Even Without Recommending Criminal Charges, What the Hur Report Says About Joe Biden Is Devastating
redstate ^ | 2/8/2024 | Nick Arama

Special Counsel Robert Hur might not be recommending criminal charges for Joe Biden as we reported earlier, but the report is devastating all the same.

We also reported earlier in the week how the Biden team was worried about the reaction to what would come out, and now I see why. They should be worried. The report not only eviscerates Biden, but it blows open the double standard yet again compared to how they're treating him versus how they're treating former President Donald Trump.

First, it should be noted that Hur found that Biden willfully retained and even disclosed classified materials.

"Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. These materials included (1) marked classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, and (2) notebooks containing Mr. Biden's handwritten entries about issues of national security and foreign policy implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods. FBI agents recovered these materials from the garage, offices, and basement den in Mr. Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home."

Not just willfully retained, but also disclosed them, too--unlike Trump.

It gets better. Why is Biden getting a pass? He's an "elderly man with a poor memory."

It’s only devastating for those who can actually read. Do you think any Obama phone recipient will ever hear about this?

Well, he’s done with the press conference and didn’t resign. We dodged a bullit there. And, of course you’re right about “Moochelle.”

This is all about getting rid of Biden who doesn’t want to go. Garland could have redacted or even withheld the report, but they put it out there to embarrass Biden and put him on the defensive. They knew he’d have a press conference to deny a report saying he is an old man with a bad memory and act just like an old man with a bad memory who also looks like hell, can’t control his temper, and yells at people.

Way to go Joe. Tomorrow how about aiming at the other foot?

In other words,

Joe Biden is incapacitated!

Yet no one has addressed the elephant in the room that Joe had classified material from his days in the Senate and as Vice President, but had no legal reason to possess them. Mental state or not, he literally stole classified material.

Biden in his statement tonight said the prosecutor was wrong, and that he never said Biden willfully did anything, that he lied about Biden’s memory problems. Mark Levin pointed out that Biden when asked about Gaza, said he told the president of Mexico that he’s giving aid to Gaza. He named the president of Egypt, not Mexico. Tonight, he confused the president of Egypt with the president of Mexico. He also denied that he couldn’t remember when his son died or when he was vice president.

They were testing his capacity to face a trial and concluded he was an old man with a failing memory. That explains their questions that he raged about tonight as being inappropriate. Biden lied and blamed others for the fact that there were classified documents dumped in his garage, house, etc. He knew nothing about it, he says. Those were his excuses tonight. What a pathetic, disgusting creep he is.

But he wasn’t an elderly man with poor memory when he took the documents unlawfully when he was a Senator or Vice President. Why isn’t this point being made. It’s not like he just took the documents yesterday.

He wasn’t a dementia patient when he was a Senator of VP when he committed the crimes.

Biden has a pass now so he can resign. He’s free as a bird and guilty as hell. Also they can still go after Trump based on the fact Trump isn’t mentally a vegetable.

It’s a win win for the democrat party.

The only problem might be that Biden will resist resigning.

I’ve signed DOZENS of liability acknowledgement affidavits regarding classified information all the way up to TS/SCI.

NONE of them mentioned anything about being old or having a bad memory. All of them carried penalties of a minimum 5 years (now 10, IIRC) and hefty fines.

The gravity of his reckless handling can be summed up in the description about what Top Secret information is: “information if released that could cause exceptionally grave damage to the US.”

So it begins. Laying the framework for him to step down and make way for M. Obama.

I agree. This memory and age thing are nothing but leftist accommodations and distractions.

Trumps attorney’s should be burning the midnight oil demanding dismissal of everything that Jack Smith has Charged him with.
