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.

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


Bullshit. The report gave the reasons. Hur just smeared Biden so he won’t get kicked out of the Republican patronage network.


DP. "Smeared Biden"? Hur told the truth - what did you expect? Also, you should be grateful. Biden’s mental frailty is one reason Hur offered for not presenting Biden’s document-mishandling as a criminal offense before a jury. Look, decline is part of the human condition, and it’s not Biden’s fault. But what IS his fault is insisting that he can capably serve another four years as president. If you were at all honest, you would admit this truth.


Bullshit. If it isn’t in the report it isn’t relevant. His presentation was all about his feelings which are not evidence or legal argument. He didn’t put any of that bullshit in the report because he knows it is way out of bounds. It was a wholly unprofessional performance. He should not say anything to the press that he did not say in the report. It’s disgraceful conduct.


What on earth are you babbling about? It WAS in the report. You seem completely ignorant.

It is hard to miss even for a lay person.

You’re pathetic. This came from Biden’s DOJ. The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked.

Merrick Garland, darling of the left, *assigned* this to Hur. Democrats just can't bear to hear the truth.


MG is a registered Republican


When Barack Obama tries to seat you on the Supreme Court, I think it’s safe to say that person is a Democrat.

No— he called himself elderly. But he’s still capable, which is more than I can say for Trump, and it get tiring having these hit jobs.

Relevant excerpts from
The Real “Robert Hur Report” (Versus What You Read in the News)
How the Special Counsel report has been misinterpreted

by Andrew Weissmann and Ryan Goodman
February 10, 2024

“We have concluded that there is not a prosecutable case against Biden. Although there was a basis to open the investigation based on the fact that classified documents were found in Biden’s homes and office space, that is insufficient to establish a crime was committed. The illegal retention or dissemination of national defense information requires that he knew of the existence of such documents and that he knew they contained national defense information. It is not a crime without those additional elements. Our investigation, after a thorough year-long review, concludes that there is an absence of such necessary proof. Indeed, we have found a number of innocent explanations as to which we found no contrary evidence to refute them and found affirmative evidence in support of them.”


1. Lack of Evidence of Knowledge that Information Was Classified
* “Mr. Biden should have known that by reading his unfiltered notes about classified meetings in the Situation Room, he risked sharing classified information with his ghostwriter. But the evidence does not show that when Mr. Biden shared the specific passages with his ghostwriter, Mr. Biden knew the passages were classified and intended to share classified information.” (p. 9-10)

2. Lack of Evidence of Willful Retention
* “Some of the documents in these files were marked classified, though, because of the passage of time, we do not know whether Mr. Biden willfully retained the classified documents or consulted

3. Lack of Evidence of Willful Disclosure
* “[W]e conclude that the evidence does not establish that Mr. Biden willfully disclosed national defense information to Zwonitzer.” (p. 248)

4. Lack of Evidence of Transportation of Documents
* “We were unable to determine how the marked classified Afghanistan documents got from the White House, where Mr. Biden possessed them as vice president in 2009, to his Delaware home, where they were found in 2022 …. Ultimately, we could not determine precisely when the box containing the Afghanistan documents got into the garage, or who put the documents there.” (p. 150)

5. Lack of Evidence of Possession
The Hur report centers on one of the apparently most incriminating statements by Biden to his ghostwriter. While in his home in Virginia. Biden said he had “just found all the classified stuff downstairs.”

6. Evidence of Intent to Return Classified Documents
Around the same time as the relevant period, Biden proactively returned other classified documents to government authorities that he discovered in his home. The report notes this evidence supports Biden’s innocence.

Anyone claiming the country is “safe” with a doddering old man at the helm is not a reasonable mind.

Pelosi was concerned enough about Biden’s burgeoning senility years ago that she tried to have his nuclear launch authority modified and restricted.

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/02/25/dozens-of-house-democrats-call-biden-give-sole-nuclear-launch-authority.html


Keep in mind - these were fellow Dems looking to limit Biden’s ability to push the nuclear button, not a gang of R’s led by MTG or Boebert. And this was two YEARS ago! Do any of you think he’s gotten LESS mentally impaired since then? No congress has ever advocated such a limitation be placed on a president prior to this, and certainly not members of that president’s own party.

Accept it - Biden is in the mid-to-latter stages of dementia and declining rapidly. How can someone unfit to stand trial according to the special counsel report still be qualified to be president? He wouldn’t be allowed to drive a car in many states (Florida being one of them) but he still has the sole authority to launch nuclear weapons at a moment’s notice. In what alternate reality that many of you are living under does that seem like a good idea?

You people here who post things like “he’s doing great” or “he’s not diminished” or engage in pointless whataboutisms - do you realize how out of touch and insane you look to normal people in the middle, like me? The country is more than a president. Presidents come and go every 4-8 years. Why are you soooooo vested in keeping this one?

Because of Trump? Is that why? So what? Trump was president before, the world didn't end, and he can be president again. Or someone else. As long they’re of sound mind. And Biden is not. Why does it HAVE to be Biden?

She also tried to block Trump from getting the codes, so this really isn’t helpful.

We will see if the hosts of the Sunday shows today ask the Biden sycophants who appear on their shows if they would support the release of the transcripts......



If the White House feels the characterization of Biden by the Special Counsel is unfair, then demand the transcripts of his deposition be released,

They haven't done that, and won't do it and there is a reason why. Because more likely than not, the Counsel's report was being favorable to his memory.
