Special counsel Robert Hur is not expected to charge anyone in connection with the mishandling of classified documents at two locations connected to President Joe Biden, two sources close to the investigation told CNN.

    Because… despite wasting all that time and taxpayer money (party of fiscal responsibility, folks,) NO EVIDENCE OF CRIMINAL ACTS WERE FOUND.

      Surprising literally no one. The sad part is I’m sure Trump and the rest will moan about two tiers of justice or how Robert Hur is secretly working for the Biden Administration.

        He’s Asian, so I’m sure they’re already cooking up something about him being a secret Chinese spy and Xi took care of it for him yesterday or something.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Hur and his team are compiling a detailed report on their year-long probe that is expected to be critical of Biden and his staff for the way they handled sensitive materials.

    Investigators on Hur’s team have told other Justice Department officials that they hope to have the report completed by the end of the year, but that timeline could slide.

    CNN previously reported charges appeared unlikely, according to sources familiar with investigators’ line of questioning, and that there has been no discernible grand jury activity.

    They have long drawn parallels between Hur’s investigation with that of special counsel Jack Smith, who earlier this year brought charges against the former president related to his own handling of classified documents after he left the White House.

    But key differences between the two probes abound, including the fact that the National Archives repeatedly tried and failed to get back documents in Trump’s possession.

    Biden’s attorneys, on the other hand, quickly notified the National Archives of the materials found in his possession.

      These are the most important points to remember when comparing Trump’s case to Bidens and can not be stressed enough.

        True, I still hope the report is scathingly critical of everyone who failed to protect these materials. Obviously a better system of tracking these items needs to be implemented.
