Special Prosecutor Robert Hur, who investigated Joe Biden's secure documents foibles following his Vice-presidency, testified in Congress recently.
"My task was to determine whether the president retained or disclosed national defense information 'willfully'. That means knowingly and with the intent to do something the law forbids."
While stating that Biden had "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice-presidency when he was a private citizen," Hur assessed that a jury would probably view him as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" and thus would be unable to establish his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

So, special prosecutors don't just address the facts and the law and make a determination, they do so based upon whether or not they think they can "win" the case? WTF?
Basically, this idiot says two things: Biden broke the law and I don't think we would win the case, so he is "off the hook." And I thought the decision as to whether to prosecute was in the hands of Hur's boss, the Attorney-General. Silly me.
Hur complicated his "case" by saying "I'm not here to speak about what may or may not happen in the future." How that is consistent with "Hur assessed that a jury would probably view him as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" and thus would be unable to establish his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt" is also beyond me.
This guy was clearly not up to the job, unless the job was different from the one he was charged to do.
