    'The special counsel raised Biden’s age and memory in explaining why he didn’t bring charges.

    “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden 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,” Hur wrote.'

    Obviously, the special counsel was referring to a potential trial in 2025, when Joey is no longer president.

    “No longer POTUS?” You’re kidding right? Brandon doesn’t have to leave, concede the election or anything. He’s just going to call for BLM and Antiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifa to surround the White House and he’ll remain POTUS for life.

    FOX Business host Larry Kudlow reacts to Biden not being charged in the classified documents scandal on 'Kudlow.'

    The one point in the Biden Special Counsel report that has not received enough attention is the fact that U.S. senators and vice presidents do not have any legal authority to take classified 
    documents with them, or take them home, or take them to their new private office. 

    Period. Full stop. It is illegal. This point is crucial to the whole discussion of the Robert Hur Special Counsel report. Let me quote the great Victor Davis Hanson: "Special Counsel Robert Hur just found Joe Biden was guilty of violating national security laws in removing classified documents – after examining then Senator and Vice President Biden's some 15 year habit of removing classified files to his offices and residences, where they were stored in unsecured fashion. Period. End of story. 

    Victor goes on to say,"Biden has no putative right, as did Trump as president to declassify files he took home Trump's Mar-A-Lago walled and surveyed estate was far more secure than Biden's rickety garage."

    Mr. Trump was covered by the Presidential Records Act. That gives him authority to declassify documents and to transport them into a safe and secure location. Only presidents have that authority. No one else has it. 

    Therefore, what Mr. Biden did was unlawful for a period of 15 years, taking documents from the Senate and the vice presidency. The law further states that if you want to use classified documents for a book or whatever, he can read them in a secure SCIF in the National Archives building. 

    Now, the Hur report does say that 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. The Hur report, in fact, states that Biden discovered these classified documents back in 2017, when he was discussing the topic with his ghost writer.  

    So, when Biden and his people say a year ago they suddenly discovered classified documents in his garage and they rushed pell-mell to tell the Justice Department and the Archives and anyone else that would listen... This is just another Biden untruth. He's known for years and he had been pulling this trick for fifteen years, going back to his Senate days. 

    Of course, the double standard here is that Donald Trump was accused of willfully retaining classified materials, but under the Presidential Records Act he didn't do anything wrong. It’s a two-tiered justice system. Now, former prosecutor Andy McCarthy argues that "if you're at the point where you're saying what a jury would assess, what that means is you have drawn the conclusion that there is enough evidence to indict the person and enough evidence perhaps to let the jury decide the case." 

    This is a key insight. Robert Hur’s musings about potential juries kind of reminds you of James Comey’s merry-go-round with Hillary Clinton. Just saying. Then, of course, regarding the Hur report’s description of Biden's so-called limited memory, which would somehow get him off in front of a jury, that raises the point -- if you can't remember anything and if you keep confusing everything, events, people, dates… How can you be president and commander in chief? 

    Again, I turn to Andy McCarthy, who said Hur's findings contain evidence to invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, which empowers the vice president, along with the majority of those in the Cabinet, to remove a president from office if he or she is judged to be incapable of fulfilling presidential duties. "His fitness for office is a major issue here," McCarthy told Fox News. All the Biden White House attempts to discredit the Hur report are going to fall on deaf ears around the country. Joe Biden is in a heap of trouble and he's trying to untruth his way out of it, but I will predict -- it will not work. The Biden presidency is broken. 

    This article is adapted from Larry Kudlow’s opening commentary on the February 9, 2024, edition of "Kudlow."      


