Who investigated President Bidens mishandling of classified documents, a man named robert hur is grilled by House Members on the capitol. Concluding nothing President Biden did was worthy of prosecution, but that did not stop republicans in congress from making a fourhour circus out of mr. Hurs testimony today. Thats because todays hearing wasnt actually about matters of law. It was about scoring political points. The only reason Joe Biden Accidently taking classified documents with him when he left office, and the only reason that matters at all is because donald trump woefully, willfully, purposely took documents with him when he left office and then tried to obstruct justice to cover it o all up. These two cases are not the same, but just dont take my word for that. Here is Special Counsel hur reading from his own rt on the matter. Unlike the evidence involving mr. Biden, the allegations set forth in the indictment of mr. Trump if proven would present serious aligating facts. Keep g
Laura ingraham. Trump thompson, biden bump. Thats the focus of tonights angle. Gsh now, just for fun, i went back to read what some of the experts were saying in the weeks and months after the 2020 election. A politico headline blared the day that trump broke the g. O. P. Well, it predicted a reckoning over trumpism. And then trump is finally finished the New York Times declared triumphantly. Okay. Surely all those experienced beltway pundits got it right though. The demise of trump and there will be a demise, you got it from me here. The trial alone, even without a conviction, will be enough to end Donald Trumps political career.

That doesnt mean he will still be here as serious in two years. Laura Last Night After trump won every Super Tuesday contest except in the socialist loving open primary state of vermont, they still couldnt get their minds
Thank you for joining us. Do you remember when the right wing freaked out about bud light . They really freaked out about bud light. They were shooting bud light cans. They were hitting bud light cans with baseball bats. Tt rghh they were setting up towers of bud light cans to use as practice at republican day lincoln dinners. The right was very, very upset about bud light. S they were so mad. In florida, republican governorm ron desantis got so excited about it, he ordered an official Florida State investigation into bud light. In congress, House Republicans started their own federal congressional investigation of bud light. They have spent the better part of the past year on this.

That suggests the rest of the world is buying less stuff. The value of imports also fell by more than expected, down 12. 4 onjuly a year ago. But that partly reflects a fall in the price of commodities such as crude oil. The figures will concern chinas government, who are grappling with economic growth. The quarterly Growth Figure was just 0. 8 in the april tojune period, as the country continued its post covid recovery. And last month, chinas struggles were cited as a key concern for the Global Economy when the International Monetary fund updated its Global Growth forecast for this year to 3 . David woo is a former imf economist and wall street strategist and has been telling me what he makes of the numbers. You know, like some people are going to say, well, this is just basically a reflection of the curren

The federal judge overseeing trumps Election Fraud case has responded to a court filing from special counsel jack smith that came in last night. Smith wants a protective order after trump posted this social media message late last night. It says, if you go after me, im coming after you. Smith wants the judge to limit trump and his legal team in terms of what they publicly discuss about the sensitive evidence in the case. And the judge has now given the trump team until 5 00 p. M.
