To add to article[edit]

To add to this article: Hur's Korean name (in hangul/hanja). Is it 로버트 경 허? 76.190.213.189 (talk) 02:52, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is 허경. 149.101.1.115 (talk) 21:54, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that it makes sense to write his name in Korean. He was born in America and is an American. In the article about Ilhan Omar her name is also not written in Arabic. The middle name in Hur's passport is Kyoung, not 허경.

From first sentence of executive summary of "Report on the Investigation Into Unauthorized Removal, Retention, and Disclosure of Classified Documents Discovered at Locations Including the Penn Eiden Center and the Delaware Private Residence of President Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Special Counsel Robert K. Hur "

"We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter. 1 We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.37.29.172 (talk) 20:52, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parents[edit]

Article states that his parents are "South Korean". Were they immigrants? In this case, it would be correct to state that they were US citizens hailing from South Korea. --Bernardoni (talk) 01:52, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to add that the quote about biden’s memory is false. Hur didn’t say Biden is a well meaning elderly old man with a poor memory. What he said was that he wouldn’t bring charges because Biden would PORTRAY HIMSELF as such. Big difference. He didn’t claim Biden is those things. He merely said that is how he portrayed himself in depositions, and in trial if he portrayed himself as such again(whether it is true or an act) it would make it hard to prosecute him.

Please fix. 73.194.244.115 (talk) 10:52, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since when a lawyer has shy away from a trial? I will call Robert Hur a coward lawyer, it took him one page to let us know that Biden would not be prosecuted and the remaining of the huge report, to alienate Biden. What a poor and sad piece of crap! 142.112.200.16 (talk) 13:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@142.112.200.16 I fully agree! Hur needs to keep his personal assumptions to himself and be a true jurist, not a unwanted Justice Department Trump biased advocate. 189.169.36.252 (talk) 15:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the Biden White House interns have infiltrated this talk page. Exzachary (talk) 19:41, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More like you’re a Robert K. Hur fan in spite of his partisanship.Russell Lieber (talk) 20:46, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Clerkship[edit]

Hur clerked for Judge Alex Kozinski for two years, a poisonous atmosphere, given Kozinski's burying the allegations against Judge Cebull, the sexual harassment, the distribution of bestiality porn, etc, etc to which he indulged himself. How can this be disregarded? What's wrong with calling Kozinski "controversial?" Activist (talk) 22:11, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

None of that has anything to do with Hur, and as far as I'm aware there are no allegations that Hur knew about or participated in any of it. MOS:CONTROVERSIAL specifically tell us not to refer to people as "controversial". WP:GUILT says At a minimum, there should be reliable sources showing a direct relationship between the conduct of the third parties and the conduct of the subject (i.e. a nexus), or that the subject knew or should have known about and could have prevented the conduct of the third parties. We don't have any sources linking Hur to the allegations against Kozinski. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 22:43, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mother's family's origin in North Korea[edit]

In his testimony before the U.S. Congress on March 12, 2024, Hur stated that his mother's family originated in North Korea. 98.123.38.211 (talk) 14:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
