They woke up shortly after the new year and suddenly Merrick Garland was appointing a special counsel, Republican Robert Hur, to investigate the president. What gives? Tucker Carlson floated the idea that the documents mess is the beginning of the end for Joe Biden.

And now the headlines are rolling in. Democrats worry it will be Biden’s “Hillary emails moment.” The AP says that Biden’s political future is “clouded by classified document probe.” His chances of winning in 2024 are “getting more unlikely.”
