Here's his background, according to NPR:
Let's debate it vigorously, but let's also try to put our heads together and come up with a cogent theory of why he did what he did - or maybe narrow down the theories to a couple of reasonable, but competing possibilities.
What did he do?
My interpretation is that he did very much what James Comey did: He came up with a report (in Comey's case I guess it was just the opening remarks of a press conference, more than an official report), in which he first listed all the reasons that the subject should clearly be prosecuted, and then gave a pretty thin reason not to prosecute. If you saw his action differently, say so. This is intended to be a very open discussion of Hur's actions and motivation.
So, why?
What motivated him to avoid taking a stand that would have made him beloved by one "side" and hated by the other, to instead take a position almost guaranteed to make both sides very angry at him?
Let's try to keep this one clean for a while, folks, I ask very nicely.
Thanks.
