The full transcript undercuts Hur’s claims that Biden could not remember his son’s death and had “poor” memory

The full transcript of President Joe Biden’s five-hour interview with special counsel Robert Hur’s investigators “paints a more nuanced portrait” of Biden’s memory than the special counsel’s report, according to The Washington Post, which noted that “Biden doesn’t come across as being as absent-minded as Hur has made him out to be.”

The transcript “could raise questions about Hur’s depiction of the 81-year-old president as having ‘significant limitations’ on his memory,” according to The Associated Press.

Hur in his report declined to charge Biden, arguing that it would be difficult to convince a jury to convict with a memory that the special counsel described as “faulty” and “poor,” noting that Biden could not recall when his son Beau died or when he served as vice president.

But Biden said exactly when his son died in the interview.

    I’d settle for fired but this hack needs to face some consequences.

      fired is just the first step. he needs to be investigated by somebody independent to see if his other decisions are also politically motivated as well as if there wasn’t any sort of corruption in this particular case.

      And, anyone found to behaving in a corrupt manner needs to be dealt with in the appropriate manner. (I.E, jail time.)

      He already resigned and will likely go to some cushy well paid gig he may or may not have been promised.
