[The phrase “Indict a ham sandwich” is credited to Sol Wachtler, a NY State Chief Judge in 1988.]

It is a lesson that Robert K. Hur may have learned from former Special Counsel John Durham.

In the context of The Durham Report, Durham indicted Michael Sussman, an attorney at the Perkins Coie law firm with close ties to the Democrat Party, for pretending to be a good citizen by offering false information to the F.B.I. in 2016 about alleged Trump campaign links to a Russian bank.

In May 2022, a D.C. jury deliberated for six hours and found Sussman not guilty of making a false statement to the FBI. No surprise there.

Sussman’s defense team stated after his acquittal that: “Politics is no substitute for evidence, and politics has no place in our system of justice.”

Unfortunately, the Democratic Party governs justice in Washington, D.C. where, in the 2020 Presidential Election, Biden received 93% of the votes, and Trump 5.4%.

It’s a one-party town.

Here’s a key statement in the Executive Summary of The Hur Report wherein Hur states his unwillingness to support an indictment of Joe Biden:

Today, several Democrat members of Congress struggle mightily to defend the false notion that The Hur Report exonerates Joe Biden. Their claim doesn’t pass the smell test.

Biden broke multiple laws related to the security requirements concerning classified U.S. Government documents, but Hur concluded that a Washington D.C. jury would not convict Joe of intentional criminal behavior.

In a footnote, Hur cites this provision in the U.S. Department of Justice, Justice Manual section 9-27.220 – Grounds for Commencing or Declining Prosecution.

It reads, in part:

The chances of a D.C. jury convicting Joe Biden of committing crimes involving classified documents are—absolutely zero.

Washington D.C. is a one-party town. And it will remain so, until and unless the Republican Party (1) displays full-throated support if their party ever elects another President, and (2) increases their currently minimal efforts to take Congressional hearings, deliberations, and debates on the road, outside of the D.C. Beltway, to the broader nation and away from the Swamp.
