Anchor Jen Psaki stated, “I need to get to that. I need to begin with Robert Hur’s report. What’s your total response to that report?”
Schiff stated, “As a former federal prosecutor, my response was Robert Hur couldn’t make a authorized case in opposition to Joe Biden so he determined to make a political case in opposition to Joe Biden. What he did was willful, that’s, Robert Hur.. What he did was deliberate, and what he did he knew would harm Joe Biden clip politically and gratified Donald Trump. It was a political choice that flies within the face of what Division of Justice coverage is. I can inform you this, if Robert Hur had been a line prosecutor, he can be disciplined or fired. You don’t try this. You set out, okay, we are able to convey a case or we are able to’t. However gratuitously involving your self in gran election marketing campaign, actually, throughout a marketing campaign, to make each effort not do something suggesting politics, what he did was fairly deliberate, and damaging and in addition simply plain false.”
He continued, “To make a political assault, that’s simply hackery by Mr. Hur.”
