Opinion
In his five-hour interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, President Biden frequently confused dates, countries and the sequence of significant events, such as the years in which his son Beau died and Donald Trump was elected, a transcript reveals.
The transcript of the two-day interview was reviewed by Axios. And even the left-wing newspaper reports that Biden’s memory problems are surprising.
“The transcript supports Hur’s version that Biden had multiple mental lapses, despite recent pushback from the president and the White House,” they report.
The President repeatedly struggled to remember “important” dates and had to be rescued by his lawyers on several occasions.
“Will Trump be elected in November 2017?” Biden asked during the interview, which of course she is incorrect and one year out of date. November 8, 2016 is the most tragic date in the eyes of Democrats after January 6th.
In another part of the interview, the President says that his son Beau is “serving or dying” in 2017 or 2018. In reality, Beau Biden tragically died due to complications from brain cancer in 2015 .

Biden’s mental acuity is worse than we thought
It’s really starting to get to the point where this is no longer a joke. Democrats continue to support President Biden despite his obvious mental shortcomings.
While Hur’s report earlier this year was damning, seeing a transcript of what he was observing is quite disconcerting.
The special prosecutor, you may recall, indicated that the president would not be charged with “intentionally withholding classified material” because he is an “older, well-intentioned man with a poor memory.”
Based on this argument, Hur argues that it would have been difficult to convince a jury to convict someone so weak.
And, during the interview, it was clear that Biden couldn’t even gather his thoughts to remember when he was vice president of the United States.
“If it was 2013, when would I stop being vice president?” she asked at one point.
“Am I still vice president in 2009?” Biden says in another.
Axios also indicates that Biden struggled to describe a fax machine.
In a remarkable moment, President Biden seemingly showed off his mental acuity… by making car noises to show how a Corvette works.

But him I knew What he was doing with the classified documents
While the interview and testimony from special prosecutor Robert Hur demonstrate that Biden’s mental and memory problems are dire, it does not fully explain the defense of an “older, well-meaning man with a poor memory” to protect him.
Hur said his team “identified evidence that the president intentionally retained classified materials after the end of his vice presidency.”
He shared this with his ghostwriter by “reading confidential information aloud.”
And, Hur argues, his report “did not exonerate” Biden of any wrongdoing
NEW: Special Prosecutor Robert Hur testifies that he *does not* exonerate President Joe Biden.
The moment came after Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal said Biden had been exonerated.
Hur said he didn’t exonerate Biden, which prompted Jayapal to throw a fit and move on.

According to Hur, classified information was scattered everywhere.
Confidential documents have been found…
At the Penn Biden Center? “It’s correct.”
In President Biden’s garage? “YES.”
And in his basement studio? “YES.”
And his office on the main floor? “Correct.”
And his study on the third floor? “Correct.”
At the University of Delaware? “Correct.”

And while his mental errors are many, they were not as prevalent when he actually committed the crimes.
Rep. Matt Gaetz heavily criticized Hur for not pursuing charges based on what he called a “senile cooperator theory.”
“You find in your report that the elements of a federal criminal violation exist,” insists Gaetz (R-FL). “But then you apply this senile collaborator theory that because Joe Biden cooperated and the elevator didn’t get to the top floor, you don’t think you’d get a conviction.”
MATT GAETZ: Joe Biden said, “I guarantee that I have not shared classified information.” That’s not true, is it?
HUR: “This is inconsistent with the findings.”
MATT GAETZ: Joe Biden said, “All the classified documents were in locked filing cabinets.” That’s not true, is it?

What to do?
Democrats have to walk an incredibly hard line here in their defense of the president. Or Biden was mentally unfit to stand trial. Or is he as sane today as he was when he mishandled the documents and should have been prosecuted.
Most worrisome for America right now? The inevitable conclusion that President Biden is not mentally fit to govern the country. And he certainly shouldn’t be in charge of managing the nuclear codes.
Meanwhile, the White House continues to press the Commander in Chief Not it is necessary to take a cognitive test. Hur’s testimony seems to suggest that she would have difficulty simply putting her name on that test.
