Letters to the Editor: I'm a psychiatrist. Lawyers shouldn't be assessing Biden's cognitive ability
LA Times ^ | February 12, 2024 | Sidney Weissman, M.D., Highland Park, Ill.

Justice Department special counsel Robert Hur has training in neither psychiatry nor neurology, yet he included an assessment of President Biden's cognitive functioning in his report declining to bring charges for mishandling classified information.

Memory assessment is a complex task and cannot be undertaken over five hours in interviews with attorneys.

Yes...

I get a real kick out of them trying to catch Trump in a
verbal stumble, considering they haven’t cared about
presence of mind for three years now.

Hur says Biden broke the law, and deliberately shared confidential information. Without the forgetful grandfather defense, Hur might have recommended charging.

It seems rather clear that Hur was working backwards from being threatened strongly cautoned to not recommend charges.

The Special Prosecutor did not make a medical assessment of Biden’s mental capabilities.

He made a legal assessment as to how the case would have to be proffered and how the defense would necessarily present the defendent

Ok, the base on this statement, Biden is competent to stand trial.

Why haven't we heard from Brandy Lee yet? She seems to be an "expert" on presidential cognitive assessment.

Interesting argument. The Constitution (Amendment 25) gives that power to a vice president (who is a bad lawyer) and a bunch of cabinet members (probably mostly lawyers and even worse, all radical-left-wing-politicians).

Not sure I see any power given to Shrinks in this regard.

“Letters to the Editor: I’m a psychiatrist.”

Anyone who thinks they can understand the human brain needs their head examined.

“sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man”

Only if tried in San Francisco, NY, or DC.

If tried in, say, Waco, they would see through the “well-meaning” crap in a moment.

This is a problem when all political persecutions are tried in cities with juries that would convict any Republican regardless of facts and law and would acquit any Democrat.

We need to start bringing frivolous criminal cases against Democrats in MAGA strongholds. Just make stuff up and put ‘em in jail.

Shrinks are so devoid of any common sense they should not diagnose anything.

They, the urologists, plastic surgeons, endocrinologists, pediatricians, and anesthesiologists who are promoting and profiting from child sex change should all lose their licenses.

I dare anyone to watch this five minute clip and be unable to evaluate Biden’s mental condition:
