Who the hell is this guy Robert Hur?

The trouble with politics today is that there is no longer any respect. For anyone. Whether you are a president, a prime minister or a political grandee, all are open to abuse. Take this Robert Hur bloke. He is given the huge responsibility as a special counsel to examine whether Joe Biden committed a criminal offence by storing some classified documents in his garage when he was vice president. After months of investigation he came to the conclusion that Biden should not be charged with anything. If it had ended there it would have been professional and appropriate and common sense. But this Republican lawyer couldn't resist kicking Biden in the painful parts by casting aspersions on his mental acuity and doubted whether any jury would find guilty a president who couldn't even remember the day his son, Beau, died. Bloody rude, I say, and wholly unprofessional and unnecessary and disrespectful and patronising. Mever mind that he is the president of the United States. Just kick him where it hurts. Biden might not remember which day of the week it was when his son died but you as sure as hell know he remembers that terrible moment when he was told he had lost his son. So for this bloke Hur to joke about the president's inability to recall precisely when his son died is pretty atrocious. The US Justice Department which employs this person should eiher severely reprimand him for stepping way out of line or sack him for gross verbal misconduct.
