hur should have released a sanitized version of his report so as not to make judgments about someone who wasn't criminally charged.

Turns Out Biden Lied About Hur, Beau, And Why He Pilfered Classified Documents​



Here is the key interaction:

MR. HUR: So during this time when you were living at Chain Bridge Road and there were documents relating to the Penn Biden Center, or the Biden Institute, or the Cancer Moonshot, or your book, where did you keep papers that related to those things that you were actively working on?
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Well, um .. . I , I, I, I, I don’ t know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area?
MR. HUR: Yes, sir.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Remember, in this timeframe, my son is either been deployed or is dying, and, and so it was and by the way, there were still a lot of people at the time when I got out of the Senate that were encouraging me to run in this period, except the President. I’m not — and not a mean thing to say. He just thought that she had a better shot of winning the presidency than I did. And so I hadn’t, I hadn’t, at this point — even though I’m at Penn, I hadn’t walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, I’d be running for President. And, and so what was happening, though – what month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30th –
MS. COTTON: 2015.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: 2015.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Was it 2015 he had died?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: It was May of 2015.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: It was 2015.

I hate these hearings. They're just a show because everyone knows Democrats are untouchable and can break the law and do as they please with no pushback. There is more than enough evidence to put Joe behind bars for life, but nothing will come of this. Republicans have no stomach for conflict and don't like it when MSNBC says mean things about them.

The left has always equated "Let off the hook" or "given a pass" with "exonerated".

It'd be nice, but they won't.

The Press is nothing more than the Propaganda Ministry for the DNC now.

As with all of them.

Nothing positive ever comes out of one.

Just an opportunity for them to pose for the camera.

Aside from Watergate - I really don’t think anything ever comes from these things. When that woman kept saying Joe was exonerated - and Hur said, no that’s not in the report —

And she interrupts and says *I* am speaking -

Well she’s SUPPOSED to be asking QUESTIONS. Not delivering a speech. But that’s what it is.

And I swear I almost lost when Senator Zombie just accused Hur of being partisan.

What exactly IS the point of these hearings? It seems everyone has a political speech but no looking for answers.

And I still don’t get the “but Trump!…” bit. Imagine at the trial of those guys who beat up that cop in NYC and he declares “but Trump!”. As though guilt or innocence or anything is some kind of zero sum game and Trump is always the other half.
