I suspect that the WH concluded that it would be better to have the unredacted report come out now, rather than leaking piecemeal closer to the election. Garland’s mistake was appointing Hur in the first place. Why are the special counsels always republicans?

That's the new rule: Democrats get investigated by Republicans, and Republicans get investigated by........other Republicans. Gee, sounds fair to me /s.
I agree, KR. I thought at the time it was a mistake to appoint Hur as special counsel. Is it that Dems bend over backwards to appear to be playing fair? Or perhaps Garland was thinking Republicans would not accept the special counsel's report if it had been done by a Democrat? I don't know, but it was a bad decision for whatever reason.
Maybe when there is an important matter of potentially partisan or political nature in future it should be investigated by three Special Counsels or Prosecutors, one from each party and one avowed independent, and the report signed off by all or, as with other legal cases in which there is disagreement among the judges, have an opinion (can hardly call this piece of dreck a "report", due to obvious bias) written by each, laying out facts and conclusions.
You've got that right. I hope the first thing Biden does when he starts his second term is to fire Casper Milquetoast. He has been a disaster as AG. While Jack Smith has been a brilliant choice, it should’ve been made much earlier but dithering Milquetoast was too busy avoiding the awful truth of Trump‘s traitorous actions.
Well KR, certainly on the surface, to avoid the appearance of being biased. Let's also face the unfulfilling fact that many of those (R)'s we term "maga-t's" are sincere in their beliefs (regarding #45, etc). And, to accuse them of being unpatriotic is not a nice thing to do..., like who are we? So, "appearance" counts, bigly.

Good suggestion, Lynn.
That sounds about right, Carol.

Exactly, Madrussian. But the other side doesn’t even pretend to be interested in impartiality - either the perception or the reality of it.
