'A sloppy report': Prosecutor singles out contradictions in Hur's Biden findings

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 host scolded by Dem Goldman for comparing Biden docs to Trump's Mar-a-Lago stash

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.

'Never encountered someone so loathed': NYT reporter astonished by hatred for Mark Meadows

Many of Donald Trump's political allies have debased themselves for the former president, only to fall out of his good graces, but perhaps no one else has ever fallen so far as Mark Meadows.

The ex-president's final White House chief of staff joined the MAGA think tank Conservative Partnership Institute a week after Trump left office and enjoys a salary of just under $850,000, but New York Times reporter Robert Draper told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Meadows has been cast out of the Trump orbit as he faces Georgia racketeering charges and other legal perils.

Special counsel Hur accused of working to satisfy 'angry Republicans' with Biden jabs

Attempting to explain what MSNBC host Joe Scarborough called "gratuitous" attacks on President Joe Biden in special counsel Robert Hur's report on government documents found in Biden's garage, legal analyst Ken Dilanian accused the Donald Trump-appointed former U.S. attorney of trying to placate Republicans.

After the clearly furious Scarborough mocked Hur as a fake "neurologist" with a degree from the fraudulent Trump University, Dilanian explained that the attack on Biden would give Hur something to use in his defense for not bringing charges against the sitting president when he is interrogated by angry Republicans.

'A neurologist from Trump University': Furious Morning Joe rips Biden special counsel Hur

Kicking off Friday morning's "Morning Joe," co-host Mika Brzezinski didn't even get a chance to finish describing the report from special counsel Robert Hur before Joe Scarborough cut her off and dropped the hammer on the Donald Trump-appointed former U.S. attorney.

With Brzezinski pointing to Hur suggesting that President Joe Biden is "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" who would not hold up on the witness stand if he was prosecuted over government documents, a fuming Scarborough jumped in.

"A neurologist and a lawyer," the MSNBC sarcastically interjected to which Brzezinski replied, "Let me finish, but I agree."

"You kind of need to stop there," Scarborough continued by adding, "A neurologist from Trump University. I've got to stop right here, I know we want to go on and finish this report."

"So bizarre, so many people that immediately heard these random conclusions, irrelevant conclusions, politically charged, Trump-like ramblings," he added.

'Mark my words': Ex-prosecutor predicts Trump's next legal filing in documents case

Trump's legal team is probably typing away on their filing to get his classified documents obstruction case scrapped now that President Joe Biden dodged criminal charges.

Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig said the win for Biden to avoid criminal prosecution for being found to possess boxes of classified documents in his garage was a "close call" and may have cracked the window for Trump counsel to make a bid to convince the judge to stick a fork in his Florida federal case.
