Special Counsel Ben
Robert Hur recently released his report on now President Biden’s handling of
classified materials. It read, in part, as follows: “Our investigation
uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified
materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. These
materials included (1) marked classified documents about military and foreign
policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing Mr. Biden’s handwritten
entries about issues of national security and foreign policy implicating
sensitive intelligence sources and methods.”
Moreover, reports
indicate that some of the materials from his notebooks may have been used in
his book, “Promise Me Dad”-- and that Biden
appears to have shared classified information with the book’s ghostwriters.
Yikes.
So, did Mr. Hur
recommend charges against Biden? Perhaps the electric chair for treasonable
offenses?
No.
In fact, he
concluded criminal prosecution is not warranted at this point, even
though Biden kept the documents as a private citizen after his vice presidency
concluded. (And the vice-president, unlike the president, can’t declassify
documents as he or she wishes.)
Former President
Obama’s White House physician avers that the special counsel report proves that
Biden has serious cognitive issues that are getting worse by the day. But Hur
seems to have used those issues as a reason not to punish Biden. Hur’s
report characterized the president
as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man
with a poor memory." Wow. On the other hand, we all know that former
President Trump is an “unsympathetic, ill-meaning, elderly man with a
functional memory…and a burning hatred of truth, justice, and the American
Way.” Right?
You’ve gotta be kidding me. Hur’s conclusion demonstrably,
irrefutably proves there is now a two-tier “justice” system in the (formerly)
United States. Which is unfortunate since, as our founders knew, equal justice
under the law is a prerequisite for a functioning democratic republic. It is a
must if citizens are to feel loyalty to their fellow man—and their nation.
God help
us all.
