Johnson Lies That Report Found Biden "Broke The Law" - Joe.My.God.

Mediaite reports: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) claimed during a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday that Special Counsel Robert Hur found that President Joe Biden “broke the law, but he’s not going to be charged.” “We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter,” begins the report, which goes on to detail …

      so, in the same way that the muller report doesn’t say that “trump never broke the law”, the hur report doesn’t say that “biden never broke the law”

          If you keep reading you’ll see you’re making the same stretch that trump supporters made when they said “the Muller report absolves trump.”

          The next paragraphs read:

          Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.

          …

          However, for the reasons summarized below, we conclude that the evidence does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

          Then on page 219, they say unequivocally:

          Mr. Biden will likely present himself to the jury, as he did during his interview with our office, as a sympathetic, well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.

          So, hur does not say that biden didn’t break any laws, in fact there is evidence biden intentionally broke the laws, but they’re not charging him because they don’t think they can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he acted with malicious intent because hes senile!

          Having a poor memory doesn’t mean you didn’t break any laws…

          EDIT: If you read the report instead of that biased article you will see that there is a ton of evidence that biden was told many times to return the classified material and refused.
