#roberthur — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #roberthur, aggregated by home.social.

  1. In the wake of President Joe #Biden’s poor #debate performance, his opponents & most major #media orgs have pointed out that he has done few interviews that give the public an opportunity to hear him speak w/o a script or teleprompters.

    So much has been made of this limited access that the impressions from Special Counsel #RobertHur about his 5 hrs of interviews w/the president on Oct 8 & 9 drove months of coverage.

  2. #MerrickGarland’s testimony before the #House #Judiciary Cmte came as #GOP House *leaders* #threatened to hold him in #contempt in their efforts to gain access to audio recordings from special counsel #RobertHur’s investigation into President Biden’s handling of #classified materials.
    #Biden last month exerted executive #privilege …after Garland requested he do so over concerns releasing them could #harm future efforts to get ofcls to cooperate w/investigations & sit for taped interviews.

    SOMETHING THAT MYSTIFIES ME is why a clearly intelligent *Asian* man like #RobertHur would try to support/assist a racist like Donald T**** who thought it was hilarious to call #Covid: #TheChinaVirus & #KungFlu, inciting violence against #Asian Americans across the country? 🤨

  5. So #RobertHur lied 😬 Such a despicable man 🤬

    “Rep. Eric Swalwell, noted that #Hur described Biden as having a “photographic memory” during the deposition. Salon described the exchange as follows:

    Swalwell: You said to President #Biden, “you appear to have a photographic understanding and recall.” Did you say that?

    Hur: Those words do appear in the transcript.

    Swalwell: [Those words] never appeared in your report.

    Hur: It does not appear in my report.”

  6. On #RobertHur’s hearing before the House Judiciary Committee

    TL:DR No evidence of #Dementia or Graft

    “Hours before the hearing was about to begin, the Department of Justice released a transcript of Biden’s interviews…The transcripts belied #Hur’s portrayal of Biden’s answers; among other things, he clearly knew the exact date Beau died.

    The transcript also revealed a pointed contrast between #Trump and #Biden, with the president telling investigators he didn’t “own a stock or a bond that I’m aware of….The thing I valued most my whole life, my reputation and integrity.“

  12. The Republicans have become very incompetent at the old "let's hold hearings and the American public will assume that means there's a crime" gambit, thankfully.

  13. Full #transcript of #Biden’s interview paints nuanced portrait
    #POTUS doesn’t seem as absent-minded as #Hur said

    Biden was in the early stages of his interview w/ SC #RobertHur when the topic of #BeauBiden came up — initially w/Biden raising it & later as Biden was attempting to get his chronological bearings.
    
“What month did Beau die? [to introduce the topic] Oh God, May 30,” he said, naming the correct day, acc/to a transcript of the exchange.

  14. #RobertHur said that AG #MerrickGarland did not interfere w/his investigation or attempt to modify his report.
Rep Joe #Neguse asked #Hur a series of yes/no questions about whether #Garland —or any #DOJ ofcls— attempted to impede the investigation.
    
The appointment of a #SpecialCounsel is intended to make high-profile, sensitive investigations as #independent & #apolitical as possible. A SC has more independence from DOJ ldrs than other fed prosecutors, but still ultimately answers to the #USAG.

  15. In one of the toughest exchanges at the hearing so far, Rep Adam Schiff excoriated fmr special counsel #RobertHur for issuing a “deeply #prejudicial” report that hurt President #Biden’s #political standing by suggesting his mental faculties were failing.
    
“You were not born yesterday, you understood exactly what you were doing,” Schiff said. “You cannot tell me you’re so naive to think your words would not have created a political firestorm.”

  16. #Hur tells #Congress his report “did not exonerate” #Biden

    #Republicans & #Democrats are condemning fmr *special* counsel #RobertHur for his report that declines to charge #POTUS for mishandling classified materials. During the Congressional hearing, Dems have so far focused on Hur’s decision to include disparaging details about Biden.
    
“You made a choice. It was a #political choice. It was the wrong choice,” said Rep Adam Schiff

  17. Looks like #roberthur was smart to retire the day before he was humiliated and shown to be a lying asshole who mischaracterized his interview with President Biden. What a jackass. I hope whatever he got from the #magamorons for selling out was worth the total destruction of his reputation and his job. rawstory.com/robert-hur-trump/

  18. #JamieRaskin at the #RobertHur hearing: "This is a memory test. It's not a memory test for President Biden. It's a memory test for all America. Do we remember fascism?"

  20. “That makes it even more problematic...if he was still a federal employee, #DOJ would have to approve his #testimony & they’d be involved in his appearance,” they said.
    In addition to the timing of his departure raising alarms…, sources have also been alarmed by #Hur’s choice of assocs during the lead-up to his appearance.
    In preparing for the hearing, #RobertHur has turned to William Burck, a veteran DC atty w/deep ties to the #Republican #political establishment to serve as his counsel….

  27. This report is bizarre. Not only does it say over & over again there’s no evidence to support #POTUS #Biden willfully retained the #ClassifiedDocuments & then magically finds that he did. It also says “jurors will conclude that Mr. Biden—a powerful, sophisticated person with access to the best advice in the world…” then claims he is elderly w/memory issues. Which is it #RobertHur? It can’t be both.
