The Car-a-Lago Cover-up

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s appointment of Special Counsel Robert Hur, a former Trump appointee, to investigate Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified documents found at an old office, his home and even in his garage, was an attempt to prove that the Department of Justice has not been politicized. 

But now more and more reasonable people are concluding that the appointment is in fact additional evidence of a massive cover-up.

As a former top official in the Justice Department, Hur has a disturbing history of overlooking Deep State malfeasance in the Russia collusion hoax. So, the fact that Donald Trump appointed Hur to another position is meaningless. 

But as soon as Garland appointed a special counsel, everyone in the Biden Administration conveniently clammed up and refused to answer any questions about the classified documents. 

All White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre will say in response to questions about Biden’s classified documents is, “I refer you to the Department of Justice.” And, of course, the Department of Justice won’t comment on an ongoing investigation.

Meanwhile, members of Congress are demanding a “risk assessment” regarding the national security risks created by Joe Biden having classified documents scattered all over the place. 

The Senate Intelligence Committee thought it was going to get some answers yesterday at a briefing with Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines. But she refused to answer any questions about the documents, saying the special counsel would have to authorize it first.

Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee was furious. After the briefing, he told reporters:

“We don’t want to get into a question of threats at this point. But . . . it is our job to make sure that the security of our country is protected, and that the intelligence that our country depends upon is not compromised. The notion that we have to wait until a special prosecutor blesses the intelligence committee’s oversight will not stand.”

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) added, “I’m prepared to refuse consent or to fast track any nominee for any department or agency . . . to impose consequences on the administration until they provide these documents.”
