The White House and Democrats continue to desperately spin the findings in the special counsel report about Joe Biden and the classified documents he'd been storing in his garage and elsewhere.
The ace newshounds at NBC have even spotted a "surprising finding" behind the distractions from Hur about Biden and his mental acuity that appears to be foggier than the Grand Banks:
NBC News (@NBCNews) ~ The controversy over special counsel Robert Hur’s characterization of President Biden’s memory has obscured one of the most surprising findings in his report – that Biden knowingly kept classified materials at home for years and failed to turn them in.

Wow, nothing gets by NBC News!
Don Carter (@d1carter) ~ Wasn’t that the reason for the Special Counsel?
Yes, and if "journalists" would like to know who has helped obscure things they should go look in a mirror.
IT Guy (@ITGuy1959) ~ No, it wasn’t “obscured” from normal people. We noticed. We noticed the blatant hypocrisy after Biden himself asked “How could anyone be that irresponsible?” We noticed the two systems of justice. The only people “obscured” are national media. By design.
Greg Price (@greg_price11) ~ Biden on 60 Minutes in September reacting to classified documents being found at Mar-a-Lago:
"How does that happen? How could anyone be that irresponsible."

The two-tiered justice system certainly hasn't been successfully "obscured" either!
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ {Replying to @NBCNews} That wasn't a surprising finding. It was literally the reason for the Special Counsel.
Would you also be surprised to learn that Biden took documents as a VP - with no authorization authority? WOW, right!
Vanessa (@Nessakins_) ~ Oh now you guys wanna talk about it? We’ve known this for months.
Apparently, the elephant in the room has been growing at such an exponential rate that even the DNC propagandists at NBC are having a hard time ignoring it.
We might even hear more about it from the media as Biden becomes increasingly politically expendable for the Democrats.
Meanwhile, Biden adviser Ian Sams still isn't satisfied with the media -- NBC News in this instance. How's this for a desperate spin attempt?
Ian Sams (@IanSams46) ~ The sustained failure of the media to accurately report on the Special Counsel report is alarming
This is false. The report concluded there was NOT a case of knowing and willful retention. If it had found what NBC says, there would be charges.
For the umpteenth time, I explain:
Good grief ... the boy can't even read.
Here ... let's make it easy on ya, Ian ... from Hur's Executive Summary of the report:
"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen."
And, even when he was Vice President, he did NOT have to authority to declassify any of it, either.
The only reason Hur decided not to prosecute Biden was because he clearly presented himself to be a drooling, cross-eyed vegetable who doesn't even know what planet he's on.
The report said charges weren't going to be recommended because the special counsel didn't think Biden would essentially be seen as competent to stand trial. Gee, it's a good thing somebody like that isn't President of the United States! Oh, wait ...

James Lynch (@jameslynch32) ~ The White House is desperately trying to instruct journalists on how to cover the Hur report in a nicer way and are growing increasingly frustrated that the pressure tactics aren’t working.
As usual, Sams is being dishonest and wants the media to join him (many will be happy to do just that).
