Joe Biden, even though he did take and secrete away secret documents and such, will not be charged with any crime related to what are acts quite similar to those for which Donald Trump was charged with crimes.
In his report explaining his decision, Special Counsel Robert Hur said today that Biden was too far removed from reality for a jury to convict him of a crime.
In other words, Biden did it, Biden broke the law, but he is too mentally deficient for anyone to believe he either really did it on purpose or, after the fact, could possibly have remembered what he did, let alone pass along the information (of course, that does leave aside Hunter’s possible use of the documents but maybe that will come up in his tax case.)
The report read, in part, as follows:
“In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden’s memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’),” Hur wrote. “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.”
Because of his obvious inability to think coherently, Hur wrote that a jury would merely see a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” rather than be able to see him as an intentionally bad-acting criminal.
Putting on my public relations hat and warping myself into the White House, I will state clearly and succinctly: The administration would have preferred Biden be charged with a crime it could fight rather than be publicly outed as non compos mentis.
“How do we pull a crooked Biden across the finish line?” is a question his team has prepared for. “How do we drag a Biden who has been called a mental basket case by his own Department of Justice across the finish line?” is not.
The same goes for the Praetorian Media, which has steadfastly assured the nation that Joe is hale and hearty and at the top of his game. That becomes more difficult now, though outlets such as the AP, which glancingly mentions the issue in paragraph 30 of a 40-graf story, are already trying. NBC is toplining Biden’s own comments about why he was forgetful: he was dealing with Hamas.
That is not a terribly comforting defense as a president should be able to do two things at once, walk and chew gum, think about one thing, talk about another later that day.
“I didn’t change the baby because there was no gas in my car,” would be a similarly credible defense.
Hur did say that what Trump is charged with, if true, is worse, which the White House seized upon as neener-neener evidence.
Politically, this report would be catastrophic in a typical reality as it plainly states that Biden is suffering from some form of dementia … at best.
Since the media will memory-hole this ASAP (a bit of a problem for the Biden campaign because they will under no circumstance ever again mention Trump’s document charges) it may just fade away and not play a role in the campaign but … wait, kidding – the Trump campaign will beclunk Biden over and over with it as it plays directly into a Trump talking point.
But it shouldn’t have to – Joe Biden, no matter the politics, is simply mentally incapable to be President of the United States.
It’s been clear for years but it is now in writing.
It is not a debatable question anymore.
Yet, he still may get re-elected.
No, that can’t be true … let’s ask Joe!

THAT IS A BALD-FACED LIE!!!!
He has NEVER been "well-meaning".
Joe Biden has left a truth wreck at every step since 1987, as far back as I paid attention. It got a lot of attention in in 1988 from the establishment media.
p
Of course not
His ego and/or his idea that he is above the law wont let him...
He imagines himself as Machiavelli’s Prince...
Of course Biden knows why he wasn’t charged. It’s that capital letter at the end of his name.
Joe Biden, D
And we all know why Trump was charged. Wrong capital letter.
Donald Trump, R
Democrats are forcing the Republicans to invoke the 25th amendment and drag out getting rid of Biden, right up until the Democrat Convention. Don’t do it. He’s toast. Force Democrats to clean up their own mess. No one can support anything that Biden does now, but if Republicans try to get rid of him, they we circle around and drag out the removal from office.
Again, let Democrats clean up their own mess!
Does he even understand what that smelly lump in his pants is?
The 25th Amendment can only be invoked by the VP AND CABINET..............
Biden not charged... because he is mentally unfit to face criminal charges and to provide a defense. Yet he is fit to be the POTUS? Hardly...
Hey, he’s a nice old man who’s forgetful so we’re not going to put him in front of a jury. Same for all democrats.
Trump is a mean old man so he won’t have a jury either - the DOJ ‘knows’ no one likes him so they’ll just put him in prison without a trial. Same for all MAGA.
Biden and his ilk think he was exonerated because there are no charges, but it is not what the prosecutor said.
this is why Biden is so angry, because he thinks they are saying he is too old, not too corrupt.
I don't see the 25th being invoked. The current administration has been set up to allow its members plausible deniability through diffusion of accountability. Government by committee - shall we say "cabal"? Maybe "junta"? - is like that. What that does is prevent firm action from being taken in times of emergency due to no one being able (much less willing) to take the responsibility. Especially since, in this case, the responsibility will include putting Harris in office.

BTTT!!!
I didn’t know that! Thank you. So, there would be no delay? Then, I guess that they want Republicans to impeach him. That is still a no.
He lashed out because his pride was hurt. I guess he would rather face charges.
He was not exonerated.
He was deemed not worth the effort to prosecute on teh likelihood of a non-conviction due to the sympathy of a DC Jury................
That would be funny.
The Dems trying to disqualify Harris on the same rules as the Republicans were trying to use on Obama.
That would in effect tell everybody that Obama was not eligible as well....................
