'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."
