Sorry, the only thing I can recall about Toobin jerkin’ off on a conference call. And he is there ‘expert’? In what, KY Jelly?
Even actual defective memory should not be an avoid prison card when no possible justification could be offered up.
I am the last one to cut Biden any slack, but the “president of Mexico” thing is no big deal. He was clearly talking about the Middle East and he got the name right, but flubbed it with Mexico, and let’s face it, Mexico is on everyone’s mind.
What people should be focusing on is the “well-intended, elderly man with memory problems” who happens to be president and wants a second term and how the investigators used that as an excuse for letting him get away with keeping the documents illegally.
Where did it come from?? Has Toobin been watching him for the past four years? Biden does this all the time. Its not new.
Well, Very MUCH more than Joe will remember.
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!”
The original SNL would have had a field day with this Mexico gaffe.
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.
The only question is who will be his replacement.
And there is only one thing viewers will remember for the rest of eternity about Jeffrey Toobin

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...
I get frustrated... I raised 5 kids, and had grandkids in my home a lot. I learned to cope and keep going.. They all turned out well. But.. Dealing with the ABSOLUTE mess in Washington today, with grown adults.. How much DUMB can they live with.
Keeping track of the news.. The “DUMB” they exhibit every day all day.. Wears me out..
Biden in..losing grip, they kept pretending.. Like we didn’t notice his thinker was off.. Way off. They are trying to compare with Trump. Sell the dummies out here another tale.. See if they bite..
LOOK.. YOU WERE WRONG THEN. AND YOU ARE WRONG NOW.
You are in a mess of your own making.. Deceiving, lying, using, destroying, stealing, that is your life and legacy.
Trump came to serve.. To help. To save this nation and stand with the people. He is still standing... Thank you!
No, I will remember and never forget how Joe Biden stole the Presidency and destroyed my future, my life and my country. I will never forget or forgive what has been done to me, its personal. I commit to work for payback, whatever it takes for the rest of my life.
It’s not the only thing; how about not needing anyone’s help to remember when Beau died (except that he got it wrong), and him always wearing his son’s rosary that he got from the Sisters of the…. … … …. … …
SORRY, TOOBIN-—
THERE CERTAINLY IS CRIMINAL INTENT:
BIDEN EVER LEGALLY HAD THE RIGHT TO HAVE ANY OF SUCH DOCUMENTS——
HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT THEN——NOT HIS TERRITORY-—
HE CERTAINLY NEVER HAD THE RIGHT TO “SHARE” WITH HIS GHOST WRITER
THAT IS THE MOST BASIC FACT IN THIS WHOLE MESS.
No reasonable attorney….
Is Toobin citing Scottish law. ?
