No mention. To be fair to Trump, he relied on establishment GOP "conservative" think tanks for recommendations to the hundreds of appointees and assignments he made. Hur was one of a group of seven appointments he announced that day. It looks like Trump "stole" Hur from Rosenstein before the Russia investigation got too far along. Strategery.
MARYLAND NEWS Trump Nominates Justice Official As Maryland's U.S. Attorney Baltimore NOVEMBER 1, 2017 / 11:47 AM / CBS BALTIMORE
BALTIMORE (AP) — President Donald Trump has nominated a Justice Department official as Maryland's new U.S. attorney. Strategery.
Robert Hur is among seven U.S. attorney nominations the White House announced Wednesday.
Hur is currently principal associate deputy attorney general and a top aide to U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, whom Hur would replace as Maryland's federal prosecutor.
A White House statement says Hur was formerly a partner with King & Spalding in Washington, where he focused on government investigations and complex litigation. He's also a former assistant federal prosecutor in Maryland. From 2007 to 2014, Hur prosecuted gang violence, drug trafficking, firearm offenses and white-collar crimes.
Hur, a graduate of Harvard University and Stanford law school, clerked for the late William Rehnquist, chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Sadly, most of those "conservative"" think tanks are Globalist - and that includes Heritage - Show me what in the heck Heritage's election expert, Spakovsky, did to help election integrity, and I'll show you a boozeless Pelosi.
I hope you are right, that Trump put Hur in place as part of a bigger strategy,

You and me both.
Today, Kash Patel's saying that Hur should be called as the first special counsel witness. Interesting.
