Special Counsel Robert Hur just released his report on Biden's handling of
classified docs.
He's not recommending any charges, but his report said damning things
about Biden's memory.
Biden forgot when he was VP and when his son Beau died, per the report.
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from Special Counsel Robert Hur's report is
that President Joe Biden is struggling with memory issues.
Hur's report, while not recommending any criminal charges over Biden's
handling of classified documents, included seemingly grave warnings about
the president's mental acuity.
During a portion dealing with classified documents pertaining to
Afghanistan, the report noted that the 81-year-old president "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."
"It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him —
by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony
that requires a mental state of willfulness," the report added.
Furthermore, the report stated that during an interview with
investigators, Biden could not recall the dates of his 2009-2017 vice
presidency, or recall that his son Beau died in May 2015.
"When did I stop being Vice President?" said Biden at one point, according
to the report. "In 2009, am I still Vice President?"

In a statement, White House counsel Richard Sauber disputed portions of
the report.
"We disagree with a number of inaccurate and inappropriate comments in the
Special Counsel's report," said Sauber. "Nonetheless, the most important
decision the Special Counsel made—that no charges are warranted—is firmly
based on the facts and evidence."
In a letter to the special counsel included at the end of the report,
Sauber and Bob Bauer, Biden's personal lawyer, expanded on that critique.
"The President's inability to recall dates or details of events that
happened years ago is neither surprising nor unusual," the duo wrote,
noting that many questions dealt with "the particulars of staff work to
pack, ship, and store materials and furniture in the course of moves
between residences."
They also argued that the special counsel treated Biden's memory lapses
differently than that of one of his lawyers.
"Unlike your treatment of President Biden, your report accepts other
witnesses' memory loss as completely understandable given the passage of
time," they wrote.
Biden has suffered several public memory lapses during his presidency,
particularly in recent weeks.
At a campaign event in New York on Wednesday, Biden confused former German
Chancellor Angela Merkel with her predecessor, who has since died. And
days before that, he confused French President Emmanuel Macron with
Francois Mitterrand, who died in 1996.
Over the summer, Biden confused Ukraine with Iraq twice in a 24-hour
period.
