Though Special Counsel Robert Hur was grilled by both sides during the House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday regarding his troubling findings in the Joe Biden classified documents probe, it was Democrats who were clearly rattled by what Hur had to say and his defenses of the conclusions he drew about Biden.
There was Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), for example, who predictably went his usual slimy route by trying to smear Hur and get him to pledge to not accept an appointment in a future Donald Trump administration in the event Trump wins in November - as though Hur's observations in the report about Biden were made with that in mind.
Then there was woke Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who desperately tried to get Hur to declare that he had "exonerated" Biden. When Hur immediately corrected her and said he had done no such thing, she rushed to shut him up by reclaiming her time.

Meanwhile, on the Twitter machine, much Copium and Hopium was being passed around among Very Online Leftists who struggled mightly to cope, seethe, dodge, and deflect after a day where things went from bad to worse for Joe Biden:
This is a very strange thing for the national media—and the Special Counsel—to fixate on…

In America, you’re innocent until proven guilty.
The ultimate conclusion here was that charges are NOT warranted and the case is CLOSED.
In other words, the President was cleared. pic.twitter.com/8WujTu4EN4

A video has been unearthed showing Trump-appointed prosecutor Robert Hur claiming that Bush v. Gore happened in “2001” or “2002.”

It happened in 2000.

Go easy on Robert Hur.

He's just a well-meaning, aging man w/a poor memory. https://t.co/IA1w4I18oL
Robert Hur completely fabricated the story of Biden not being able to remember when his son Beau died.

Hur lied and he should be held accountable. pic.twitter.com/YLfkmPNX88
Robert Hur is a disgraceful partisan hack who should not have a license to practice law. Choosing him as the special counsel was a shocking lapse by Merrick Garland.

Robert Hur is just another MAGA Moron and Trump Humper. Pass it on.

Reading the transcript it seems obvious that Biden was not as demented as Robert Hur made him out to be.

Seems like a normal interview actually.
Way to go GOP, you’re about to be embarrassed again.
This is pure inject-into-my-veins kind of stuff. Gotta love it.
