BREAKING: Democratic star Congressman Adam Schiff obliterates MAGA hack Special Counsel Robert Hur during a public hearing for smearing President Biden in his classified documents report.

This is how you handle a right-wing hatchet man...

"You cannot tell me you are so naive as to think your words would not have created a political firestorm?" said Schiff. "You understood that didn't you, when you wrote those words, when you decided to include those words, when you decided to go beyond specific references to documents?"

"You understand how they would be manipulated by my colleagues here on the GOP side of the aisle and by President Trump. You understand that, did you not?" asked Schiff.

The Congressman was referring to the deeply inappropriate, defamatory, and baseless attacks on President Biden and his memory that Hur cooked up in his official report. Hur was transparently attempting to help Trump's 2024 campaign — and perhaps help himself move up within the Republican Party.

"You also understand DOJ policy that you are to take care not to prejudice the interests of the subject of an investigation, right?" Schiff asked Hur.

"That is generally one of the interests that DOJ policy requires that prosecutors respect," admitted Hur.

"And it was your obligation to follow that policy in this report, was it not?" asked Schiff.

"It was also my obligation to write a confidential report for the attorney general explaining completely my decision," said Hur, refusing to take responsibility for his actions.

"But what you did write was deeply prejudicial to the interests of the president," said Schiff. "You say it wasn't political and yet you must have understood. You must have understood the impact of your words. You must have understood the impact of your decision to go beyond the specifics of a particular document, to go to the very general, to your own personal prejudicial, subjective opinion of the president. One you knew would be amplified by his political opponent, one you knew would influence a political campaign. You had to understand that."

Struggling to defend himself in the face of Schiff's undeniable logic, Hur rambled a bit about the "rules," desperately trying to paint his actions as appropriate. Schiff was having none of it.

"What is in the rules Mr. Hur, what is in the rules, is you don't gratuitously do things to prejudice the subject of an investigation when you are declining to prosecute," said Schiff. "You don't gratuitously add language that you know will be useful in a political campaign."

"You were not born yesterday," Schiff went on. "You understood exactly what you were doing. It was a choice. You certainly didn't have to include that language. You could have said 'vis-à-vis the documents that were found in the university, the president did not recall..."

"There is nothing more common — you know this, I know this — there is nothing more common with a witness of any age when asked about events that are years old to say 'I do not recall," said Schiff. "Indeed they're instructed by their attorney to do that if they have any question about it. You undertsood that. You made a choice. That was a political choice. It was the wrong choice."

Incredibly well done Congressman Schiff!

This was an absolute masterclass in how to dismantle a MAGA hatchet man when he tries to hide behind obfuscation and lies.

Hur should be ashamed of himself and should be barred from holding any positions of authority or responsibility in the future. He clearly cannot be trusted.
