Biden Special Counsel Hasn’t Even Started Yet

RedState reported, Joe Biden’s latest scandal took another major turn on Saturday after a DOJ-led search of his Delaware home revealed even more illegally possessed classified documents. But while things have undoubtedly escalated, it’s now being reported that Robert Hur, the special counsel appointed to investigate the president, hasn’t even taken over the investigation yet.

Instead, John Lausch, U.S. attorney, managed the search. I’m honestly at a loss as to how this could be.

NEW: Robert Hur, Special Counsel to President Biden, has not yet started. I have been told that John Lausch, the US Atty for America, was responsible for overseeing the FBI search of President Biden’s residence. DOJ spox tells me,”We expect Rob Hur to be on board shortly.” https://t.co/80VjSYsHyM

Merrick Garland claims that Hur’s appointment was not taken lightly and was in place by the time of the official announcement on January 12, 2023. Yet, here we are, with more documents being found, including some from Biden’s time in the US Senate, and the special counsel is completely missing in action.

What sense does this make? What was the point of bringing Hur on board if he wasn’t ready to take charge of what was obviously a very fluid, ongoing situation? Right now, with documents from the president’s senatorial days being found, there’s serious evidence of criminal intent on the table. This is when the special counsel is required most. At least theoretically, this is due to the apparent separation from the wider, political-led DOJ.

It should not take over ten days for Hur to at least take operational control, even if he’s dictating and overseeing what’s happening until he finishes assembling his team. That he hasn’t done so raises some serious red flags. How serious is this special counsel? Did Hur intend to conduct a full investigation? Or was he simply brought in to cover the DOJ’s efforts to speed up the process?

I’ve said since the beginning that I believe the special counsel exists simply as a rubber stamp for Biden’s exoneration. It gives Garland an appearance of being absent while the outcome is already decided. Now, hearing that Hur is sitting on the sidelines as the case escalates, I’m more convinced of that than ever.

The DOJ isn’t serious about handling Biden’s criminality with impartiality and seriousness. They want it to end. The president’s inability to release classified information about his senatorial career has put a wrench in the plan.
