Jonathan Turley: There Was ‘Substantial’ Evidence for Charging Biden in Dismissed Classified Documents Case

EXCERPT:

TURLEY: “Well, I think that overall, the weight of the evidence in favor of charging was substantial. I think it explains why he had to emphasize the president’s lack of memory and how he might appeal to a jury. Because the evidence was not supportive of the president. I think that what was particularly damning in Hur’s testimony is his constant reference to facts where the president acknowledged he knew he had classified evidence, that he did the same conduct going back 40 years, and it does leave you with this question of why he then gets this level of deference. But I think it leaves the other obvious question, and that is why is the Department of Justice prosecuting Trump on the classification questions, as opposed to the obstruction questions. That’s what the Democrats kept on coming back to. But Trump obstructed. Well, yeah, you can prosecute on obstruction, but how you can reconcile these two cases, and one being prosecuted and the other not, I’m afraid is beyond me. The evidence seems very strong in terms of Joe Biden willfully retaining and quite frankly knowing that he did so.”
