I think they shot their wad prematurely

[vercetti2021]

If they did this in October. Yeah I can see it being a problem. But in the early months of the 2024? I don't think it's going to matter much. They got a talking point for a bit but its moot once president Biden starts to campaign/debate/sotu address.

Our country has the attention span of a fucking gnat. It'll fade off into the background.

1. I'm afraid this special prosecutor is gonna harass Biden all the way to November.

Ken Starr did that with Clinton.
It never ended.

This Hur guy is plain old trash.....

[Tommy Carcetti]

20. It's done though.

He’s not pressing charges or alleging wrongdoing.

Unfortunately he said so in the absolutely shittiest way possible, but the investigation is over and done with.

[LeftInTX]

21. That's what I've been reading. Thank you.

[Captain Zero]

2. Shit their was in WHAT?

They?

Could you be any less specific in what you are talking about here??

[vercetti2021]

3. The special counsel Maga hack

All that shit was definitely coordinated for today but they shot their wad early. The beginning of February it's going to have little to no effect.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. Thanks. Please, always think of the readers who are not as good at mindreading as you are. . . . nt

[Easterncedar]

4. Good point

[RockRaven]

5. Yeah. And they are going to be very VERY defensive about it.

"It wasn't premature! If was a very normal and good duration! Most people can't last that long! It was very good! Good and normal! Very impressive, actually!"

You can hear it now...

[B.See]

9. Exactly. A "perfect call"... "Beautiful"

(scurrilous mfkrs)

[Frasier Balzov]

6. Doesn't it all depend on how Biden performs?

He will be under an extraordinary amount of scrutiny now.

A nation saying to itself we thought we detected something was wrong. So now it's been confirmed by a government investigator?

[niyad]

10. An extraordinary amount now? What do you think he has been under up

to now?

[Frasier Balzov]

12. Henceforth the benefit of the doubt is precipitously withdrawn.

If problems manifest, adverse conclusions are more readily jumped to.

[jmbar2]

19. We need to emphasize our strong backbench

Biden has assembled a highly experienced, qualified, and relatively no drama administration from top to bottom. That's why they want to take it down.

[Caliman73]

36. You give the average American WAY TOO MUCH credit for paying attention.

I think that the OP is correct. This will be in the new cycle for a bit, but there is so much going on that it will be replaced soon. People are not paying attention right now. Those of us who are immersed in politics are paying attention, but the average American is not.

Remember in 2016 Hillary was leading Trump by low double digits until the last 10 days of the election when the Comey report came out. Less than 2 weeks from election when people were primed and paying attention, especially in swing states. Right now, the Iowa Caucuses got something like 15% of Registered Republicans out. Those are the hardcore. The people who are currently engaged.

As the economy improves and Biden heats up his campaigning, people on our side will coalesce and as Trump's legal problems continue to hit, more people will be motivated to keep him out of office.

[carpetbagger]

7. I think this was to save Hur's butt.

He's obviously thinking about Trump. He recommends indictment, he kneecaps Trump by opposing his immunity. But if he ever wants to get an appointment in a GOP administration, he needs to make up a sob story and blame a fictive jury of grandpa-pity. I've never seen fan fiction in these types of reports, but hey, it's what you have to do to stay viable in authoritarian times.

Agree, it passes in a few days.

[agingdem]

32. Exactly...

In Robert Hur's middle school mean girl attempt to secure a job in the next Trump administration or perhaps a Supreme Court nomination (sorry Bob, Aileen Cannon has that), Robert Hur has proved himself to be just another Trump ass kissing hack...I do hope he's enjoying swimming in the juices of multiple raging Democratic/MSNBC/progressive podcasts pushbacks...(and btw, Robert Hur, your Comey-style hit job...too soon, you fuck!)

as for this Comey-style hit job, allow me to paraphrase a line from the movie Hunt For Red October applicable to Robert Hur (and the MAGA cretins).."You arrogant ass, you killed *you!"..

[Cha]

8. lol agree.

[B.See]

11. Trump's cognitive skills aren't all THAT

as evidenced by the goofy rambling shit he often says.. and also by the fact he keeps talking about it.

