No word at all from the guy investigating Biden’s possession of classified documents. From Jonathan Turley at jonathanturley.org:
Below is my column in the Messenger on the ongoing (but still largely unknown) efforts of Special Counsel Robert Hur. In fairness, Hur could be doing what Jack Smith and his predecessors failed to do: run a leakless investigation. However, for the roughly half of Americans who view the Trump impeachment as “politically motivated,” the lack of any indication of an equally aggressive investigation is concerning. People should not view this as a competition between “our” and “their” special counsels. However, the public wants to see a balance of effort. Those citizens are asking if you have seen this man because they want their special counsel back.
Here is the column:
With the arraignment of Donald Trump in Miami, Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith is pushing forward with a historic criminal prosecution that could result in a terminal prison sentence for the 76-year-old former president and, at least for now, the leading Republican candidate in the 2024 election.
This also is the six-month anniversary of the appointment of another special counsel … Robert Hur. In the company of better-known appointees like Robert Mueller, John Durham and Smith, Hur is the prosecutorial version of the missing Beatle. He was appointed on Jan. 12 and then seemingly vanished.
Unlike the apparent leaks and speculation about the Smith investigation or the breathless accounts of Trump grand jury testimony, Hur’s investigation of classified documents allegedly found to be improperly in Biden’s possession appears to have all but disappeared.
The lack of leaks is, in one sense, a good thing; prosecutors should do their work without public comment. Moreover, Hur is well short of the multiyear investigations of special counsels Robert Mueller or John Durham. However, even with the Durham investigation, there still were indicators of action, from subpoenas confirmed by recipients to grand jury appearances.
