Likely excuse for a half-century of corruption.

WASHINGTON — President Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials,” special counsel Robert Hur found in a bombshell report released Thursday — though Hur recommended against criminal charges, in part because a jury might view Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
Biden, 81, flouted legal restrictions on keeping sensitive documents throughout his 36 years in the Senate and eight years as vice president — stashing them in cardboard boxes in his garage in Wilmington, Del., and other locations, the 388-page report said, with photos showing Biden’s storage practices.
Investigators even uncovered a recording of Biden confiding in his ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer in April 2017, three months after leaving the vice presidency, that he still had official records because “I didn’t want to turn them in” — sounding similar to former President Donald Trump, who faces 40 criminal charges and up to 450 years in prison for resisting handing over documents after leaving the White House in 2021.
Zwonitzer also told Hur’s investigators that he deleted some audio files of Biden after the special counsel investigation began — and was aware of the probe when he did so.
“I’m not going to say how much of the percentage it was of my motivation,” the writer said, according to the report.
‘Elderly man with a poor memory’ Material mishandled by Biden involved the nation’s most guarded secrets, the report said, with authorities finding “information in [recovered] notebooks [that] remains classified up to the Top Secret level and includes Sensitive Compartmented Information, including from compartments used to protect information concerning human intelligence sources.”
But, perhaps most damaging for the president, Hur — a former Maryland US attorney — suggested that jurors would not hold Biden liable for his actions on account of his perceived mental decline, even though he is

Put me on the jury.
Haven’t the MSM been attacking Trump for being senile? So why doesn’t Trump get the same treatment?
They attacked Reagan too.
Likely excuse for a half-century of corruption.
That sounds like a 25th amendment issue then.
Gavin Greaseball and Big Mike are saying to themselves that funding the DOJ report was money well spent. Now those two can fight it out for the nomination at the DNC Convention.
Senility is not an excuse for jeopardizing the lives of every living American. This man must be removed NOW!

“He’s just a poor old sod”.
He’s been doing this since age 37...was he already senile then?
This entire report is so freakin damning on Biden its even worse than indicting him, its confirming what we already know about Biden, that he’s a demented buffoon who does NOT belong in the White House, period this report is the end of Joe Biden’s 2024 run, the only way he stands a chance is if the commie media in his pocket doesn’t say one peep about this and just says “Hey he was exonerated”
By painting Biden as an “elderly man with poor memory,” it appears that Hur is working hand in glove with those plotting to replace Biden at some point with another candidate (Newsome? Big Mike?).
another thought, Joe can’t remember so does that also mean he can’t remember if China paid him and for what? This just keeps getting more interesting!
Nobody will see any problem with having a man with “poor memory” with the nuclear codes
So they charged Trump because he’s not senile like Biden.
Sounds like a ringing endorsement.
“WHAT MONEY??” Lol!
Disgusting, how a POTUS was treated, yet a VP is with no authority to declassify is exempt because he’s from the socialist party.
Trump home was with planned MSM coverage and immediate calls for him to be severely punished. But crime boss Biden gets a pass.
It’s sickening.
The house needs to immediately schedule a hearing and call all those legal pundits who jabbered on TV or wrote articles calling for Trump’s removal through the 25th Amendment.
Get their “learned” opinions on Biden’s fitness.
