‘Did Not Exonerate’ Biden — And Other Spicy Moments From Hur’s Testimony (VIDEO)
Both sides went in loaded for bear, hoping to come back with a devastating soundbite
The hearings began, as they always do, with opening comments by the chairman, the ranking member, and the witness.
In this case, the witness was (former) Special Council Robert Hur. He appeared as a private citizen, and carefully restricted the scope of his testimony to exclude certain topic he considered to be out of bounds, including questions about the investigation that are not covered in the report itself — including whether or not this or that line of inquiry or this or that witness were considered as part of his case.
Dems tried hard to claim he had exonerated Biden. He put them in their place.

And Russia-hoaxer and Impeachment prosecutor Jamie Raskin trotted out the same tired comparisons to Nazis and gulags:
America—not Joe Biden—faces a memory test today. Will we remember the sacrifices of prior generations who defeated fascism, Nazism, and Communism or will we sleep-walk into a new age of authoritarianism?

By way of contrast to Jayapal, here is a series of questions about the nature of the charges that does NOT put words in Hur’s mouth.
Classified documents were found at the Penn-Biden Center? “That’s correct.”
They were found in President Biden’s garage in Wilmington, Delaware? “Yes.”
And in his basement den? “Yes.”
And in the office? “Correct.”
And his third-floor den? “Correct.”

Matt Gaetz hammers some of Joe’s lies point by point:
BREAKING: Special Counsel Robert Hur ADMITS Joe Biden LIED when Biden said he did not share classified information
GAETZ: “Joe Biden said, ‘I guarantee I did not share classified information.’ That’s not true, is it?”
HUR: “That is inconsistent with the findings.” pic.twitter.com/NyKPjHsozE

But the fact remains that Trump is prosecuted while Joe and Hillary both got a pass for similar situations.

Paul Sperry live-tweeted the hearings, and in his recent reporting revealed a detail Hur almost certainly did NOT include in his charging calculus, one that few have picked up on. The Hunter Biden angle.

They didn’t just mishandle the documents, they were notified 2 weeks earlier to leave any classified materials untouched when they boxed everything up. The classified materials were boxed up anyway.
NOW do we know why officials and not no-name interns were assigned the menial task of packing up Joe’s boxes?
If Trump tried this, there would be an impeachment for obstruction of justice…
REVEALED: Biden's lawyers sent no fewer than five (5) letters to Special Counsel Hur over course of his yearlong investigation of Biden's classified breaches to try to influence his probe, inclg sending Hur volumes of material from Reagan diaries to try to mitigate Biden's crimes

Game. Set. Match.
Hur had MOTIVE: Biden wanted to retain secrets to "profit" from $8 mil book deal
Hur had INTENT: Biden shared w ghostwriter the "classified stuff" & bragged he hid it from WH custodians
Hur had fact Biden KNEW breaking law: warned for decades about mishandling
Yet Hur PUNTED!

Rabid leftist prosecutors throw everything but the kitchen sink at Republicans, right-of-center prosecutors are too timid even to prosecute specifically articulated violations of law.
Wouldn’t it be nice if both sides actually focused their energy on apply the law as it was written, rather than letting the fact that politicians are involved shape their decisions?
Psalms of War: Prayers That Literally Kick Ass is a collection, from the book of Psalms, regarding how David rolled in prayer. I bet you haven’t heard these read, prayed, or sung in church against our formidable enemies — and therein lies the Church’s problem. We’re not using the spiritual weapons God gave us to waylay the powers of darkness. It might be time to dust them off and offer ‘em up if you’re truly concerned about the state of Christ’s Church and of our nation.
Also included in this book, Psalms of War, are reproductions of the author’s original art from his Biblical Badass Series of oil paintings.
This is a great gift for the prayer warriors. Real. Raw. Relevant.
