Special Counsel Robert Hur has made himself an enemy of the national political press for the offense of telling the truth about Joe Biden’s failing memory. Hur cited Biden’s age and poor memory as a chief basis for not prosecuting Biden mishandling national-security documents while out of office — the same sorts of mishandling that resulted in Jack Smith bringing three dozen felony charges against Donald Trump. He’s being assailed for partisanship in releasing a report detailing his findings, analysis, and conclusions — assailed by all the same people who lauded the Mueller report’s findings, analysis, and conclusions, and who assure us that it is offensive to even raise the possibility of partisanship or bias on the part of Smith or David Weiss or elected Democrats Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis. Yet, as even Glenn Thrush at the New York Times conceded, Mr. Hur, a registered Republican who has steered clear of partisan politics during a two-decade career as a prosecutor, was chosen, in part, because of his reputation for calmly handling the pressure of high-wire investigations and internal department politics.”
