On Tuesday, Just the News posted an article about the testimony of Special Counsel Robert Hur before the House Judiciary Committee.
The article lists the seven biggest takeaways from that testimony:
1. President Biden “willfully” retained classified documents
2. Hur indicated Biden was lying when he claimed in news conference he did not share classified information
3. President Biden’s motives for retaining classified documents were explored, including $8 million in book proceeds
4. Hur insisted that his report did not “exonerate” Biden
5. The Intelligence Community is completing a damage assessment on Biden’s handling of classified documents
6. Prosecutors believed there was an effort to destroy evidence
7.) Biden displayed a hazy memory, confusion during his two-day interview with Hur’s team
The article concludes:
In one line of questioning about Biden’s time after he left the vice presidency in early 2017, he struggled to remember the year of important events, like Donald Trump’s election in 2016 and the death of his son, Beau Biden, from brain cancer in 2015.
“And so what was happening, though – what month did Beau die? Oh God, May 30,” Biden said, according to the transcript reviewed by Just the News.
“2015,” a White House Counsel’s office attorney interjected.
“Was it 2015 he had died?” Biden asked.
The transcript contradicts statements President Biden made after Hur’s report was released last month. The president was publicly indignant and criticized Hur for allegedly raising the topic.
“How in the hell dare he raise that,” Biden said to reporters, speaking about Hur. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business.” Yet, the transcript shows it was Biden who first mentioned his son’s death.
After confirming the date of his son’s death with the lawyers, Biden still appeared to be confused about the timeline of his post-vice presidential private life.
Biden said: “And what’s happened in the meantime is that Trump gets elected in November of 2017?”
Two individuals corrected him, saying it was in “2016,” according to the transcript.
“2016. Alright, so – why do I have 2017 here?” Biden asked.
Even young people confuse dates. However, the really sleazy move was to blame Hur for bringing up Beau Biden’s death. President Biden brings that up anytime he feels it is useful to him–he even brought it up in the State of the Union address.
