A transcript from a special counsel’s interviews with President Biden about his handling of classified documents shows that the Democrat repeatedly insisted he never deliberately intended to retain sensitive files, according to reports, while also shedding light on some of the exchanges that led to a bombshell claim about Biden’s memory.

Biden did at times appear uncertain about dates and the order of events during his conversations with special counsel Robert Hur last October. But the transcript of their interviews could lead to questions about Hur’s sensational conclusions about Biden having “significant limitations” on his memory, according to the Associated Press.

    I’m decades younger than Biden and I have trouble recalling the exact dates of my family members’ deaths. Because I never try to remember their deaths. Their lives are what mattered.

      I do a lot of public speaking professionally and am considered good at it. I fumble over words and forget shit all the time.

      The people who are pearl clutching about this shit are legitimately people whose entire experience with recitation are making bored small talk with their spouse and scolding their children.

        That, for sure!

        People also forget that on the big stages of life you usually only see professionals. And if there is one thing you need to understand about professionals, they make what they do seem easy.

      I’m in the same boat. My dad died… just before I took my current job. 2012? I think? I’m not sure, it’s all blurry.