    Trump ‘didn’t do anything wrong’ 😂

    The Real “Robert Hur Report” (Versus What You Read in the News) How the Special Counsel report has been misinterpreted

    The Special Counsel Robert Hur report has been grossly mischaracterized by the press. The report finds that the evidence of a knowing, willful violation of the criminal laws is wanting. Indeed, the report, on page 6, notes that there are “innocent explanations” that Hur “cannot refute.” That is but one of myriad examples we outline in great detail below of the report repeatedly finding a lack of proof. And those findings mean, in DOJ-speak, there is simply no case. Unrefuted innocent explanations is the sine qua non of not just a case that does not meet the standard for criminal prosecution – it means innocence. Or as former Attorney General Bill Barr and his former boss would have put it, a total vindication (but here, for real).

    Ex-Clinton aide says he ‘wet the bed’ over special counsel’s report on Biden: 'Terrible for Democrats'

    Begala advised Biden: 'Instead of calling a press conference and saying, 'I really am sharp,' you attack the other guy'

    Published February 9, 2024 5:00pm EST

    Former Bill Clinton strategist and CNN political commentator Paul Begala admitted Friday that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s indictment of President Biden’s memory and Biden's response was "terrible for Democrats," joking he "wet the bed" over it.

    Begala, a Biden supporter, quipped on CNN Friday that he did not sleep well over all the bedwetting he did in response to Hur’s report on Biden's handling of classified documents.

    The findings of the report revealed Biden willfully retained classified U.S. documents as a private citizen, but charges were not recommended against the 46th president over his actions, partly because he would have a defense at trial as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

    BIDEN 'BLEW MY MIND' BY CONTRADICTING FACTS IN SPECIAL COUNSEL REPORT, SAYS CNN LEGAL ANALYST

    The special counsel’s claims alarmed both Democratic Party members and Biden himself, who held a press conference in part to dispute the claims about his competence Thursday.

    Begala lamented the report and Biden’s response to it. He began, quipping, "Oh yeah. Look, I’m a Biden supporter, and I slept like a baby last night: I woke up every two hours crying and wet the bed."

    "This is terrible for Democrats. And anybody with a functioning brain knows that," he declared. 

    The commentator then advised what Biden should’ve done instead of getting defensive at his press conference. "But here’s what you do. Instead of calling a press conference and saying, 'I really am sharp,' you attack the other guy."

    'I think Biden made it worse, no question about it,' Begala said, echoing the reaction of many in the media.

    Begala suggested Biden follow his own advice and use the strategy of reminding voters of the contrast between himself and former President Trump, his likely 2024 opponent who is facing criminal charges over his own alleged mishandling of classified material.

    "So everything with Biden has to be not 'I’m great,' but, 'The other guy is really damaging, dangerous, a threat,’" Begala said. 

    He then reiterated that Biden just "needs to be on the attack" against Trump rather than worry too much about his gaffes or concerns about his age.

    Ex-Clinton aide says he ‘wet the bed’ over special counsel’s report on Biden: 'Terrible for Democrats'

    Begala advised Biden: 'Instead of calling a press conference and saying, 'I really am sharp,' you attack the other guy'

    Published February 9, 2024 5:00pm EST

    Former Bill Clinton strategist and CNN political commentator Paul Begala admitted Friday that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s indictment of President Biden’s memory and Biden's response was "terrible for Democrats," joking he "wet the bed" over it.

    Begala, a Biden supporter, quipped on CNN Friday that he did not sleep well over all the bedwetting he did in response to Hur’s report on Biden's handling of classified documents.

    The findings of the report revealed Biden willfully retained classified U.S. documents as a private citizen, but charges were not recommended against the 46th president over his actions, partly because he would have a defense at trial as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

    The special counsel’s claims alarmed both Democratic Party members and Biden himself, who held a press conference in part to dispute the claims about his competence Thursday.

    Begala lamented the report and Biden’s response to it. He began, quipping, "Oh yeah. Look, I’m a Biden supporter, and I slept like a baby last night: I woke up every two hours crying and wet the bed."

    "This is terrible for Democrats. And anybody with a functioning brain knows that," he declared. 

    The commentator then advised what Biden should’ve done instead of getting defensive at his press conference. "But here’s what you do. Instead of calling a press conference and saying, 'I really am sharp,' you attack the other guy."
