Hur: The White House Pressured Me to Change My Findings

The White House didn't like that he blew the whistle on their cover-up of the fake president's mental infirmity.

Special counsel Robert Hur testified on Tuesday that the White House attempted to pressure him into changing aspects of his report on President Biden's mishandling of classified documents.

The revelation came during Hur's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, in which Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., probed the special counsel head about a Feb. 5 letter the White House Counsel sent to Hur days before his report became public. When Tiffany asked whether the White House requested he "change [the report's] references to the president's poor memory," Hur confirmed the administration did, in fact, make such a request.

"There was a request, yes," Hur said, contradicting claims issued earlier in the hearing by Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who asserted Biden did not "seek to redact a single word of Mr. Hur's report."

In fact, there were repeated attempts to get Hur to change his honest reporting on the deterioration of the fake president's brain.

John Sexton quotes the Washington Post:

When Hur finished his 345-page report, he first sent it to Biden's lawyers to review in person. The Biden team was permitted to request factual edits and to submit a response that was included in the final copy.

They asked Hur to consider removing the details about the president's memory, but Hur refused, according to two people familiar with the communications.

The report then went to the DOJ's highest-ranking non-political official. The White House again begged him to censor the report:

Weinsheimer had received a letter from Biden's lawyers saying Hur's report "blatantly violates Justice Department policy and practice." He read the report and determined that the document was appropriate and contained nothing that violated agency regulations, according to officials familiar with the internal conversations.

Finally, the report went to partisan stooge Merrick Garland -- and he, too refused the White House's demands to alter the report.

I know the below claims the White House avoided making these requests, because such requests require the notification to Congress of the attempt to censor the record.

I do not believe them. The White House asked to alter the report through back-channels.

Some Biden aides wanted Garland to question the memory references when he reviewed the report, according to people familiar with the White House conversations, even though doing so would have meant notifying Congress that he had asked Hur for edits.

Garland reviewed what Hur's team had written and agreed. He prepared to submit the report to Congress and then make it public with no redactions.

Sexton writes:

Because this is a story at the Post the comments are the usual dumpster fire of partisan rants about AG Garland not being political enough and Robert Hur being too political.

LOL.

Some other points of interest from the hearing:

Eric Swallowell attempted to get Hur, a former Federal prosecutor, would refuse any appointment by Trump into the federal prosecutor corps should he win. Hur declined to answer, and Swallowell claimed this means that he cannot be trusted.

So does this equally apply to the Biden prosecutors who accepted Biden's appointment, or nah?

Adam Schiff trotted out Dan Goldman's excuse -- Biden was just lying when he claimed he couldn't remember. You know, like all Democrat witnesses since Hillary Clinton do.

In the hearing just now, Russia collusion conspiracy theorist, liar and leaker Adam Schiff just said it's common for witnesses to say "I don't recall" and in fact attorneys are supposed to instruct them to do so if they don't remember everything. The J6 Committee tried to smear Stefan Passantino for guiding Cassidy Hutchinson to say "I don't recall" when she didn't remember key details or facts.

The lying c*w Jayapal kept insisting that Hur's report "exonerated" Biden, despite Hur repeatedly telling her it did no such thing.

She said "This is my time" when he attempted to correct her the third time. Which means, "Shut up, I am acting as if this is a question but it's actually just a speech and you're supposed to sit their silently as I say these things, so the media can run video of it with the suggestion that you are agreeing with my statements in guilty silence, and when you object, that ruins the propaganda stunt I'm attempting."

Here's a lie that leftwing fake "journalists" are putting out: Biden correctly named the month and date of Beau Biden's death. But he had no idea about the year.

Hur's report said not that he couldn't name the date, but that he could not name the year, "even within a range of years" or words to that effect.

Leftwing fake "journalists" are flooding Twitter with clear disinformation that Hur said he couldn't name the date.

CBS DEI hack Weija Jiang is also pushing the disinformation hard that akshually Biden remembered the date.

"So, look, many of the details that Biden couldn't recall -- such as how boxes were backed up, how they were transported -- those are things that would likely be tricky for anyone to remember decades later. It is notable, though, that Hur could not remember when his son Beau died. That's just not true.

Hur's report said he could not name the year, even within a range of years. This is just factually false disinformation.

The President correctly stated the date, May 30, but struggled to name the year. His lawyer quickly chimed that it was 2015. After the report's release, Biden angrily responded, saying he thought the question wasn't any of their damn business. But one thing is very clear from the transcript. Biden was cooperative throughout the entire interview process. Of course, one reason why Hur declined to prosecute him."

Here's the actual transcript:

UPDATE: Below is a longer transcript, which proves that Biden first guessed that Beau died in 2017 or 2018. His aim was to blame his failure to properly handle classified records on Beau's death, which is his Get Out of Jail Free card for all scandals.

MR. HUR: So during this time when you were living at Chain Bridge Road and there were documents relating to the Penn Biden Center, or the Biden Institute, or the Cancer Moonshot, or your book, where did you keep papers that related to those things that you were actively working on?

PRESIDENT BIDEN: Well, um .. . I , I, I, I, I don' t know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area?

MR. HUR: Yes, sir.

PRESIDENT BIDEN: Remember, in this timeframe, my son is either been deployed or is dying, and, and so it was and by the way, there were still a lot of people at the time when I got out of the Senate that were encouraging me to run in this period, except the President. I'm not -- and not a mean thing to say. He just thought that she had a better shot of winning the presidency than I did. And so I hadn't, I hadn't, at this point -- even though I'm at Penn, I hadn't walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, I'd be running for President. And, and so what was happening, though -- what month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30th --

MS. COTTON: 2015.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: 2015.

PRESIDENT BIDEN: Was it 2015 he had died?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: It was May of 2015.

PRESIDENT BIDEN: It was 2015.

Twitchy's BrettT lays out Weija Jiang's Chicom level disinformation and her refusal to correct her false claims.

And then there's this Beauty:

Hur slapped the perjury out of Adam Schiff's lying mouth:
