The commentariat is percolating misinformation about today’s House Judiciary Committee testimony by former Biden Justice Department special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated President Biden’s decades of illegally retaining classified intelligence and opted not to recommend an indictment.

To wit, with Hur having officially ended his DOJ service on Monday, the Independent’s Michael Feinberg claims that he has colluded with “Trumpworld figures” to testify as a private citizen, uninhibited by DOJ rules, so that he can cast President Biden in a more unflattering light.
