Special Counsel Robert Hur was raked over the coals after he concluded his investigation into President Joe Biden. The then-vice president under Barack Obama had left classified materials in numerous locations, the most egregious of which were the piles in his garage at his home in Delaware.
It wasn’t a secret either; he was telling his ghostwriter about the files on tape. Most related to the Afghanistan War, where Obama rejected Biden’s counter-terror approach, opting for a counterinsurgency route, which led to 30,000 more troops being deployed to the country in 2009. Biden felt Obama was wrong. I’m not saying Obama was right, but Joe is the undisputed leader in being wrong on foreign policy matters. Hur interviewed the former president, where his mental health decline was on display. Some of the audio tapes were leaked to Axios, where, yes, Joe Biden had trouble remembering when his son, Beau, died.
🚨NEW — Partial audio of the Robert Hur interview with then-President Joe Biden has just been released.

It's BRUTAL.
He clearly had no idea what was going on — or when things had happened.
This was a scandal — The Democrats & the media covered it up. pic.twitter.com/d7m8co3M1w

This brain fart was included in his report, per department policy. Hur had to explain to his boss, Merrick Garland, of any mitigating circumstances that could arise should charges be filed and a trial ensue. Joe, embodying a grandfather-like figure with a poor memory, came up. No charges were filed, but Democrats saw the ghosts of James Comey and Hillary Clinton. It was still a devastating blow in the political arena—Biden was already fighting off reports that he was mentally cooked. The Left wasted no time attacking Hur. Here are some of them:

The leaked audio entirely vindicates Robert Hur & further demolishes the credibility of people who were insisting Biden was capable of serving as president *until 2029:* pic.twitter.com/jotS6soe4h

Hur testified before Congress, stressing that he didn’t exonerate the president and doubled down on his assessment that Joe Biden was virtually brain-fried. One of the main attacks was that Hur was a Republican. So? He was credible, which is why, at his hearing, no Democrat could land a punch, and this was forgotten within days. There’s a reason why these tapes were never made public until now. It confirms everything we’ve known about Joe Biden’s mental state and obliterates the con job the Democrat-media complex ran for years.
ROBERT HUR WAS TELLING THE TRUTH.

Hur is finally vindicated, and many people owe him an apology.
