[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I’m the OP of the other thread on today’s testimony. I’m reading the transcript and I’m in tears reading that section about Beau and about Charlottesville. I believe Biden when he says he felt compelled to run for those reasons. I believe that Biden is a decent man. My heart goes out to him for all of the loss he’s experienced. And he certainly knows when his son passed. It’s crude that we are splitting hairs over such a personal thing.

Yet, I can still see the rationale that Hur’s intention was to provide the justification for his findings. Without it, could Biden have been found to have acted with malicious intent? 
With the commentary on Biden’s memory, it absolves him (if not exonerates him). Or so goes the report’s findings. And this is a reasonable argument.

Because I can see the logic, and there is no evidence to support political motivation, and I cannot read minds, I cannot get down with the Hur witch-hunt. I don’t see any basis for legal action or disbarment or any of the crazy cries I’ve heard today. There is just no basis at all.

I do think the “can’t even remember his son’s death…” comment was very insensitive and tactlessly sensational. Could that have been interpreted from the exchange? Maybe from someone a little short on empathy and EQ.  But is it illegal? No. Nefarious? Don’t know without reading Hur’s mind but there’s no evidence of it.

Sounds like a lot of you are just parroting Schiff’s testimony. I just can’t see how any thinking person, legal scholar or practitioner could take the position that many of you have.

We’ve really lost our way when it comes to approaching life with reason and without bias. I hope we find it again. [/quote]

I am not of the "he needs to be disbarred" or "he should be jailed" camp - but he went way outside the bounds of conjecture, inserting his own personal statements, into the document and it was done purely for political purposes, and the damage is more than done. Recall how breathless the media was at "cognative decline" and "dementia joe" and clearly that isn't the case, but you don't see the media correcting the perception now, or certainly not with the same fervor.[/quote]

Do you take issue with the whole “memory” notion or the words that were used, such as “elderly”? It sounds like Hur found the memory issue to be the reason to clear Biden because it shows that Biden didn’t knowingly retain classified documents. Without that lever, Biden might be in a different boat.  [/quote]
