A special counsel report on the president's handling of classified documents knocked his memory in a pretty pointed way.
The special counsel on President Joe Biden’s classified documents case won’t be charging him—but he did insult him.explaining that he is not recommending an indictment of the president because, among other things, Biden would come across to jurors as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory” rather than someone who knowingly violated the law.
The prosecutor, Robert Hur, explained this statement by writing in his report that Biden struggled during an interview to remember which years certain events occurred, and whether he was vice president at the time; he also wrote that Biden “did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.
Spiritually, this is the first major news cycle of the 2024 general election, in that it is the first time that Democrats have engaged in the kind of mass spiraling about, mid–press conference, that she had received “panicked texts” about Biden’s performance from “several Democratic operatives.” So, is this kind of thing going to cost Biden the election? I’ll save you some suspense: I don’t know.
