Where are you seeing that John Lausch specifically recommended Robert Hur to be the special counsel? In Garland's statement announcing Hur as special counsel, he said Lausch wasn't able to do it because he was personally leaving the DOJ. From what Garland said, Lausch recommended the appointment of a special counsel, but it was the DOJ who actually picked Hur and Garland who gave the stamp of approval:

It was reported thoroughly at the time and he was one of the names Lindsay Graham was floating as someone who should be special counsel.

It is similar to how Trump/Biden technically appoint Democratic/Republican members of the FEC and FCC or certain judges, but those personnel from other parties are specifically recommended by Republican/Democratic Senate leadership per tradition.

In your own link, Garland specifically mentions that this is not his preference:

As I have said before, I strongly believe that the normal processes of this Department can handle all investigations with integrity. But, under the regulations, the extraordinary circumstances here require the appointment of a Special Counsel for this matter.

Thanks for sharing that article, but I don't see any mentions of Lausch specifically recommending Richard Hur, whose name isn't even mentioned in the article.

Based on you linking a news article about Garland appointing him and saying, "Garland picked him" it seems like you did not know that.

Garland did pick him, that is just a fact. It was his prerogative to pick anyone he wanted and he picked Hur.

Me: Garland picked Hur
You: yeah but only because a Republican asked him to be nice and pick him

Doesn't matter why. Doesn't change the fact of who picked him, doesn’t change the conclusion, that either Garland agreed it was a good choice, or exhibited staggeringly bad judgment by making a poor choice. Nor is Hur's party affiliation alone enough to justify accusations of lying now that we don't like what he said in the report.

That's not my own link and you are misrepresenting Garland's statement that you quoted. He says he thinks a special counsel is unnecessary, not that Hur is a bad choice or a liar or someone whose conclusions can't be trusted or a partisan hack, or that he wants someone else etc. Those are quite different things. That quote simply does not support the accusations against Hur that I objected to.

Just reason about that quote for like...two seconds...if Garland thought Hur was a bad choice would he pick him.

Idk this seems like a basic reasoning error where, correct me if I'm wrong, you think explaining the reasons why someone did X contradicts the point that they did X.

It doesn't. They still did X. Even if they had very good reasons and no practical alternative they still did it. Or even if, as in this case, they apparently had very stupid reasons and a wealth of alternatives. They still did X.

:shrug: this theory that Garland is such a rope-a-dope the Republicans bamboozled him into appointing a dishonest partisan hack who would turn the investigation into a witch hunt to slander the president's competence and bring down his administration doesn't make much sense to me. If true, then Garland's resignation should have gone to Biden's desk along with the damning report. Or Biden should have demanded Garland resign one femtosecond after he read a special counsel report that concluded with lies. Like that is a colossal incomprehensible blunder, if there's any truth to it Garland should be shitcanned yesterday, or it reflects on Biden's poor leadership and competence anyway.

Lindsay Graham is the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The special counsel regulations require the AG to consult with the Assistant AG for Administration, acting USDA, and House/Senate Judiciary committees to select the counsel from outside the agency. John Lausch was the acting USDA at the time.

Dick Durbin, Lindsay Graham, John Lausch, Jolene Ann Lauria, and their staff would be the people putting together the initial lists of recommendations for appointing Special Counsel right now.

People can have multiple reasons for doing something.

It is true that Garland apparently thought Hur was honest and trustworthy and impartial when he chose him. (Or it better be, if not see my comment above that it's severe dereliction of duty and if this theory is correct Biden is incompetent for not shitcanning Garland).

It may also be true that Garland chose Hur specifically out of all the people he trusted to be honest and impartial, because Lindsay Graham or whoever asked for him by name. That doesn't contradict the previous paragraph.

Again this seems like a reasoning error, like you think naming an additional factor in the decision disproves the relevant factor I mentioned that Garland wouldn't choose someone he didn't trust to be honest. It doesn't disprove that.

The size of the report is very unusual, but a special counsel investigating the President is also fairly unusual. That can be explained.

