The DC Swamp Kabuki Theater related to the “discovery” of not one, but two “batches” of classified documents at Biden-associated locations continued Thursday, as Attorney General Merrick Garland announced at a live press conference that he has appointed federal prosecutor Robert Hur to serve as Special Counsel to investigate the matter.
Here’s an excerpt from the CNBC story:
Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday said he had appointed former federal prosecutor Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate the discovery of classified government records at the private home and office of President Joe Biden.
Garland’s announcement came hours after Biden and his lawyer said that a second batch of classified documents recently had been found in a garage in the president’s private home in Wilmington, Delaware.
A first batch of classified documents had been found on Nov. 2 by lawyers for the president in an office in a Washington think tank that Biden had used while a private citizen
Garland previously had assigned John Lausch, the U.S. Attorney for Chicago, to handle the inquiry after the first batch of records was discovered.
“This is not a decision [Garland] made lightly,” a senior Department of Justice official told NBC News, referring to Hur’s appointment.
“The regulations could not be more clear that based on the facts that made the US attorney launch his initial investigation, an appointment of a special counsel is required,” the official said.

A couple of interesting side notes in Hur’s Bio:
He once clerked for conservative Chief Justice William Rehnquist;
In 2017, he was appointed to serve as U.S. Attorney in the Maryland district by President Donald Trump;
On the downside, he also once served as special assistant and counsel to Christopher A. Wray, who was then the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Justice Department's Criminal Division.
Even considering his time working for the utterly corrupt and worthless Wray, it seems Mr. Hur is not another standard-issue leftwing thug like Jack Smith, who Garland appointed to be Special Counsel in the case about Trump and his classified document problem.
The more dance steps that are choreographed in this episode of DC Swamp Kabuki Theater, the more this is reminding me of the whole Watergate scam.
Oh, my.
That is all.
Hey Slo Jo, tick-tock, tick-tock.
So, either this will turn out to be a nothing burger, or the deep state planted these documents and are now ready to use them to make Slo Joe go away, either soon, or when his first term is up.
