Former special counsel Robert Hur revealed in Capitol Hill testimony that Biden 'willfully' retained classified materials as a private citizen and gave them to Mark Zwonitzer - the ghost writer of his $8 million book - who later tried to destroy them.
--

'We identified evidence that the President willfully retained classified materials after the end of his vice presidency, when he was a private citizen,' Hur said during the high-stakes hearing.

Hur said that included in the evidence was a recorded conversation between Biden and his ghost writer Zwonitzer in which the president stated that he had just 'found all the classified stuff downstairs.''

After leaving the vice presidency, Biden and now-First Lady Jill signed a multi-book deal with Flatiron Books valued at $8 million, according to Publishers Weekly.

The first book, 'Promise Me, Dad,' a memoir that centers on when his son Beau died and he decided not to run for president in 2015, briefly topped the best sellers list.

Hur shockingly revealed that the ghost writer tried to hide evidence after he was named special counsel in the case.

'What did that ghostwriter do with the information Joe Biden shared with him on his laptop, what did he do after you were named special counsel?' House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan asked the former special counsel.

'He slid those files into the recycle bin on his computer,' Hur said.

I’d be willing to bet you could have a case against every living former president for retention of classified documents after leaving office. Before it was probably just one of those understood things that former presidents were able to do. Now it’s been weaponized against trump and retaliatory against Biden. It’s such a fricking sham

I saw Nadler on CNN today while getting my car washed. He claimed that Trump "declassified docs leaving the White House, but didn't tell anyone."

He's full of shite and dem lies for talking points.

Classified documents were found...

At the Penn Biden Center? "That's correct."

In President Biden's garage? "Yes."

And in his basement den? "Yes."

And his main floor office? "Correct."

And his third floor den? "Correct."

At the University of Delaware? "Correct."

And at the Biden Institute? "Correct."

Brilliant move. Like hiding your wallet in the front of your shoe at the beach.

Selective prosecution of crimes is now a hallmark of our once great republic.

Sad.

Anyone notice the color of Hur's tie? I'm just curious.

The exact same thing happened with Hillary and her server data. She gave it to her attorneys for them to remove her personal emails (Chelsea's wedding stuff and Hillary's yoga plans ). Comey later revealed that that data included classified information and NOTHING HAPPENED.

2 tiered justive system.

Hur found all of this out and yet did nothing. Reason number 102346467 why appointing special prosecutors is useless

Is this a threat to democracy?

We need a district attorney in a red county to bring charges against Joe Biden. The Democrats have taken the genie out of the bottle, so fight fire with fire.

Biden left the White House in 2017 never expecting to set foot in it again. That's why he was both so careless and so avaricious in everything he did between 2017 and 2019. His candidacy in 2019 was a trigger wire to entrap Trump in baseless election interference complaints, and somehow Biden was on top of the dogpile when Covid commenced, effectively giving him the nomination and, as the only alternative to Trump, the presidency.

At this point, what difference does it make?

This jackhole had a chance to do the right thing. And he punted. So setting the record straight now is pointless. Just another government wussy sucking up tax dollars.

F him and the whole system.
