W.H.’s Ian Sams: ‘Totally Inappropriate’ for Special Counsel Hur to Include Biden’s Memory in His Report

‘You can make the point without talking about that’

EXCERPT:

SAMS: “And so anybody who has even a familiarity with the president understands the personal nature of this and that he would talk about his son Beau and the impact that he had on the work that he was pursuing after his vice presidency on the book and on the cancer work. And I think that the American people can see clearly that the president doesn‘t need a reminder as to when his son died. He says right there, May 30th.  This is something that the president carries with him every single day, the memory of losing his son. Families across this country understand the power of loss and grief and the way that that impacts someone. And this is a president who's taken that loss and grief and turned it into purpose. And I think it just goes to show again how outrageous it was for that to even be included in this report. And don‘t take just my word for it. Former attorney general, former deputy attorney general, former Justice Department prosecutors, senior officials, all came out in the aftermath of this report and said this is totally inappropriate. You can make the point without talking about that. So it just shows how outrageous it was for that to be included in the final report."
