Ignore the Gaslighters on the Hur Report

And: addressing some public accommodation controversies.

Memory issues, ghost writers, and presidential prosecutions. Media outlets are cherry picking bits and pieces from the Hur Report on Biden’s handling of classified documents, but Sarah and David spend a full episode analyzing its legal standards and implications.

The Agenda:
—Disclosing biases
—Standards of evidence
—Biden’s too old
—Can we get the full recordings?
—No security clearance for the ghost writer
—Partisan brains reading the report
—“No Zionists Allowed” in a bookstore

Sarah Isgur is a senior editor at The Dispatch and is based in northern Virginia. Prior to joining the company in 2019, she had worked in every branch of the federal government and on three presidential campaigns. When Sarah is not hosting podcasts or writing newsletters, she’s probably sending uplifting stories about spiders to Jonah, who only pretends to love all animals.
