Ex-Prosector Rips Special Counsel's 'Entirely Inappropriate' Attack On Biden
HuffPost
Andrew Weissmann said Robert Hur's report was "exactly what you're not supposed to do."
Legal analysts on Thursday were stunned by special counsel Robert Hur’s decision to release a report attacking President Joe Biden’s age and memory while also clearing him in the classified documents case.
Speaking MSNBC, former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann called Hur’s commentary “entirely inappropriate,” “irrelevant,” and “gratuitous.”
“It is also exactly what you’re not supposed to do, which is putting your thumb on the scale that could have political repercussions,” said Weissmann, who noted that the Justice Department’s lingo is “put up or shut up.”
“You either decide to go forward, that there is proof here, or you don’t say anything at all with respect to your opinions about the case,” he said.
Weissmann said former FBI Director James Comey also flunked this test when he announced before the 2020 election that he would not charge Hillary Clinton, but then attacked her anyway.