There was some editorializing that is definitely against DOJ guidelines and is not super professional in a general legal setting, but those don't necessarily indicate a level of bias that would rise to a problem in court. Prosecutors and investigators are supposed to technically be biased against the people they are investigating.

Bill Barr's various actions (especially Barr's summary of the Mueller report that turned out to be way out of context and misleading) were definitely much more intentionally misleading as far as we know right now.

Hur is almost certainly going to testify before congress and we'll know more. Right now we just have his phrasing and 8 words of a quote to go off of.

Based on what is public, there isn't any way to definitively prove he was not sufficiently impartial from a legal perspective. The editorializing and non-sequiturs are definitely not normal for these reports, but they were also about 6 sentences out of 400 pages (although those are obviously the only sentences anyone is talking about).

Making any definitive statement on his characterization or impartiality in either direction right now isn't really possible based on what little we have to go on.

It's also important to remember that there were major political pressures from both sides that lead to Hur being appointed and on Hur himself while writing the report.

It is similar to Comey in 2016. I don't think Comey was biased against Hillary in particular, but his report included a lot of editorializing that broke FBI and DOJ policy by characterizing Clinton's behavior as "careless" or "suspicious" and insinuating she was nervous/paranoid. Those had real impacts, but were the result of Comey trying to thread a political needle of being harsh and also dealing with the request to issue a report before the election and acknowledge that Hillary hadn't done anything illegal.

Comey himself has come out and said that was what he was doing and he regrets it. It is entirely possible that Hur's editorializing is a similar situation and not specifically indicative of malice against Biden in particular. He could also be trying to thread the same political pressures in a very unique situation.

Picking George W Bush's FBI chief because it's nice to reach across the aisle was a colossal earthshatteringly incompetent decision though (not unusual for the Obama presidency unfortunately). Yet it's also true that Obama (apparently) thought Comey was impartial and above partisan politics when he chose him. He didn't choose Comey just to make Republicans like him.
It's just that by the time the catastrophic consequences of this stupid-rear end decision became clear it was too late to do anything. Obama was term-limited out and no one could fire him anyway.

Garland thought that Hur was trustworthy enough when he appointed him, obviously, because appointing trustworthy people to lead investigations is literally his job. He didnt appoint just anyone Lindsay Graham wanted (if Graham had said "appoint Trump" would Garland do it, obviously not.) If it's true that Garland learned nothing and made the exact same blunder like the Comey pick and accidentally appointed someone who would bow to partisan pressure and release a poor quality or dishonest report to "thread the needle", he can resign or be fired, and if he isn't then Biden is still an incompetent leader but for a slightly different reason I guess.

Right. Garland obviously did. Nobody is arguing that he didn't.

I'm just saying to the person who said it was an obvious hitjob or intentionally politically damaging that there isn't really enough information to say that. Even if they had no bias at all, but were trying to thread a political needle like Comey that could be a situation where no malicious bias was involved, but the end result could be similar to Comey where it was intended to provide "balance" and went farther than intended. DOJ policy is to leave editorializing of any kind like that out, so even if he witnessed Biden having an out and out mental breakdown in the interview, the decision to include his commentary just to be as incredibly detailed in his thinking was still a decision that could hurt Biden without requiring him to have any malice intent.

There's nobody without psychic powers who can definitively say why he included his editorializing right now based on what is public.

There is of course a third possibility:

Biden did it but is not mentally competent enough to meet the mens rea for the crime being investigated, and the report is impartially noting the actual reason he is not being charged.

The question isn't about the conclusion he reached. It was the inclusion of editorializing commentary. You can explicitly argue those points, but DOJ policy and legal professionalism, says that you can't use prejudicial descriptions of suspects you are not charging with a crime unless you can prove it medically or definitively. The choice to get colorful with descriptions and non-sequiturs is the choice that nobody can know without reading his mind.

During my brief time in criminal law, a DA would get reamed out for releasing anything like that in just a regular nolle pros filing. The DOJ policy is even more strict and codified beyond just professionalism.

VitalSigns

What if that's just the reason though.

If you aren't charging a child with a crime it's not editorializing to note that the little child's mind isn't yet competent of a criminal state of mind, if it's the truth.

