Special Counsel Hur Arranged His Retirement [View all]

WTF does that mean that Hur arranged his retirement one day before he is scheduled to testify before a Magat House committee.

Hur previously stated that he planned to resign on the 15th. Who did he arrange his early retirement with, Merrick Garland?

Now Hur is a private citizen and is not constrained or bound by DOJ policies when he gives his testimony today.

I swear that when Garland was confirmed and when he said that he would not be partisan he was only speaking to Magats.

Hur is bringing a Magat attorney with him to the hearing to make sure that he doesn't perjure himself when he bashes President Biden.

What Garland is allowing his other special counsel, Weiss, do is also BS. That's fodder for another thread.
