GOP lawmaker reveals ‘perverse implication’ of Robert Hur's argument on Trump 'deterrent effect'
Fox News
Rep. Kevin Kiley spoke with Fox News Digital after grilling ex-Special Counsel Robert Hur about an aspect of his Biden report that seemed to suggest charges against former President Trump were at least part of the consideration in ultimately not recommending them for Biden.

Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., took issue with a part of Hur’s report that downplayed the "deterrent effect" of charging Biden, both because of "little risk he will reoffend" and that "future presidents and vice presidents are already likely to be deterred by the multiple recent criminal investigations, and one prosecution, of current and former presidents and vice presidents for mishandling classified documents."
