The House Judiciary Committee is currently receiving testimony from Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding his investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.
It didn’t take much time for tensions to rise. Representatives from both political parties are raising concerns about Hur’s decision not to pursue charges against Biden, who referred to the president as “an elderly man with a poor memory” in his final report.
The situation intensified when California Democrat Representative Adam Schiff insinuated that Hur may have had a political agenda when writing his report.
Schiff pointed out that Hur couldn’t possibly be oblivious to the “political firestorm” that would arise from his portrayal of Biden.
“Mr. Hur, you cannot tell me you’re so naive as to think your words would not have created a political firestorm. You understood that, didn’t you, when you wrote those words?” Schiff said, referring to Hur discussing Biden’s memory in the report.
In response, Hur continued to say that “politics played no part whatsoever” in his report, saying that he followed DOJ regulations.
Schiff went on to accuse Hur of using language in his report that he knew “would be useful in a political campaign.”
“You were not born yesterday. You understood exactly what you were doing,” Schiff said.

The release of Hur’s conclusive findings, labeling Biden as an “elderly individual with cognitive decline,” caused a stir among progressives.
Hur and the report faced backlash from Democrats for supposedly employing “biased language” to undermine the 81-year-old president.
The topic of Biden’s age and mental acuity is a significant focus in the upcoming 2024 presidential race.
Republicans capitalized on Hur’s conclusions to bolster their argument that Biden is unfit for reelection.
Schiff is unfit for office. Sociopath
Schiff is the definition of a crooked politician. He is pulling out all of his anti-anything not democrat guns but frankly, the voters are quite tired of his diatribes. He is a user and is willing to go to any lengths to game the system in democrats favor.
Schiff thinks everyone is a scheming psychopath…like himself.