Like, Bidens defense would get the transcripts of those interviews. If you charged him the defense could point to them and say "See Pee-Paw doesn't remember when he was vice president, he can't have criminal intent if he believed he was still VP" and get a guaranteed acquittal. Since hiding the exculpatory interviews from his defense would be illegal, then it would be malpractice to recommend charges. If that's why the decision was made not to charge him then it's just a fact. Like is Hur supposed to lie or omit and cover up why Biden isn't being charged. If so, why? To avoid embarrassing the administration? To keep a state secret about the president's declining faculties? That's not Hur's job.

If they wanted that they should have picked a Democrat.

You aren't excluding that information. I don't think you are familiar with what kind of language we are talking about here. You can include all of the specifics. It is the prejudicial language, speculation, or medical diagnoses that you are 100% not supposed to use. You would get in serious trouble for releasing statements like that in a decision not to prosecute at the state level and it isn't even codified. It is explicitly codified as a violation at the DOJ.

The NYT has a long article on the medical side of it.

Part of the reason is that it isn't a medical diagnosis and it leads to people making statements like this:

This is the freep thread. Please consider taking your argument to a Wendy's.

Because this is the freep thread, I'm gonna post some freep. Here's Biden, Democrats Give Israel 45 Days to Submit Human Rights Report posted by freeper ChicagoConservative27

As you may recall, one human rights court or another looked at what Israel was doing to Gaza and said "hey that kinda looks like a genocide, stop doing things that look like genocide while we decide if it's really a genocide or not." America is therefore doing the minimum amount it possibly can to make it look like we're going along with international accord.

the article posted:

The memorandum, announced by the White House, theoretically applies to any country that receives weapons from the United States and is actively involved in armed conflict. But the White House all but admitted Friday that it was targeted at Israel.

Freep is displeased.

By virtue of violence and agony of his people, YWHW walks Judea once again, AND the enemies of Israel, including Biden , Blinken, Jake Sullivan and Obama are as good as dead , or in their own hells for the rest of their lives. Gaza belongs to Israel, its land more sacred because of the blood and agony of Oct 7 , secured by the hand of YWHW as of old.Biden now stands against YWHW.Not a good place to be.IMHO Joe is done for.

This idiot is bothering me special today. I know it was mentioned in this thread already, but apparently no one on Free Republic, the fervently Christian home of true Christians, who spend their entire lives being Christian and studying their religion and everything related to it, knows the Tetragrammaton. It's probably not even something Candor7 is all that familiar with! As far as I can see, he only started doing it this year, though he's been around for a while, so he's the superficial sort of believer who doesn't know the very most simple facts about the history of his religion: he only just came across it.

And he's not alone. The rest of Freep isn't educated on this enough to call him out on it. Not a one of these people, who would all swear that they be happy to die if necessary to replace the current government with a theocracy based on this faith can even notice when someone is doing the equivalent of setting the cross symbol up sideways.

Didn’t I specifically state that corn beef thing is NOT Irish? but that’s what Irish-Americans came up with and want us all to think.

(Of course the food is my opinion. That should be understood.)

The very first professional baseball game I ever went to was the Expos vs....I wanna say the Phillies back in the early 80s at Olympic Stadium. My dad's firm had gotten comped box seats, and there was a generous spread of higher end cocktail snacks and whatnot, which for all I knew at the time was sports food. Several years later, sitting in the bleachers at Fenway, I discovered my mistake.

If I may, and in the spirit of Andrew Breitbart’s politics being downstream from culture…

…whether she or the left like it or not, Taylor Swift embodies American Individualism and Exceptionalism:

-she was raised a Christian by her undivorced parents

-she didn’t got to private border schools; she has a combo private and public school education

-she wasn’t an immediate hit. She had rejections

-she started out in country music, bucking the trend of being a dopey pop slut

-she writes and performs her own material and instruments

-she’s not writing smutty or blatantly anti-American songs

-she’s got a higher net worth than Rush did - HT Gary from Dayton: “Swift is wealthier than most countries of the world.”

