WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) President Joe Bidens personal attorney said Sunday he went to both the special counsel and the attorney general to register concerns over what he viewed to be pejorative and unnecessary digs at the presidents memory.
This is a report that went off the rails, Bob Bauer said on CBS Face the Nation Sunday. Its a shabby work product.
The special counsel was investigating whether the president mishandled classified documents during his previous positions as vice president and senator, and found this week that no criminal charges were warranted.
But in building his argument for why no charges were necessary, Special Counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, detailed in part that Bidens defense of any potential charges could possibly be that: Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.

He won't be around in 2025.

(15,852 posts)I said Garland was the wrong man for the job from the beginning and got reamed over it.
I certainly hope Biden will replace him in 2025.
dredging up his son's death is unconscionable.

and to needle him. po' rwingers, don't have anything else to do~
