CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Thursday on “Anderson Cooper 360” that voters will remember President Joe Biden calling Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi “the president of Mexico” in a press conference where he was addressing his age and memory after Special Counsel Robert Hur decided not to charge the president for keeping classified documents.
Hur said Biden was an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Toobin said, “Mexico? Mexico? Where did that come from? I mean, that’s the only thing anyone is going to remember from this. You know, he was exonerated here, and I think it’s an easy call that he was exonerated, and I think legally he’s never had a problem with this because the issue of criminal intent was quite clearly absent in the Biden case and, certainly according to the accusations in the Jack Smith indictment, is very much present in the Trump case. I think they are very different and the report even spelled this out. But Mexico? I mean, politically, how do you explain that?”

That was probably it! : )
that is why toobin highlighted the mexico thing even though biden has done that many many times
toobin wanted to cover for his obvious EXONERATION lie
“He was exonerated”.
No he was not exonerated. Words mean things.
What they said is that his mental faculties are too far gone to convict, or somesuch specious BS “reasoning”. “No reasonable prosecutor” has now expanded to include “No reasonable jury”, etc. Hur cut him the best deal that could be had under the circumstances.
There is no scenario where at any time he ever lawfully held those documents. “Intent” has absolutely nothing to do with it. Apparently a new, heretofore unknown legal doctrine has emerged from the emanations and penumbras -
“If His Brain is Shit, You Must Acquit!”
“And all of this sure begs the question as to why is Trump being prosecuted for issues of classified documents and Biden is not.”
Trump still can’t remember the alleged Carroll incident which a jury ruled occurred.
Biden may have recall problems, but Trump apparently has had a total recall failure.
“Liberal media”
That is redundant.
The original SNL would have had a field day with this Mexico gaffe.
I’m surprised they haven’t used the “Mexico and Egypt are both just big deserts anyway so what’s the big deal?” excuse......and they may very well yet.
It certainly is a big deal. He came out livid with an unscheduled presser to try and claim that his brain isn’t fried. That’s on him.
Everyone is so terrified of having “BJ” Harris assume the Presidency, I propose that the smart tactic for the puppet masters is to have Harris resign so that the demented Biden can appoint Newsom, Big Mike, or Hitlery to succeed. I wonder what the betting line in Vegas is on that possibility?
Hold it, Jeffrey! Everyone knows the George W Bush is President of Mexico.
Hold it, Jeffrey! Everyone knows the George W Bush is President of Mexico.
Both got brown people, and pyramids.
Easy mistake to make.
The only question is who will be his replacement.
I think his claims that he recently talked to Miterrand and Kolb a much bigger deal.
Interesting times that we live in. I thank God that He is in control, and the only being capable of understanding what is going on - all according to His plans.
Whoops! Kohl, not Kolb.
And there is only one thing viewers will remember for the rest of eternity about Jeffrey Toobin
WIKI
Pinochet was indicted on 1 December 2000 for the kidnapping of 75 opponents in the Caravan of Death case.[180] Guzmán advanced the charge of kidnapping as the 75 were officially “disappeared”: even though they were all most likely dead, the absence of their corpses made any charge of “homicide” difficult.
In July 2002, the Supreme Court dismissed Pinochet’s indictment in the various human rights abuse cases, for medical reasons (vascular dementia). The debate concerned Pinochet’s mental faculties, his legal team claiming that he was senile and could not remember, while others (including several physicians) claimed that he was affected only physically but retained all control of his faculties. The same year, the prosecuting attorney Hugo Guttierez, in charge of the Caravan of Death case, declared, “Our country has the degree of justice that the political transition permits us to have.”[181]
Pinochet resigned from his senatorial seat shortly after the Supreme Court’s July 2002 ruling. In May 2004, the Supreme Court overturned its precedent decision, and ruled that he was capable of standing trial. In arguing their case, the prosecution presented a recent TV interview Pinochet had given to journalist Maria Elvira Salazar[182] for a Miami-based television network, which raised doubts about his alleged mental incapacity.[183][184] In December 2004, he was charged with several crimes, including the 1974 assassination of General Prats and the Operation Colombo case in which 119 died, and was again placed under house arrest. He suffered a stroke on 18 December 2004.[185] Questioned by his judges in order to know if, as president, he was the direct head of DINA, he answered: “I don’t remember, but it’s not true. And if it were true, I don’t remember.”[186]
In January 2005, the Chilean Army accepted institutional responsibility for past human rights abuses.[187] In 2006, Pinochet was indicted for kidnappings and torture at the Villa Grimaldi detention center by judge Alejandro Madrid (Guzmán’s successor),[188] as well as for the 1995 assassination of the DINA biochemist Eugenio Berrios, himself involved in the Letelier case.[189] Berrios, who had worked with Michael Townley, had produced sarin, anthrax and botulism in the Bacteriological War Army Laboratory for Pinochet; these materials were used against political opponents. The DINA biochemist was also alleged to have created black cocaine, which Pinochet then sold in Europe and the United States.[190] The money for the drug trade was allegedly deposited into Pinochet’s bank accounts.[191] Pinochet’s son Marco Antonio, who had been accused of participating in the drug trade, in 2006 denied claims of drug trafficking in his father’s administration and said that he would sue Manuel Contreras, who had said that Pinochet sold cocaine.[192][193]
On 25 November 2006, Pinochet marked his 91st birthday by having his wife read a statement he had written to admirers present for his birthday:
Today, near the end of my days, I want to say that I harbour no rancour against anybody, that I love my fatherland above all and that I take political responsibility for everything that was done which had no other goal than making Chile greater and avoiding its disintegration ... I assume full political responsibility for what happened.[194][195][196]
Two days later, he was again indicted and ordered preliminary house arrest on charges of kidnapping and murder of two bodyguards of Salvador Allende who were arrested the day of the 1973 coup and executed by firing squad during the Caravan of Death.[197][198]
Pinochet died a few days later, on 10 December 2006, without having been convicted of any of the crimes of which he was accused.

No, Biden was not exonerated. He was found to be incompetent to stand trial. He was exonerated, like John Hinkley was exonerated.
only a complete idiot truly believes this drooling old fool is fit for office...
