The man charged with investigating why Joe Biden had classified documents in his garage once urged the Department of Justice to suppress information about a government raid on an FBI and Clinton Foundation whistleblower, a resurfaced report reveals.
Maryland U.S. Attorney Robert Hur requested that the Department of Justice keep secret the justification for an FBI raid on a Clinton Foundation whistleblower in 2018, according to a report from that time published by the Daily Caller.
According to a December 7, 2018 letter penned by Hur sent to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Hur sought to conceal documents from public view.
Allowing the public access to these documents would have “potentially” revealed whether the federal government and judge involved “knew that the subject was, according to his lawyer, a recognized whistleblower” blowing the whistle on the FBI’s alleged failure to properly investigate the Clinton Foundation.

The subject of the raid was former FBI contractor employee Nathan Dennis Cain, who reportedly possessed documents that “showed that federal officials failed to investigate potential criminal activity regarding former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and the Russian company that purchased Uranium One.”
According to the Daily Caller report, Hur failed to invoke national security concerns, claim that Cain possessed classified information, or report Cain’s status as a protected whistleblower in his letter to the Maryland court.
Hur claimed in his 8-page letter that public knowledge of the justification for the Clinton Foundation whistleblower FBI raid would “seriously jeopardize the integrity of the ongoing investigation.”

“Making this type of information public while this investigation is ongoing could harm the government’s ability to find additional relevant evidence,” Hur stated, claiming that his office wanted to prevent the “possible tampering of witnesses and destruction of evidence, and to maintain the ability of the grand jury to investigate this matter.”
Hur added that “unsealing would expose details of the government’s investigation and impact the government’s ability to secure charges in this matter.”
Biden administration Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday announced that Hur will be assigned as Special Counsel to investigate Joe Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Prior to being named Special Counsel, Hur was reportedly a top aide to former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and special assistant to then-Assistant Attorney General, now-FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Today it was revealed that more documents were found in his garage, where the 80-year-old stores his Corvette.
