Behind the scenes, the White House reportedly pressured special counsel Robert Hur to take passages out of his report that discuss President Joe Biden’s memory and physical state, according to Politico. (snip) Ahead of the release of the report, the White House was reportedly in the dark about what the final copy would say but hoped their efforts to reach Hur ahead of its release would force edits, Politico reported. “Hur did not indicate whether he would make any changes,” a person familiar with the process told Politico.

We've been watching and listening to this idiot and his grifter family for three years. His staff, his handlers, his wife, and Obama truly think that we won't believe what we are witnessing simply because THEY say it ain't so. OH, YES, JOE!! WE'RE STUPID!!!! We can hardly wait for another speech informing us of what ingrates we are for not fully appreciating your systematic, deliberate DESTRUCTION of this great nation.

Robert Hur was getting orders from someone higher up than Biden to leave all the embarrassing passages in.

So they saw the report in advance, which explain the ten days of sending him all over the Country for no purpose (no programs announced or campaign points made) other than to sound like an idiot -- so he wouldn't get charged for his criminal conduct. And big coincidence, the report got released one news cycle before the Superbowl.

Hur may have believed Biden was faking memory loss to avoid answering questions that would have increased the depth of his guilt, so he's called Biden's bluff. Biden can't have it both ways; either he is guilty of violating the law on classified materials or he is mentally unstable, insufficiently aware enough to answer the charges against him, even though a lot of his violations occurred more than 20 years ago. His ability to stand trial may be legitimately in question. There really is no middle ground here, so Biden and his enablers, must pick their poison. If Biden is successful in impugning the prosecutor, he may very well face charges and a trial after he is finally out of the WH, whether by internal democrat coup or by losing re-election in November.

"“He did not remember when he was vice president” The Knotseez at the White House, under the direction of Jill and Hussein, appear to have asked the Demented Fuhrer to simply read their teleprompter and exit left, exit right, exit up, exit down. Whichever is convenient.

What is it called when a President, behind the scenes, tries to influence and alter the findings of an "Independent Council/Special Prosecutor"? I'm certain there is a term for that...seems I recall that it is considered a "Bad" thing, or at least it once was considered a "bad" thing. Particularly seeing as how part of the report clearly states he is "a national security risk" If Biden, his supporters, staff and the media are truly upset by the imprecations about his ability to stand trial...They should DEMAND a trial.

It was all for naught. Those passages were conspicuous by their absence, like the Dog that Didn't Bark. Instead, it was the dog that kept biting Secret Service personnel.

A New Hampshire Democrat cradled her week-old daughter while defending a proposed state constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights up to 24 weeks and allow the procedure beyond that when deemed medically necessary. "I stand here today as one of the millions of people who has had an abortion.

A review of 60 studies of the mental health of transgender-identifying youth found that “there is no long-term evidence that current ‘gender affirming’ medication and surgical protocols benefit their mental well-being,” according to a group representing pediatricians. The American College of Pediatricians issued a position statement on Wednesday opposing the gender transitioning of youth based on the literature review. It comes just after a watchdog group filed a scientific integrity complaint against Department of Health and Human Services official Rachel Levine for claiming that “there is no argument among medical professionals regarding “the value and the importance of gender-affirming care.”

More than two dozen confidential witnesses against former president Donald Trump face “significant and immediate risks of threats, intimidation, and harassment” if their identities become public, federal prosecutors have told a judge. In response, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon in West Palm Beach, Florida put a hold on Friday’s previously scheduled public release of a trove of documents. Cannon has given Trump's attorneys until Feb. 23 to respond, meaning the documents likely won't be released earlier. At issue is evidence prosecutors turned over to defense attorneys in the case over Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida after leaving the White House.

Israel's neighbors and key mediators warned Saturday of disaster and repercussions if its military launches a ground invasion in Gaza's southern city of Rafah, where Israel says remaining Hamas strongholds are located — along with over half the besieged territory's population. [SNIP] The announcement set off panic. More than half of Gaza's 2.3 million people are packed into Rafah, which borders Egypt. Many fled there after following Israeli evacuation orders that now cover two-thirds of the territory following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that sparked the war. It's not clear where they could go next. Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said any Israeli ground offensive on Rafah would have "disastrous consequences."
