AG Merrick Garland appoints special counsel to investigate Biden docs
Robert Hur, the former Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Maryland, will lead the investigation, taking over from the top Justice Department prosecutor in Chicago, John Lausch, who was earlier assigned by the department to investigate the matter and who recommended to Garland last week that a special counsel be appointed. Hur is to begin his work soon.
“The extraordinary circumstances here require the appointment of a special counsel for this matter,” Garland said, adding that Hur is authorized to investigate whether any person or entity violated the law.
President Joe Biden has acknowledged that a document with classified markings from his time as vice president was found in his “personal library” at his home in Wilmington, Delaware, along with other documents found in his garage.

The Special Counsel is just to give the DOJ some cover. He won't find anything or recommend prosecution. He is there to exonerate Biden.
Personally, I don't really give a rat's tail. All presidents, vice presidents and other officials keep classified documents when they leave office and it is rarely ever prosecuted. It is a law that is used only for revenge and retribution.
Hillary had government records on her email server. Hillary claimed some of those records were her personal records. She, not the FBI or a courtroom judge, decided which of those records were the government's and which were hers. SHE, and no one else, chose which records to delete off her server. There was no grand jury. No FBI raid. No lawsuit filed. The fact is, Democrats concocted this classified records story to get Trump. And guess what? Biden got caught up in it. No one cared about this crap before and that is why Hillary wasn't prosecuted.
Now, explain to me why Hillary could decide for herself which of her emails were hers and which were government business, yet Trump cannot do the same thing with documents he kept? And remember, it was not just Hillary, the FBI allowed Hillary's close friends and attorney's to scrub their laptops before they turned them over too.
Emails are just digital documents. But emails are far easier to steal because a server on the internet can be hacked from anywhere remotely. At least Biden's garage requires someone to be there physically.
As James Comey said, "no prosecutor would choose to prosecute this case".
The whole thing is stupid. Clearly Biden took the documents when he left the White House in 2017. Maybe he doesn't remember them now, but he had to know about them then. But he did not turn them over then so the fact that he forgot about them now is irrelevant. The fact that he is cooperating now, after the DOJ made a federal case out of Trump's documents, is meaningless. Biden did exactly what Trump did, and so did Hillary. Hillary was not charged with obstruction like Trump even though she deleted 33,000 emails!
The DOJ should get rid of the special counsels and the investigations and just admit this is an issue that has never been prosecuted before and it makes no sense to prosecute it now. Let congress deal with it. We need to stop changing the laws and standards just to get Trump.