-she’s not on TMZ smashing a car windshield with a baseball bad

-no government handouts, no abrogation of others’ rights

If we put this resume in front of any leftists, they’d writhe and protest and cheapen and slander. Alternatively, any traditional person would consider her an American Success Story.

She’s not Dolly Parton (yet..), but she’s light years ahead of Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, and those has-beens Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera and the Uglyness Formerly Known As Madonna.

Taylor Swift is not on my playlist, I know one of her songs (Shake It Off, which is kinda catchy though she wrote the lyrics and not the melody), and her politics are not in my ballpark.

That said, the whole “the right hates TSwift” saga is a MSM ginned-up controversy. It’s likely devised to keep the masses hypnotized from her underlying uniquely American success.

Trump’s tweet is sort of an attempt to sort all this out. Had he consulted with us, the tweet would be better. Alas, he’s not on FR (unless he’s Laz).

It would behoove Deplorables to not take the bait and go on the offensive, like reclaiming the rainbow for God: chat about all the positive, AMERICAN qualities Ms Swift brings to the world.

Every time a Taylor Swift song is streamed, a few moments are taken off Klaus Schwab’s life, the lights flicker at a BRICS meeting, and a kitten is born.

While you're usually spot on Taylor is a hard-corps Leftist Democrat, making a song a few years ago supporting the glomo-homo agenda with a vengeance. Sometimes money, fame and being surrounded with people kissing your rear end changes a person.

And that this Super Bowl has been subjugated to her tenuous relationship to a player (who's own ex was of different race but approves to get in on the money wagon) makes me pine for the Budweiser Clydesdales whom we know have no agenda other than a nice feed bag.

To be fair, that’s not a smutty or blatantly anti-American song. Yes, it’s certainly not Deplorable and the Founders likely wouldn’t play it. But it’s not Rage Against The Machine or Frankie Goes to Hollywood. (If forced to make a pick, I’d rather listen to Right Said Fred.) Nor is she gonna be executed for it by her government.

Swift has made the equivalent of the Independent State of Samoa’s GDP by Shutting Up and Singing/generally steering clear of polarizing issues. Even Dolly Parton has made some (very few) statements that are polarizing, but they are few and far between.

IF she gets too full of herself and thinks she’s become a policy wonk, her fanbase will go on to something else. THEN she’ll be on TMZ with the bat.

FWIW, I’ll be watching on Nickelodeon along with the little DoodleBobs. Patrick is a better color guy anyway.

the "white rainbow" is a thing that happened in Israel today, according to another freep thread that I did not read because it sounded loving dumb

My faith in GOOD over EVIL has been restored.

Not that San Francisco is evil or
that Kansas City is good.........

BUT IN MY MIND...THAT’S WHAT THIS MEANS.

Along with the WHITE rainbow, suddenly I am hopeful about our future.

NUTS, isn’t it.

I have to laugh at the fact that so many NFL fanatic freepers are absolutely sure that the election was rigged (correctly), but are certain the NFL is not rigged.

Ugh, what can I say about this:

-just when I thought a halftime show couldn’t get any blacker, they prove me wrong again. What a contrast to the almost monolithic white audience in the stands.

-for all the talk of white privilege, the only privilege I saw on display were all the spoiled pop stars in the private booths
, including Taylor Swift and her entourage, and the modern Rasputin, Jack Dorsey, who the TV heads didn’t explicitly call out IIRC.

-Kelce has to be the biggest million-dollar meathead on the face of the earth. Anyone else who acted like he did postgame in virtually any other scenario would be told to pipe down, lay off the booze or be shown the door. But since he’s one of the chosen ones, it’s all good.

-Now it’s time for Swift and Kelce to announce “don’t forget to vote for the Democrats this November. After all, you want to be on the winning team, right?”

I bet the NFL regrets ending sudden death overtime after the Chiefs won in 2021.

Who?

Does he work in a theater showing people where the empty seats are? When the announcers said not to miss the half time show, I decided to miss it. I am very certain that I missed nothing.

People love to meme about Musk being the most divorced man ever but he has nothing on Freepers

Like there's literally a guy whose username is something about banning child support payments and his sig is whining about child support payments and that's basically all he posts about in every thread
