    Prosecutors stop short of indicting all the time according to Judge Janine Shapiro when they feel the defendant would have a sympathetic jury due to a limited mental capacity. An explanation for not pursuing a verdict to the DOJ was warranted.

    He didn't choose. You don't "choose" to not indict The lack of evidence chooses for you.

    Nope, inanimate objects don't make decisions. Nice try.

    There could be overwhelming evidence, and he basically said there was plenty, and he still not decide to indict.

    LOL @ evidence making decisions

    She's half Brahmin (the highest caste in India) from her mother's side, and, half "Jamaican" (typically regarded as a mix of African, Indian, Asian, and even Caucasian) from her father's side.

    If it weren't for the nose, you probably couldn't distinguish her from any other woman with white skin and a nice tan.... And, no, she doesn't look like any "Black" (Negroid) woman I ever saw. Nevertheless, it's the person behind her racial features and skin color that people have come to scorn and laugh at about Kamala Harris!

    We do know that she got into law school using "Affirmative Action", and that she flunked the California BAR exam the first time she took it. That she has been such a resounding failure as Vice-President of the United States, therefore, is not exactly shocking.... :roll:

    Lack of evidence is not an inanimate object. It's not even an "object", inanimate or otherwise. Lack of evidence is a condition that is discovered when analyzing reality. It's the way reality make decisions for you.

    He chose not to indict. The evidence was overwhelming, and a federal grand jury would have voted to indict and in a federal court a conviction would have been near certain.

    Nevertheless, IMO it would have been a mistake to indict a sitting President for mishandling classified documents.

    OTOH, Garland's decision to make the special prosecutor's report with all the petty political attacks public was a rather odd error.

    The Inconvenient Truth: Grand juries will indict a ham sandwich, and federal trial juries will convict a slice of bread.

    IMO, AG Garland decision to release the report was a grave error that harms the national interest.

    'The villain here is Merrick Garland': White House upset with AG's handling of Biden probe

    [​IMG]Alternet on MSN.com|2 days ago
    If President Joe Biden wins a second term in November, he's not likely to keep Attorney General Merrick Garland in his current role, according to a new report. Politico reported Friday evening that sources close to Biden who spoke anonymously to protect their positions say the president is privately "grumbling" about Garland's leadership of the

    Biden is passed gaffes now. These aren't gas anymore it's verifiable mental decline.

    It's like weekend at Bernie's.

    By now everyone knows that prosecutors seldom just do their “JOB” -- prosecutorial misconduct is common.
    This well known fact of modern American life benefits every target of prosecutorial misconduct -- including Trump -- and now Biden.

    This is how the ecosystem of the DC Swamp works so well for our corrupt entrenched bipartisan ruling political class:

    Pointing out how bad Democrat pols are is occasionally enough to win some elections for some Republicans.

    They still have poverty, poop, Second Amendment right infringement, border, and excessive taxes to run on. It doesn't hurt that Bidens elevator no longer reaches the penthouse.

    I think we can all agree that Hur demonstrated he was irresponsible and not very competent. But nobody was more eager than him to find something to prosecute...

    Hur found more than enough to prosecute.
    A partisan prosecution of a sitting President over a technical violation of an absurd law, if not illegal, would be very unpopular.
    IOW bad politics for the RP. Hur did the best he could for his party.
    That now seems to be every prosecutor's 'JOB 1'.

    Nope!

    We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter. We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president.

    And Hur's party is the Party of Trump. He was appointed to the DoJ by Trump, and is a holdover by the Biden administration to make sure that you can't claim that this had any partisan bias. At least, not bias in favor of Biden. Even though the bias AGAINST Biden was pretty clear.

    Re-read HUR statement; he doesn't dispute the evidence at all - he provides photos of improperly stored classified document in Biden's garage, , in fact. His decision to not indict was because he questioned Biden's ability to aid in his own defense.

    There's a little more to the document than that quote.

    Which, he says, ALL Presidents since at least Reagan have done. And that it's not a crime.

    He then goes further to say that what Trump did IS a crime.

    So if you're a Trump supporter, any statement you make on this matter does not carry much weight.

    Nice dodge. Biden wasn't President when he took the documents. I'm an American first and a Trump tolerator second. Sadly, you always place party before country.

    Nah... that's the whole text. The rest just says "Lorem Ipsum" over and over again. But I don't know what it means because I don't speak French.

    Nice demonstration of lacking arguments...

    For most of our nation's history, presidents and vice presidents treated all records from their respective administrations-including records relating to issues of national security-as personal property that they took with them upon leaving office.

    You do understand the documents were NOT from his VP or Presidential terms, right? And even if they were dumping then in ragged boxes in a garage or occupied offices in private buildings is not sufficient security.
