There have been many Dem pundits telling Biden to throw in the towel. It’s too late for that though as the primaries have already kicked off. The Convention though will definitely nominate someone else.

What do you think Democratic voters will think about that? That the DNC is once again ignoring the will of the voters......

The report exonerated Biden. No charges because of “lack of evidence”. Everything else is right-wing spin.

The fact that this made it in the report issued by DoJ is insane. That’s how you know Hur is a nakedly Republican political operative.

Hur made no diagnosis.
He stated what he observed. And, he confirmed what we have all seen for 3 years now.
And, it has only gotten worse. And, it will continue to get worse. His issues will NOT improve.
Those of you who cannot admit that are divorced from reality.

It was unprofessional for Hur to throw out non-germane opinions that are not in the report. And he did not include those gossipy insults in the report because that would have been outrageously unprofessional. Hur disgraced himself.

You don’t understand how delegates are selected. When Biden wins a state’s primary, the delegates are Biden supporters chosen by other Biden supporters and are pledged to vote for Biden at the convention.

He had to include them because that was his excuse for not charging him.

I guess it's ok to attack the Special Counsel if he is investigating a Democrat.

Expect to hear a lot of "gratuitous" and "inaccurate" on the Sunday shows.

They were quite germane given that was his reasoning for not charging him.

And Biden essentially came out and confirmed what Hur stated in the report with that disastrous press conference - which the Whitehouse has now REMOVED from it’s video playlist - as if that somehow removes it from the internet

How many posters here wanted Trump thrown in jail for talking sh!t about Jack Smith? That’s been a reoccurring theme with these LWNJ’s.

You do not need to show intent - mere possession of classified documents is legally sufficient for finding of guilt.

Ok, so why isn't Trump in jail?

(hint: Judge Cannon is in the tank for him)

Trump actually has the Presidential Records Act as an argument.
Biden does not have that argument - especially as a Senator since some of the classified material dates back to his Senate days.

Biden threw classified documents about the Afghanistan withdrawal by/on an old, broken down dog crate.


What the report includes:

The report covers what materials have been uncovered, what's known about how they were handled — going back to Biden's time as vice president — as well as the legal arguments around whether charges were appropriate.

There are photos of the boxes that contained classified materials, including one damaged box with documents about Afghanistan that was found in the garage of Biden's home in Delaware "near a collapsed dog crate, a dog bed, a Zappos box, an empty bucket, a broken lamp wrapped with duct tape, potting soil, and synthetic firewood."


The bulk of the report focuses on two types of classified materials — documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan; and notebooks that Biden used throughout his presidency for a combination of personal reflections, meeting notes and other writings.

Biden relied on his notebooks in particular while writing his memoir Promise Me, Dad, which was published in 2017 and reflects on the year his older son Beau died of cancer, two years earlier.

In conversations with his ghostwriter for the book, he read from those notebooks — and on at least three occasions shared classified material while doing so.

https://www.npr.org/2024/02/09/1230333392/biden-classified-documents-highlights#:~:text=There%20are%20photos%20of%20the,tape%2C%20potting%20soil%2C%20and%20synthetic

And he got away with it because they’ve decided he’s mentally incompetent

None of those arguments are substantiated by the Special Counsel's report. The findings were that there were no meaningful violations and that Biden fully cooperated, that Biden worked with the appropriate people immediately the second he became aware of anything potentially classified, and that all of his testimony to the Special Counsel was "clear and compelling" in the Counsel's own words as he summarized his findings - clear and compelling as in not the confusions of someone with dementia. And, the case is now closed. No amount of "yabut" from the peanut gallery of DCUM will change that.

And he could not remember when he was Vice President nor within years of when his son died. This is material because he decides if we go to nuclear war. I could care less about the f$cking documents.

And then he proved to the nation what Hur concluded in his report when he gave that disaster of a press conference where he confused the president of Mexico with the president of Egypt and could not remember where his son’s rosary came from.

So what? We could go around all day and all night cherrypicking and nitpicking every single Republican's misstatements too.

And don't even get us started on Trump's nonstop babble. He's WAY worse off mentally than Biden is. Unlike a Biden single word slip in a 45 minute speech, Trump will routinely go on for 3 or 4 minutes straight ranting incoherently.

Stop trying to make fetch happen, dear.

“For years now, President Biden's advisers have carefully choreographed his every move to avoid what exploded into view over six hours Thursday: a vivid display of an elderly, irritable man struggling on a public stage.“

Seriously, Jill is helping Joe avoid the press.

Jill Biden after 2022 news conference: "Why didn't anyone stop that?"


https://www.axios.com/2024/02/09/forthcoming-book-jill-biden-why-didnt-anyone-stop-that

It was Jan 19, 2022. President Biden and top aides were gathered in the Treaty Room, the president's study in the executive residence, after a press conference that ran nearly two hours. He made several factual errors.

Suddenly, the group saw Jill Biden in the doorway, Rogers writes in "American Woman":
"She had watched the news conference, and the look on her face told everyone in the room — from the president on down — that they had some explaining to do."
"Why didn't anyone stop that?" she demanded.

Biden, 81, has held the fewest press conferences or formal interviews of any modern commander-in-chief — leaving Biden’s jaunts across the White House South Lawn to and from his Marine One helicopter as the best chance for the press corps to get some face time.

When Biden is alone, he is far easier to bait with shouted questions, sometimes shuffling over around midnight for a give-and-take — despite the unflattering overhead TV lights forcing him to hold up his hand to shield his eyes from the glare.

However, the presence of Jill, 72, on such trips is a dead giveaway that there will be no questions, with the first lady making sure to hold her husband’s hand the entire way across the lawn.

The report explained that there were no charges because of lack of evidence of knowledge or intent. His speech relating his personal animosity for Biden was irrelevant and unprofessional.
