Bold faced live are something that makes me hope the Christians are right. You’ll have a great seat in hell.

You’re comparing six classified documents and a total of 30 that he literally forgot about so obviously no spy or anyone else of consequence is ever going to stumble upon them, at least no one with the connections to do nefarious things with any information. With a trove of 10,000 pages can training over 300 multi page classified documents by a fat lazy dumb motherfucker who wouldn’t read a two page brief in the morning. No. I’m not defending the Biden ministration or the Democratic Party as an example of good government, but it’s a far cry from an ongoing criminal enterprise and self-serving charlatan bullshit offered by the last few GOP administrations. Well, basically since Reagan.

One other thing: I finally did download the report. There are a number of passages that seem pretty damning regarding his memory post February 2017. See page 68 and Biden’s Oct 10, 2016 statement to his ghostwriter about his foreign policy notebooks: “[t]hey didn’t even know I have this.” Did he forget all this 3 months later?

Thanks so much. This explains exactly what I was missing! So much of the discussion I have heard concerns violations of 18 U.S. Code § 1924

But you are the only one I’ve heard who clarified that this law does not apply to Joe Biden as a senator or VP:

“(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.”

I do not recall people discussing this. And that seems rather odd, even considering my ignorance of the subject matter.

Am I missing something? I haven’t read the report, but from the multiple sources I have read - people who have read the report - Biden appears to be a serial violator of laws pertaining to confidential documents. He was known by his staff to consistently violate the laws.

He even stated at one point something along the lines of, “they don’t know I have this stuff.”

Is it a question of his inability to defend himself at trial? Even in recent years he knew he had classified documents and didn’t come forward to admit his crimes until he got caught.

It seems Hur and the Attorney General had an agreement. Your report will show how guilty Biden is but give us some lame excuse why we’re not going to charge him. Hur gets to claim that he did his job with integrity. Garland could have removed a lot of stuff in that report but didn’t. He earned the support of powerful people who don’t want a second Biden term.

Rather than just observing that there's no point pursuing charges because Biden would present as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” for someone interested in actual justice wouldn't it be better to recommend medical evaluation to determine if he's competent to be charged?

Considering the way our justice system often makes surprising or counterintuitive decisions based on parsing the most obscure legal details, this just seems…sloppy.

Has no one pointed out that Biden's outrage (the rosary thing) is completely irrelevant to the point? It only serves as an emotional distraction for those eager for an excuse to criticize Hur.

He should be hung

So many things about this situation. So, becoming elderly and forgetful gives you a retroactive Get Out of Jail Free card? Good to know.

Can't wait to deploy that tactic if I get caught, for example, building a shed without a permit. Or failing to file taxes. Etc.

I take a back seat to nobody in my contempt for Biden and his entire, nation-wrecking administration. But as a nation, we also need a much more sensible policy around "classified" documents. I'm 100% certain that were all those garage-based classified documents published far and wide, it would make not the slightest difference to anything. Same with whatever Trump is accused of having.

The government is far too free with slapping down the "classified" stamp, and more often than not, it's done simply to protect the goverment from people discovering their perfidy, double-dealing and lawlessness. Like the constant excuse from the FBI/CIA that they can't "reveal methods." It's total horseshit, and whenever they say it they actually mean, "we were doing something illegal or blatantly partisan and don't want you to know."

The assumption for ALL government documents should be that they be public, with only the very highest order items, such as technical secrets, kept under wraps. As it is, document-gate is now just another partisan witch hunt. Biden gets away with it, as we all knew he would. They're still trying to send Trump to prison for it. The whole thing stinks.
