Victor Davis Hanson’s Twitter statement on Special Counsel Hur’s report:<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Biden is Too Demented to Be Found Guilty of Crimes, \u00a0But Not Too Demented to Be President?<\/span> Special Counsel Robert Hur just found Joe Biden was guilty of violating national security laws in removing classified documents\u2014 after examining then Senator and Vice President Biden\u2019s some 15-year habit of removing classified files to his offices and residences, where they were stored in unsecured fashion.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Period. End of story.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hur then as a disinterested Special Counsel, not a local county prosecutor on a limited budget, logically would have indicted and prosecuted Biden. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It really is a jury\u2019s decision to determine whether Biden was guilty or innocent, or whether he is pardoned\/exempted by reason of dementia. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is not the role of Hur, as a prosecutor and advocate for the state, to imagine how difficult his case might be to prove someone so incapacitated like Biden was guilty, as Hur\u2019s own research and investigations had otherwise indicated that he was.) Is mindset, intention, or mental status a normal consideration of violations of national security laws, or is it the act itself?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So we are back to the James Comey defense: Hillary was guilty but in Lord and Savior Comey\u2019s judgement no jury would likely convict a presidential candidate of such stature of violating national security laws. (NB: \u00a0After her reprieve, Hillary immediately claimed such extenuating circumstances were proof of her innocence! And Biden in a nanosecond likewise claimed he is now exonerated too, as was the administration\u2019s plan all along). <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Finally note the following:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1) The Left, Hur, and others believe that someone who has lost his faculties and who would not be allowed to drive a semi-truck, teach a class, diagnose a patient, argue a case, wire a house, or cook a hamburger is nevertheless fit enough to run the United States of America.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2) Note this same old\/same old shocking but predictable asymmetry. Trump is a mere four years younger than Biden. The left fixated on the fact that he recently confused Nikki Hayley with Nancy Pelosi. Are we then to expect Jack Smith to follow the precedent of his fellow special counsel Hur, who was likewise appointed by Biden administration AG Merrick Garland and thus to conclude that although Trump violated the law by removing files, he seemed too confused to indict, given the likelihood of a sympathetic jury?<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3) Hur himself tried to preemptively defend himself from the obvious conclusion that he extended special considerations not to indict Biden in a manner Jack Smith did not to Trump. Yet he omits that there were key differences in the two cases: <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Biden had no putative right, as did Trump as President, to declassify files he took home. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago walled and surveilled estate was far more secure than Biden\u2019s rickety garage. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Biden had stored files for over a decade not less than two years. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Biden\u2019s attorneys came forward just days before Smith was appointed on November 18, 2022. So it was not altruism that prompted their confession after Biden\u2019s years of secretly hiding such illegality, but rather fear that Trump would soon be hounded for a \u201dcrime\u201d of which Biden was found out to be long guilty. So they went public to preempt that charge and falsely claim civic virtue. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is just more of a long, disgusting pattern of biased applications of the law: Jan 6 vs 2020 May to October deadlier and more violent riots; election denialism of Trump versus Stacey Abrams\u2019s nonstop claims of being the real governor of Georgia; \u201cinsurrection\u201d called for in Trump\u2019s speech vs Kamala Harris\u2019s threats that the 2020 riots (\u201cprotests\u201d) would and should keep going; the Trump 2020 election gambit versus the 2016 Leftwing coordinated effort to leverage electors into renouncing their states\u2019 popular vote mandates. And so on. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
No Department of Justice in our history has ever done more to undermine Americans\u2019 confidence in the fair and equitable application of justice. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is not the America we grew up in.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
