A transcript from a special counsel’s interviews with President Biden about his handling of classified documents shows that the Democrat repeatedly insisted he never deliberately intended to retain sensitive files, according to reports, while also shedding light on some of the exchanges that led to a bombshell claim about Biden’s memory.
Biden did at times appear uncertain about dates and the order of events during his conversations with special counsel Robert Hur last October. But the transcript of their interviews could lead to questions about Hur’s sensational conclusions about Biden having “significant limitations” on his memory, according to the Associated Press.
It’s quite the leap to conclude that it had anything to do with memory. He could’ve asked if it was 2015 because he was surprised it was that long ago. Sometimes things like losing a child might screw with your since of time and feel more recent.
Oh yeah. Good point, you could read that way too, similar to “Wow, was covid really 4 years ago?? Seems like yesterday!”
It’s decontextualizing everything, stripping tone, inflection, etc. like in My Cousin Vinny when the police transcript reads back as a murder confession: “I shot the clerk.”
In his book, Biden said that he was so distraught that he relied on friends for a lot of the timeline around Beau’s death.
That is understandable AF
I barely even know how time has passed since the pandemic. 2019 was only a year ago, right?
So much has happened in the 5 decades since the 2016 election…
2019 feels like the last real year. Every year since I feel like I am Bruce Willis in the 6th sense. Stuck in 2019, unable to have any impact on the world around me.
Yeah, but since 2021 Biden has been just sitting around in some fancy mansion at the center of DC, giving some speeches and sometimes traveling around the world/country on a private jet with a chef and personal security. He’s got such a simple life now he should be able to remember and reminisce about all moments in his life. What else could possibly be occupying his time? There couldn’t possibly be anymore significant issues to occupy his time. Oh, and for like a year before moving to DC he took a big tour around the whole country, just talking to people.
Bud, you’ve no fucking idea what you’re talking about.
I thought the sarcasm would have been obvious…
A clear example of Poe’s Law at work
Sorry for missing the sarcasm. It’s late for me.
