A quick review indicates the finger actually was wagged in July. But on October 28, Comey sent his supplemental letter to Congress. The election was November 8.

Despite the fact that Hur acknowledges Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.
DOUBLE STANDARD.

This is truly a sad state for America with a President who is clearly unfit for office.

I'll say this: it speaks volumes about President Biden’s innocence that even a highly partisan operative like Hur couldn’t find any wrongdoing.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo ... e-biden-5/Statement from President Joe Biden
The Special Counsel released today its findings about its look into my handling of classified documents. I was pleased to see they reached the conclusion I believed all along they would reach – that there would be no charges brought in this case and the matter is now closed.
This was an exhaustive investigation going back more than 40 years, even into the 1970s when I was a young Senator. I cooperated completely, threw up no roadblocks, and sought no delays. In fact, I was so determined to give the Special Counsel what they needed that I went forward with five hours of in-person interviews over two days on October 8th and 9th of last year, even though Israel had just been attacked on October 7th and I was in the middle of handling an international crisis. I just believed that’s what I owed the American people so they could know no charges would be brought and the matter closed.
Over my career in public service, I have always worked to protect America’s security. I take these issues seriously and no one has ever questioned that.

Yes Elise, because not being able to remember a date is worth 15 years hard time. Even if two of those were NOT clearly jokes.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 4:03 pm https://twitter.com/EliseStefanik/statu ... 09582?s=20Elise Stefanik @EliseStefanik wrote: Democrats and their stenographers in the mainstream media may try to look the other way and brush this under the rug, but it is so glaringly obvious to the American people.

President Biden needs to keep going on the road and showing voters his command of the issues. An administration is far more than the president, but if Biden doesn't hand the reins to Kamala, he needs to keep showing up and fighting.
