I bet this was a very close call, based only on legal precedent.
And a lack of "intent," obviously.
Special Counsel Robert Hur, who is investigating President Joe Biden for mishandling documents, is not expected to charge anyone, sources familiar with the matter told CNN and the Wall Street Journal.
The report suggests a double standard of justice. While there will reportedly be no consequences for Biden, Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted former President Donald Trump in June for mishandling classified documents.
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Hur in January to investigate Biden after classified documents from his time as vice president in Barack Obama's administration were found in his possession at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC, and at his Wilmington, Delaware, home.
Hur was among those at the Justice Department who had knowledge about the Russia hoax perpetrated against former President Donald Trump.
Hur will reportedly issue a report on his investigation that could be made public by the end of the year.

Joe Biden is going to skate on the classified docs.
As I wrote in BREAKING BIDEN, Joe's handling of the materials was FAR worse than anything Trump did, so of course his own corrupt machine let him off the hook.
There are (at least) two systems of justice in this country.