Hey! If you're really' all that' you don't have to keep selling it mf.

[LeftInTX]

13. Trump gets a pass because he's not known for his intellect.

He presides by bluster and BS.
Biden is an attorney, an intellect. He presides using his skills. Hence they're poking at Biden's strength.
We poke at Trump's strength, if we convince people that he's timid and shy.

[B.See]

14. Trump gets a pass because he's Trump

as it's always been.

And in MAGAS eyes he can DO no wrong.

[leftyladyfrommo]

22. Trump gets a pass because everyone is

afraid of him and his goons.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. I actually think it was a test of Biden's resistance, plus it's what they've always done

If Dems fight hard, we can seize the upper hand that Republicans have held for 65 years.

Special Counsel is not a medical doctor. He's got no business opining on something outside his expertise, not having a medical license that would enable him to examine the object of his accusations, IF that opportunity were granted. I sure hope they sue the pants off him.

[Irish_Dem]

17. This is just the beginning of very serious ratfucking against Biden.

Make no mistake, this is just the start of it.

The GOP, Trump, and Putin are desperate and they will do anything to win.

[vercetti2021]

25. I totally agree

But Joe isn't going to take shit and he will obviously fight back. Which is good because Kerry and Clinton sadly didn't push back until it was too late. Biden going right out the door immediately is great.

[Irish_Dem]

28. That's the Irish in him.

We don't start fights, but dammit, we will sure as hell finish one.

[vercetti2021]

29. I agree

Having 40% Irish in me, I guess we just don't take shit lying down

[Irish_Dem]

33. He's obviously fairly patient and not hotheaded, which is good.

Or at least he can keep his hotheadedness under good control.

I do believe Putin pushed Biden's buttons big time with the Israeli attack and hoped that he could trick Biden into doing something foolish. Biden was too smart and didn't bite on the bait.

So it's easy to surmise that Biden does have a temper but he keeps it under good control. That said I think you can only push the man so far and he's gonna come out swinging. And when Joe Biden wants to fight you, you probably wanna think twice about starting that fight. The handsome Irish affable, charming, smiling, glad-handing man juxtaposed against the you can only push them so far or things take a turn for the worse.

[Hugin]

26. It's always been obvious to me that the...

GrOPper machine isn’t going to go quietly or quickly.

Look for these types of outbursts to swarm into the narrative every time things are about to turn south for their Mandarine Messiah. Which is going to be very often.

This case may have been “payback” for the alleged “sick f**k” comments. Which in itself was an attempt to muddy President Biden that blew back on the keystone kleptos when none other than John Bolton appeared on their very own propaganda networks nodding in vigorous agreement with the assessment of the deportment of Smelvis.

[Irish_Dem]

30. It's only partly payback. The main strategy is to defeat Biden by any means possible.

The GOP has a lot on the line, their power and wealth. Also many of the GOP leaders were directly involved in J6, and could face charges. I am sure that's weighing on their minds. So they will pretty much do anything to stay in power to avoid jail.

We also have a very desperate Putin, China and Trump.

Putin of course is in a great deal of jeopardy because of his invasion. China's economy is hitting free fall status and Xi has made so many mistakes I can't even list them all.

Plus China and Russia are completely convinced they will be the 21st-century global superpowers and they have to damage the Western democracies. Which they've been working on now for quite some time and been very good at it.

[Fullduplexxx]

18. The impeachment of biden is next that will probably start in the summer

[Scrivener7]

23. AND it should be greeted with an eyeroll by every Democrat, public and private, and then some comment like,

"Did you see how the guy who is supposed to be feeble handled the screeching jackals of the press right after the partisan drivel in that report came out?"

[LeftInTX]

24. Sorry, I don't like being told how I should feel about something.

I don't feel like rolling my eyes.

[Scrivener7]

34. Lol! You go! You make that stand against an anonymous internet person forcing you to do things!

[samsingh]

27. listen to trump speak and you can hear what out of reality really means

but don't listen for long

[obamanut2012]

31. I agree -- they wanted this to be a Comey moment, but it was eight months too soon

[Brainfodder]

35. DEBATES will settle this matter?

Chicken Sniffle gonna show?
