The details of a new special counsel report about Joe Biden's willful decision to keep classified documents to which he was not entitled, and even share them with others, include damning confirmation about his declining mental ability.
Fox News reports that Biden, when interviewed by special counsel Robert Hur, "could not remember key details, such as when he was vice president, during interviews with investigators."
Biden's decline has been apparent to all observers in recent years. He's called during a press conference on a member of Congress who was dead, in just the last few days he's talked of discussions with European leaders who are dead, he's misidentified his grandchildren and much more.
Fox explained Hur's report "contains an eye-opening portion on how Biden struggled to remember when he served as vice president in the Obama administration while being interviewed for the investigation. Additionally, Hur's office believed Biden's lawyers would use those 'limitations' in his recall if it went to trial."
Hur documented, "Om his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended ('If it was 2013 - when did I stop being Vice President?'), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began ('in 2009, am I still Vice President?').
"He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he ‘had a real difference’ of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama."
Hur used Biden's failing mental capacities to decide against recommending charges over the criminal acts confirmed in the case of the document.
"In a case where the government must prove that Mr. Biden knew he had possession of the classified Afghanistan documents after the vice presidency and chose to keep those documents, knowing he was violating the law, we expect that at trial, his attorneys would emphasize these limitations in his recall," the report said.
