Democrats have decided to convene a firing squad, so naturally they formed a circle. In their rush to shore up that doddering old man in the White House, they decided on a scorched earth attack on the Special Counsel, Robert Hur. That made as much sense as placing a milk bucket under a bull. Hur has now volunteered to testify before the House committees investigating the need to impeach Joe Biden. This is known as an unforced error.
It was bad enough that Hur decided not to charge Biden with any crimes because his chimney has a few bricks missing, it is another thing to make him testify on the particulars of his report. Republicans are just waiting for the chance to question Hur. Biden did not do himself any favors when he lied about Hur bringing up the subject of Beau’s death. (No, he did not die in Iraq) Biden himself brought up Beau.
In his report, Hur admitted that Biden broke the law by stealing classified documents. Republicans are probably fighting among themselves to determine who will get Hur to admit that Biden lacks the mental capability to understand what a low life he has become. When you are running for reelection, having your mental deficiency revealed is probably not a good thing. How much would you be willing to pay to be there in person?
And while House Republicans may not yet be “pouncing” again, now they’re “salivating”:
Special counsel Robert Hur is in final talks to publicly testify before Congress in early March about his report on President Biden‘s handling of classified documents, a GOP aide tells Axios.
Why it matters: House Republicans are salivating about the chance to ask Hur about Biden’s fitness for office.

I may give Thompson a pass on this one, although I again wonder whether Axios has ever described Democrats as “salivating” over their own House investigations. House Republicans clearly want to have this debate in the open now that Hur has revealed that Biden wears no cognitive clothes. Not only did Hur finally expose Biden, Biden then exposed himself in a disastrously incompetent display at the presser intended to rebut Hur. And as Karen just wrote, media outlets are now poking wide holes in Biden’s rebuttals. When you’ve lost NBC …
And worth noting about that, too: Biden apparently isn’t “with it” enough to recall what happened in the Hur interview. The White House climbed out on a limb just to have Biden saw it off:
- The report’s claim infuriated Joe Biden, telling reporters hours after the report was released: “How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
- NBC News reported Wednesday that during Hur’s interviews: “It was the president, not Hur or his team, who first introduced Beau Biden’s death.” Axios has not been able to independently verify the report.
- The White House hasn’t said whether Biden misremembered his son’s death by “several years,” as Hur wrote. Asked whether that part of Hur’s report was inaccurate, a White House spokesperson did not respond.
Given this situation, however, Congress has no choice but to investigate Biden’s competency and to ask Hur about his inclusion of it in the report. If a president has become incompetent to hold office, Congress has the constitutional responsibility to resolve it. They cannot just ignore a report from the Department of Justice that concludes that a sitting president is not competent enough to be prosecuted for willful violations of felony statutes, after all.
