Department of Justice special counsel Robert Hur's new report may have exonerated President Joe Biden from any criminal wrongdoing over his handling of classified documents, but its characterization of Biden's mental fortitude has one legal expert questioning Hur's use of certain language.

Even though the nearly 400-page report concluded that Biden's actions didn't warrant any criminal charges, Hur — whom former President Donald Trump appointed as US Attorney for the District of Maryland in 2018 — still made several digs at Biden. The report mentioned his mental faculties nine times, and Hur referred to the president as a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory."

A Republican congressman audibly sighed at Rep. Elise Stefanik's insistence that she would have done what former vice president Mike Pence refused to do on Jan. 6, 2021.

The New York Republican, who is widely considered a leading contender for Donald Trump's running mate, told CNN's Kaitlan Collins that Pence was wrong to accept electors from Pennsylvania and other states the former president lost in 2020, saying there had been "constitutional overreach," and Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) paused and sighed loudly when asked Friday about his GOP colleague's remarks.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," State Attorney for Palm Beach County Dave Aronberg dumped all over the special counsel Robert Hur for his report on President Joe Biden retaining government documents and questioned whether Hur is even aware he contradicted himself in his conclusions.

Speaking with hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, the Florida prosecutor bluntly called the report "sloppy."

"Joe, when I thought that this was such a political gift to candidate Donald Trump that he may have to list it as an in-kind campaign contribution," he joked. "Robert Hur's appointment as special counsel is another example of [Attorney General] Merrick Garland's determination to appear apolitical. That's why he kept on a Republican Trump appointed U.S.. attorney in David Weiss to investigate Hunter Biden. That's why he appointed a Republican Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney in Robert Hur to investigate President Biden."

'Merrick Garland didn't have to put all this extraneous stuff out there," Aronberg exclaimed. "How different is this than [Trump Attorney General] Bill Barr who refused to show the public the Mueller report and then issued that three-page memo that misled the public?"

"This investigation should have been relatively easy; there was full cooperation. The only reason they found out about the documents is Joe Biden told them about it — it's a sloppy report!' he exclaimed.

"Summary on page one says that there was willful retention and disclosure, but then on page 215 it says there's a shortage of evidence on these points: which is it?" he ranted. "The question to me is why did he do this? I think the reason is he was motivated to avoid David Weiss's fate. David Weiss is hated by his own party. I think that's why Robert Hur did this. It's Comey 2.0."

CNN "This Morning" co-host Phil Mattingly was on the receiving end of a fierce dressing down from Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) after he tried to equate the finding in special counsel Robert Hur's on documents President Joe Biden had in his home with the boxes of material found in Mar-a-Lago that Donald Trump refused to return until the FBI showed up.

During his appearance on CNN, Mattingly pressed Goldman — who served as lead majority counsel in Trump's first impeachment trial — on Hur's controversial report about Biden's "willful retention" of documents which received immediate pushback.
