What’s described here is an outrage that President Donald Trump didn’t come close to. RealClear Investigations reporter Benjamin Weingarten grabbed some of the most damning and concerning parts.

Joe was cavalier with documents while he was Vice President too.

He had all kinds of classified material and they appeared to have no system for recovering it. This has been a problem for years, with the “Executive Secretary Team” expressing concern in 2010 about all the classified briefing books he had not returned, and that even when things were returned, some items were missing.

They were unable to determine if some of this material was ever returned. Biden He took his notebooks home with him and kept them, even though they had classified materials in them. He kept them in unsecured locations.

According to the report, Biden read portions of his notebook that contained classified information up to the Secret Level. Totally cool and totally legal when Joe Biden does it

“During his interview with our office, Mr. Biden said he did not remember finding marked classified documents at any time after the end of the Obama administration and before he was elected President...” False statement, or senility? https://t.co/7GHzto8qsA— Benjamin Weingarten (@bhweingarten) February 12, 2024

Here’s another place where it looks like Biden told the Special Counsel’s team something that wasn’t true. “During his interview with our office, Mr. Biden said he did not remember finding marked classified documents at any time after the end of the Obama administration and before he was elected President...”

False statement, or senility?

But of course, given the story about his discussions with the ghostwriter, that appears to be false. Why is that not being pursued as a false statement? The “poor memory” defense?

WH complained to DOJ for including Biden’s memory issues
BEFORE special counsel Hur report was released

The White House sent an angry letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland a day before the Special Counsel report on President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified information was released. White House Counsel Ed Siskel complained in a letter on February 7 that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report included ‘multiple denigrating statements’ about Biden’s memory. Details of the White House letters between Justice Department officials were first published by Politico.

‘A global and pejorative judgment on the President’s powers of recollection in general is uncalled for and unfounded,’ the letter read. The latest development in the special counsel saga as Congress confirmed Hur will testify on Capitol Hill on March 12 in a blockbuster experience that could spell more trouble for Biden.

Siskel said Hur ‘openly, obviously, and blatantly’ violated Department policy and practices by commenting on Biden’s memory and demeanor during the interview. The letter also noted that Biden’s five-hour interview with the Special Counsel took place after the ‘grave international crisis’ of the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, which he argued was ‘crucial context’ for Biden’s hesitant answers.

The letters reveal the White House effort to influence the report before it’s release, as they viewed it as politically damaging for the president. The Justice Department defended Hur, as Associate Deputy Attorney General Bradley Weinsheimer told the president’s lawyers in a letter that the report was ‘consistent with legal requirements and Department policy.’

The White House pushed back sharply against the Justice Department after the report was released, which culminated in the president himself angrily condemning Hur for reporting that Biden ‘did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.’ ‘How the hell dare he raise that,’ Biden yelled during a press conference on Tuesday.(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
