President Joe Biden’s personal attorney said Sunday he went to both the special counsel and the attorney general to register concerns over what he viewed to be pejorative and unnecessary digs at the president’s memory.
“This is a report that went off the rails,” Bob Bauer said on CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday. “It’s a shabby work product.”
The special counsel was investigating whether the president mishandled classified documents during his previous positions as vice president and senator, and found this week that no criminal charges were warranted.
But in building his argument for why no charges were necessary, Special Counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, detailed in part that Biden’s defense of any potential charges could possibly be that: “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
“Poor memory” he probably answered a ton of incriminating questions with “I don’t recall.” Just like any sane person. Selectively forgetting only the points they don’t have evidence for demonstrates great mental clarity. Neither side can just say that though.
It’s not like Republicans,and their shills, didn’t give a free pass to Ronald Reagan, Trump and his family when the “couldn’t remember” hundreds of times - those folks have very poor memories themselves.
