You can tell how damaging the Hur report is to Biden based strictly on the reaction from Democrats and members of the activist media. They’re freaking out, and they have good reasons to do so.
The report itself was bad enough, but then Biden compounded the problem with his disastrous television address and the entire professional left is now in damage control mode.
Kamala Harris was rushed out in front of cameras immediately.
FOX News reports:
Kamala Harris angrily attacks special counsel who spotlighted Biden memory lapses as ‘politically motivated’
Vice President Kamala Harris sharply attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on President Biden’s handling of classified documents, Friday, as “politically motivated” and “gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate.”
A reporter asked Harris in Washington if she thought Hur’s report that recounted several memory lapses by the president was fair. Harris blasted Hur as being “wrong on the facts” and thought he should have shown greater integrity.
“I’m glad you asked,” Harris said. “Listen, I have been privileged and proud to serve as vice president of the United States with Joe Biden as president of the United States. And what I saw [in] that report last night, I believe, as a former prosecutor, the comments that were made by that prosecutor [were] gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate.”
She is so outrageously outraged.
Word has gone out. Attack, attack, attack.
If I were an elected official right now I might consider subpoenaing Robert Hur to testify about this report. Every time he ever says “I do not recall” I would ask him if it is safe to say he is a well meaning but elderly old man with a poor memory.

The White House is not happy with Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report clearing Biden of classified documents charges, calling jabs at the president’s memory “prejudicial,” “inflammatory,” and “gratuitous.”

The New York Times went with ‘Republicans Pounce’ because of course they did.
It’s outrageous that the current Democrat President of the United States is too old and senile to stand trial but still leading the country.
Add it to the many other outrages of just this week alone.
How do they always get away with it?

Remember this Obama bro?
Robert Hur clearly decided to go down the Jim Comey path of filling his report absolving Biden of criminal activity with ad hominem attacks, like calling him an “elderly man with poor memory.” Not remotely subtle. Just a right-wing hit job from within Biden’s own DOJ. Wild.

Here’s an official Biden/Harris Twitter/X account using Jeffrey Toobin as a defense.
Toobin: It was outrageous that Herr put in some of that stuff in this report. That had no place in it. There’s no reason why this report had to be 300 pages. There is no reason why this fairly straightforward case had to be treated this way. The job is to put up or shut up pic.twitter.com/QkzMDmsmJL

This is a former Obama campaign manager.
Let’s be clear–the special counsel isn’t a dummy and we should be very careful not to take the bait after Comey pulled this in 2016. Hur, a lifelong Republican and creature of DC, didn’t have a case against Biden, but he knew exactly how his swipes could hurt Biden politically.

Media Matters is big mad.
Political journalists decided to treat Biden’s missteps as a big problem, and Trump’s as a small one. They’re setting the agenda, following the lead of the Republican Party, the right-wing media, and now, special counsel Robert Hur. https://t.co/IJ55VbPYZ9

They’re so upset.
Here’s Vice President Kamala Harris, putting Special Counsel Robert Hur on BLAST for his bullshit, gratuitous comments in his report.
WELL SAID, VP HARRIS! 👏👏pic.twitter.com/m40EHnw8L9

It was a “sloppy report” says the MSNBC guest.
Legal analyst: It’s a sloppy report. The question to me is why did Republican counsel Robert Hur say this about Biden? I think he was motivated to avoid David Weiss’s fate, another Trump-appointee, who is now hated by the MAGA world pic.twitter.com/MrGo5nF2Mq

So much rage.
I hope Robert Hur, the Special Counsel who just publicly attacked President Biden and the memory of Biden’s dead son Beau, understands his career is over.
I have never seen a more despicable act by a member of the DOJ in my life.
He should be condemned by all his peers. pic.twitter.com/q0IqBazEA9

Cheap shots?
Blitzer: Does this raise alarms about whether Biden’s fit to serve another term in office?
Raskin: Well, undoubtedly that’s what Hur intended to do with the ridiculous cheap shots. pic.twitter.com/K1FsPC6k13

Oh my…
It’s pretty clear. Hur put all that nasty stuff about Biden in his report so the MAGA right wouldn’t start threatening Hur and his family. He had to prove he was a true partisan and cover his own ass.

Gratuitous remarks.
Special Counsel Hur report on Biden classified documents issues contains way too many gratuitous remarks and is flatly inconsistent with long standing DOJ traditions.
Had this report been been subject to a normal DOJ review these remarks would undoubtedly have been excised.
— Eric Holder (@EricHolder) February 9, 2024
LOL.
Robert Hur is now a partisan hack, Bill Barr level
If he did good before, it’s erased
He literally should be disbarred https://t.co/RBXiiq3UdG

This is actually pretty funny. Democrat strategist Paul Begala said on CNN that the news caused him to wet the bed.
CNN’s Paul Begala on Joe Biden’s press conference performance:
“I slept like a baby last night. I woke up every 2 hours & wet the bed. This is terrible for Democrats…”
Begala then takes a shot at Biden for not knowing when he was vice president.pic.twitter.com/ttKJfVuSgo

Democrats and their media allies can howl at the moon from now until November, but it’s not going to change public perception of Biden. People saw Biden confirm Hur’s findings on live TV. The narrative has shifted.
