Robert Hur is testifying about his investigation into President Joe Biden's mishandling of classified documents, and, of course, it turned into a circus since we all know that Donald Trump stored classified documents in the shitter at Mar-a-Lago. Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin took Hur to school to note the stark contrast between the two cases.
"With such a striking contrast, our colleagues have switched over from being impeachment investigators for constitutional high crimes and misdemeanors, which is how this whole thing started, to being amateur memory specialists, giving us their drive-by diagnoses of the President of the United States, whose soaring oratory, powerful historical analysis, and devastating extemporaneous repartee with even the most skilled ninja hecklers of the Freedom Caucus were on full display at the State of the Union address last week for the whole country to see," Raskin said.
"The desperate quest to invent an issue is a distraction from the 91 federal and state federal charges that Donald Trump faces now, his staggering civil court losses in New York now totaling more than a half a billion dollars, and his full-blown embrace and romance with authoritarian dictators and communist tyrants all over the world, from Viktor Orban in Hungary to Vladimir Putin in Russia, the former head of the KGB, to the communist dictator of North Korea," he continued.
"This, my friends, this is a memory test, but it's not a memory test for President Biden," he added. "It's a memory test for all of America."
He's not wrong. This is merely a distraction from Trump facing 91 felonies. When Biden first took office, Republicans wanted to impeach the newly minted President, but only because Trump was impeached -- twice. It's tit-for-tat politics.
