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.”

    sounds like the kind of thinking the Democrats want you saying

    that is the crux both parties using the same lines both full of themselves

    football politics with no meat on either Canidate’s resume

    where are any candidates that run based on their past accomplishments that helped society in some way or just something other than “we are not that other party and it is the other party’s fault we are underwhelming in every way possible”

      Either elections are rigged or they aren’t.

      The only people saying elections are rigged are Republicans.

      Therefore that is exactly what Republicans and Trump want people to think.

      But hey, you want to support Trump’s claim that the election was a fraud, go for it. Not a single judge, including the ones he appointed, agreed with that claim.

        I have a little fan theory that the Republicans rigged the election to be in their favor and when Biden still won despite that…Like that’s why all the lawsuits and digging their heels in, because how could they lose otherwise if the other side didn’t cheat too? Tmp couldn’t possibly be that unpopular! Hahaha it makes me giggle to think about. Please no one take this seriously

            Hey, thanks for the observation, could you possibly let me know what I said that was offensive? I don’t recall calling anyone anything personal. Are we talking about the devil’s asshole comment? Thanks in advance!

              Essentially the entire comment, down to calling the other user a clown car.

              Attack the ideas, not the users.
