Former Obama aide says there was unfair reaction to Hur report

Toward the end of Joe Biden’s administration, Biden was investigated for the improper handling of classified documents.

Special Counsel Robert Hur released his report, stating that he would not be pursuing charges due to the perception he believes the jury would have of Biden, and Democrats shredded it as a political attack.

The report

As we now know, Joe Biden has classified documents hidden in various locations.

They were improperly stored in his garage and his office at Penn University.

Hur concluded that he would not be filing charges against Biden, as "Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

The White House responded, "The report uses highly prejudicial language to describe a commonplace occurrence among witnesses, which is a lack of recall after years-old events."

Biden strikes back

For the last two years, Biden had been fighting off speculation about his mental health, and he was furious at the report.

Mind you, the White House refused to release the audio of the interview even though Republicans had been requesting access to the tapes.

As reporters questioned Biden about the report, he snapped, “I’m well-meaning, and I’m an elderly man — and I know what the hell I’m doing.”

Biden later added, “There’s even [a] reference that I don’t remember when my son died. How in the hell dare he raise that?” The actual transcript revealed that it was Joe Biden who brought the subject up, not Hur, and a Biden aide had to give Biden the year of his son’s death.

Obama Aide Reversal

After hearing the tapes, former Obama spokesperson and political commentator Tommy Vietor has decided that perhaps everyone overreacted to the report by Hur. Veitor posted to X, “I found the context about the Hur report to be some of the most interesting/revelatory information in ORIGINAL SIN.

“At the time, Hur's comments about Biden being an ‘elderly man with a poor memory’ seemed like Jim Comey-style inappropriate editorializing about a non-charging decision.

“However, the book made me realize how important that context was for Hur in explaining his decision NOT to charge Biden, and I now feel that many of the attacks on Hur, including by me, weren’t totally fair. I still think the piece about whether or not Biden remembered the date of Beau’s death is complicated. Clearly Biden was experiencing cognitive decline.”

As I stated in a previous report, the announcement of Joe Biden's cancer and how it has progressed has only created more theories about a Biden health cover-up. I honestly don’t know if we will ever get the full truth, but if I were Biden, I would just go back to Delaware and hide under a rock with the time I had remaining.
