4 Lies Joe Biden Spouted Off In Angry Special Counsel Press Conference
The Federalist ^ | 02/09/2024 | Tristan Justice

Posted on 02/09/2024 9:30:57 AM PST by SeekAndFind

President Joe Biden delivered a gaffe-filled speech in a prime-time press conference Thursday night where he peddled a series of lies debunked by Special Counsel Robert Hur.

Hours earlier, the special counsel published a nearly 400-page report outlining the conclusions of a year-long investigation into President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents. Prosecutors declined to charge the president in part because Biden is an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

“It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him by — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness,” Hur’s team wrote. Biden reportedly forgot when he was vice president and struggled with the timeline of his son’s death, “even within several years.”

Here are 4 lies the president shared throughout the 30-minute speech.

1. Biden Says He Did Not Share Classified Info with His Ghostwriter

Biden vehemently denied ever having shared classified material with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, who worked with the president on two memoirs. The bombshell report from a special counsel investigation, however, said Biden’s “disclosure of classified information from his notebooks to his ghostwriter risked serious damage to America’s national security.”

2. Biden Says Classified Documents Were Secured Within His Home

The president sought to distinguish his own case from charges levied against former President Donald Trump, who faces a 40-count indictment over allegations of mishandling classified documents. Prosecutors said the documents at Mar-a-Lago were recklessly stored and were discovered in the “ballroom, a bathroom and shower, and office space, his bedroom, and a storage room.”

“All the stuff that was in my home was in filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked,” Biden told reporters Thursday.

Hur’s report, however, said investigators found classified documents in the “garage, offices, and basement den” of Biden’s Delaware home.

“And the place where the Afghanistan documents were eventually found in Mr. Biden’s Delaware garage — in a badly damaged box surrounded by household detritus — suggests the documents might have been forgotten,” Hur’s report noted.

3. Biden Insists His Memory ‘Is Fine’

Biden insisted to reporters his memory is fine” in the same press conference that he confused the “president of Mexico” with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi when responding to a question about the situation in Gaza.

Biden also angrily fought back allegations that he confused the timeline of his son’s death, Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015.

“I don’t need anyone to remind me when he passed away,” Biden said.

The facts and circumstances surrounding Beau’s death have become one of the president’s most routinely botched lines in speeches across the country that even cable news commentators have repeated the false claim.

4. Biden Says None Of The Records Found In His Possession Were ‘High Classified’

The president denied any of the material found at his Delaware residence were “high classified.” The special counsel report, however, made clear that documents were discovered with “classification markings up to the Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information Level.”

It would be real news if Biden actually told the truth about something. Anything.

Biden can lie and cheat and sell out the United States for cash, diamonds and whores... and if we object or point out his lies or this filthy offspring the Gestapo will ‘take care of us.

We’ve seen this movie before...

I couldn’t sleep for two nights prior to an inspection of our secure documents facility.

One misfiled document was a failure.

Misfiled in a secure facility.

Hillary and Biden should be in prison.

I definitely believe that he should have been charged. A jury could’ve convicted him and sent him home. I don’t care if he’s not imprisoned; there are plenty of people who surround him that could go in his place.

“And THIS is the best person the democrats have to offer.”

Not the best. The only one that is in place to be a patsy when the roof falls in.

Expect some very high-level shenanigans at the Democrat (Socialist) National Convention in Chicago this August.

If we are lucky, we get a repeat of the 1968 DNC which also took place in Chicago, and ended up putting Nixon in the White House.

The Democrats then just could not get out of their own way.

Top Secret/SCI.

Usually also has codewords that define a particular program and any extra level of protection.

I used to deal with stuff every day. If I took ANY of it, even a single half page, I’d have been jailed, tried and convicted.

All of this is shameful! No justice for all in the USA.

He absolutely is the best democrats have to offer……he has given them EVERYTHING they have ever wanted and more. They picked an empty shell, cheated to get him in office and he became the Marxists Santa Claus.

Joe Biden has been doing such for 50 years

That’s why he was a natural selection for Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama.

The leftie echo chamber, though, will just repeat the lies.

Biden really does not know the difference between the truth and the lies. He only remembers what he was told 5 minutes ago. He was starting into the ‘reset’ phase of his disease, where he says the same thing over and over, after 20 minute resets. I have familial experience with dementia/alzheimer’s. I suspect his degradation to be more rapid now. They can slow it down with drugs, but I suspect they have been doing that for sometime. This is endtime for him.

The Democrats definitely want to replace Biden, but the problem is they have no likeable candidates on their bench and how do they explain making a change this late after pretending Biden was fine.

Does any of this really matter? Because I don’t see what is going to stop a repeat of 2020 where the DNC will stuff the ballot box in the swing states until they get their desired outcome. What has the GOP done in the last four years to combat voter fraud and rampant cheating?

The answer to me looks like nothing.

I think the lies should be part of the conversation around this devastatingly bad presser. Not only is he demented and has goof ups, he is a liar. It's a mess.

Sounds like these RAT “prosecutors” think Pappy Bidenskyyyyyy is too old to be president. We’ve been saying that for the past four years. If the bass turd was a dinosaur, he’d be a 55 gallon drum full of oil right now.
