Former special counsel Robert K. Hur is telling lawmakers he had to assess President Biden’s state of mind when explaining why he won’t seek to prosecute Biden for possessing classified documents after his vice presidency.
Hur found evidence Biden willfully retained sensitive materials but promptly returned it and did not obstruct the investigation. He predicted a jury would view Biden sympathetically, as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Republicans are focused on that description, pressing Hur on why he didn’t charge Biden, when former president Donald Trump has been charged with keeping classified material and obstructing efforts to retrieve it. Democrats are stressing the many differences between the Trump and Biden cases.
Would everyone be willing to concede that Biden wasn’t telling the truth during his press conference with regard to Hur bringing up Beau?Report
NO – I’d say the published narratives track pretty well with his PC statements.Report
Even AP is calling Biden’s statement “inaccurate”.

I know that they’re going to end up weakening social security because the country is weak. And let’s take a look at outside of the stock market, are, we’re going through hell. People are going through hell. If they have and I believe the number is 50%. They say 32 and 33%. I believe we have a cumulative inflation of over 50%, that means people are, you know, they have to make more than 50% more over a fairly short period of time to stay up. They’ve gotten routed. The middle class in our country has been routed and the middle class largely built our country and they have been treated very, very badly with policy. ”
I can see why people are concerned.Report
