I'm not sure what to make of this. It could be a Democrat ploy to fool people into believing that the Justice Department is above politics and is treating Biden the same as Trump. (And planning to later clear Biden of any criminal acts, while indicting Trump. Or, this action could have been taken to pressure Biden into not running in 2024. I don't think that the Justice Department suddenly decided to operate on a non-political basis. What is good for the Democrat Party is not necessarily good for Joe Biden.

The same group of people that repeatedly tried to discredit the evidence of crimes by the Biden family throughout a Republican administration is not suddenly interested in fairly enforcing federal laws, regardless of political affiliation.

Special counsel named to probe classified records found at Biden’s private home and office

[*]Attorney General Merrick Garland said he appointed a special counsel to investigate the discovery of classified government records at the private home and office of President Joe Biden.
[*]Garland tapped Robert Hur to serve as special counsel. Garland previously had assigned John Lausch, the U.S. Attorney for Chicago, to handle the inquiry after the first batch of records were discovered in November.
[*]“This is not a decision [Garland] made lightly,” a senior Department of Justice official told NBC News.

Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday 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.

Hur is authorized “to investigate whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with this matter,” Garland said in a public statement he made on the appointment at the Department of Justice.Hur served as the U.S. Attorney for Maryland from 2018 through 2021, after being nominated for that post by then-President Donald Trump, a Republican.

Garland’s announcement, which cited “extraordinary circumstances,” came hours after Biden and his lawyer said that a second batch of classified documents recently had been found in a garage in the Democratic president’s private home in Wilmington, Delaware. 

That discovery was made on Dec. 20.A first batch of classified documents was 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 between 2017 and 2021, after serving as vice president in the Obama administration.

It is not known why lawyers for Biden waited more than one month to search for government records in other locations associated with the president.

The discovery of the first batch of classified records was only publicly reported on Monday by media outlets and later confirmed by the White House.

The White House has not answered why the discovery was not disclosed when it occurred, which was one week before the November midterm congressional elections.

The first discovery also occurred nearly three months after FBI agents raided the Florida residence of Trump, who is under criminal investigation for retaining thousands of government records, many of them classified, which were found during the raid.

Presidents and vice presidents are required, by law, to return government records to the National Records and Archives Administration when they leave office.

LOL to everyone who thinks the law is enforced...
