    Well, that’s not great.

    Hur is Republican, but he doesn’t have anything really egregious in his past to suggest he’s a hardcore ideologue. But man does it sound like that report was constructed for political purposes. On the other hand, those are direct quotes, and lying about that would be a significantly worse act than trying to describe the president unkindly. And if he were a regular suspect, saying he’s a kindly old man with memory problems wouldn’t really be inappropriate, and would be relevant for whether he should be held culpable, so I guess it’s plausible Hur’s trying to be objective.

        Hur is a Republican. Garland picked him to pacify the Republicans. His opinion of Biden doesn’t mean anything to me.

              This whole thing is McGovern 2.0. Biden is self-destructing his own candidacy in spectacular fashion. It’s going to be a disaster in November if Democrats don’t do something drastic to turn things around.

        I don’t get what you’re trying to say here. Being appointed by Merrick Garland doesn’t make him not a Republican or definitely not a ideologue. Centrist Democrats love picking conservatives for positions because it will demonstrate how enlightened they are and definitely (100%, for sure) defuse any criticism that an acquittal was political.

          So the Biden administration is appointing fascist sympathizers to highly sensitive positions?

          If there’s a fascist at the table…
