Hur Hearing Backfires on Republicans

Markings don't make them classified.

Anyone who's attended OPSEC briefings knows this.

What makes them classified is the content.

Yet, if they aren't so marked, there is not crime committed, since one must have the mens rea, that the classification markings provide.
 
Problem with that is Biden hasn't even claimed to have attempted this.
That would let everyone know that he knew the stuff was classified.
Why declassify stuff he claims he didn't know was declassified?
I could say the same of Trump. Who claim he declassified everything he took back to the executive living quarters.
Not all of which was classified. Yet Trump claimed he automatically declassified all of it.
 
Nope. Hur said that Biden knowingly retained classified information, and that he’s not being prosecuted because he’s mentally unfit to stand trial.
Biden didn't knowingly retain. When he found out he had classified material, he either had the National Archives pick it up, or his lawyers search for it, and turn it over to the National Archives.
 
I've read he didn't show them to the ghost writer, he parsed them and spoke to him about them....I think over the phone?


Either way, it was an intentional breach of national security. There is no scenario where quid pro joe was authorized to have those documents.

If Biden ever admits to declassifying anything he would be admitting that he didn't "ACCIDENTALLY" mishandle the stuff.
You know.....the stuff you claim he supposedly declassified but refuses to admit to declassifying and is currently still classified because the FBI said it was still classified.
Now put a twist on that. Because Trump made that claim, yet ignored a request from the National Archives, a subpoena from the justice department, and finally a search warrant from the courts to return the classified documents.
 
That is the primary reason for the immunity motion he's bringing to the Supreme Court, because Trump was accused of monkeying with the election in Georgia WHILE PRESIDENT. He was accused of bribing or threatening Zelensky during a phone call WHILE PRESIDENT. He was accused of Russian collusion before and after becoming POTUS. He was accused of insurrection WHILE PRESIDENT. On Jan 6th 2021 he was still president. He didn't become an ex-president till after Jan 21st.
Nixon also committed the crimes he was pardoned for while president too.

Biden did knowingly steal and retain classified documents to aid his book deal.

It's in the Hur report.
 
This was a disaster for Gym Jordan and the Republicans. Madeleine Dean and Eric Swalwell did some of the most effective questioning. By merely having Hur read his own words, his own transcript, his own report.



It was a disaster for Biden. The Hur report showed that Biden stole classified documents to use for personal gain.
