You never know with Special Counsels

This is why it’s not something you should want. We don’t know anything a out the Special Counsel in the Biden case except that Trump appointed him as US Attorney. And this is not reassuring:

At the Justice Department, Hur worked with Rosenstein on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the former deputy attorney general told CNN.

Hur “was my point person and he had biweekly meetings with Mueller’s team and then briefed me on the progress of the Russian special counsel investigation,” Rosenstein said. “So he has seen that firsthand and he knows that you need not to be influenced by politics and make decisions based on fact and the law and the Department of Justice policy, and I think we can count on Rob to do that.”

Rosenstein added: “Rob, like a lot of people I worked with at DOJ, believes it is important to engage in public service and feels a sense of responsibility. So it is hard to say ‘no’ when someone calls on you to do what you know is going to be a an unpleasant job.”

While serving as a top aide to Rosenstein, Hur also appeared at a Trump White House press conference in July 2017, touting the administration’s efforts to crack down on the notorious MS-13 gang. The appearance at the White House press briefing podium was unusual as DOJ generally seeks to keep a distance from the White House on matters that could be seen as political in nature.
