The full transcript undercuts Hur’s claims that Biden could not remember his son’s death and had “poor” memory
The full transcript of President Joe Biden’s five-hour interview with special counsel Robert Hur’s investigators “paints a more nuanced portrait” of Biden’s memory than the special counsel’s report, according to The Washington Post, which noted that “Biden doesn’t come across as being as absent-minded as Hur has made him out to be.”
The transcript “could raise questions about Hur’s depiction of the 81-year-old president as having ‘significant limitations’ on his memory,” according to The Associated Press.
Hur in his report declined to charge Biden, arguing that it would be difficult to convince a jury to convict with a memory that the special counsel described as “faulty” and “poor,” noting that Biden could not recall when his son Beau died or when he served as vice president.
But Biden said exactly when his son died in the interview.
This whole kerfuffle seems so stupid. Biden didn’t take any memory tests, didn’t get evaluated by a psychiatrist or any memory experts, and nobody authoritative on the topic of memory or brain function was involved.
A fair and accurate headline would have been “Republican lawyer thinks Biden is senile.” A republican has that opinion? Stop the fucking presses
Even “liberal” media in the US loves Trump and will print anything that might further the close race narrative, regardless of veracity.
Trump gets eyeballs on news, which directly leads to ad revenue. US media is addicted to Trump as a means of selling ad space and would gladly let the country burn down for a few extra ad sales.
Is there a law that’s been broke here, even if it’s just defamation or something? I’d love to see this asshole prosecuted.
there is a solid case of defamation.
He used a position of authority that’s supposed to have been neutral to create a false impression out of political motivations. never mind that it wasn’t his job and he’s not qualified in any case to make such an assessment.
Oh boy can’t wait to see this one slog its way through 32 courts over the next 19 years and end in an unsatisfactory conclusion a decade after all parties involved have already died
I’d settle for fired but this hack needs to face some consequences.
fired is just the first step. he needs to be investigated by somebody independent to see if his other decisions are also politically motivated as well as if there wasn’t any sort of corruption in this particular case.
And, anyone found to behaving in a corrupt manner needs to be dealt with in the appropriate manner. (I.E, jail time.)
