Andrew Weissmann Cites 47 Passages From Hur Report That Demonstrate That Bidens 'Memory' Was A Very Small Part Of The Decision Not To Indict
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
I will post a few of these 47 passages here
...the evidence does not show that when Mr. Biden shared the specific passages with his ghostwriter, Mr. Biden knew the passages were classified and intended to share classified information .
-
...These facts do not support a conclusion that Mr. Biden willfully retained the marked classified documents in these binders .
-
... we do not know whether Mr. Biden willfully retained the classified documents or consulted them when writing the book
-
... we cannot prove that Mr. Biden retained these classified documents willfully
-
...the evidence does not suggest either that Mr. Biden retained the classified documents inside them willfully, or that the documents contain national defense information
-
...there is in fact a shortage of evidence on these points . We do not know why, how, or by whom the documents were placed in the box. We do not know whether or when Mr. Biden carefully reviewed the box’s contents
-
... The evidence does not suggest that Mr. Biden willfully retained these documents . Rather, they appear to have been included in his large collection of Senate papers by mistake
-
... The evidence does not establish that Mr. Biden or anyone else knowingly removed or retained the classified documents found at the University of Delaware
-
... No evidence suggests he knew these classified documents were within his massive collection of Senate papers . Further, given the age of the documents, we found no evidence that Mr. Biden personally viewed any of them while he was a member of the Senate

Yesterday a few of the right wingers on this site refused to accept the fact that the Hur decision to not indict Biden was based on more than the idea that a jury might be sympathetic to Biden's age and 'poor memory'.
I dont expect any of them to read Weissmann's article , and it is too long to post in it's entirety here.
Ignorance will continue to prevail.
The Hur report was a political hit job, no more, no less.
So Biden was to incompetent to know they were Classified along with being to senile to aide in his defense.
Progressives aren’t denying the accuracy of Hur’s account , rather they are mad that hur didn’t participate in their plot to cover up Biden’s incapacity and keep it hidden from the public.
It’s amazing isn’t it? Everything that is posted as a defense in this article is a confirmation of Biden’s incompetence or diminished capacity.
Your comment is complete nonsense.
How so, John....be specific and try and not throw Trump into it.
No John it’s not, he couldn’t remember the date his son died. No parent who has control of their faculties would forget that. period!
It’s always funny when you interrupt your stream of “trump is a mortal danger to democracy and the worst American in history etc” to play the “Biden is the same as trump” card.
There it is, the obligatory trump deflection when there is no defense for Biden.
Biden and Trump are not the same. Trump is 1000 times worse.
hyperbole
undeniably.
Brandon is still a criminal- just like Hillary.
The two tier justice system chose not to prosecute them.
Guess conservatives don't want to be Durham'd by leftist judges and TDS driven juries from Democrat run bastion of stupidity states.
We have come down to the really amazing fact that people will dispute written information that is available right in front of their eyes. There are literally dozens of examples in the report concerning why Biden is not indicted that are not connected to him being an "old confused man", and yet our right wing friends insist on lying about it.
The point you are so desperately trying to deflect from is that he is a “confused” old man who lacks the capacity to hold the office of president. I don’t care that he wasn’t charged, what I care about is that there is a senile 80 + year old holding the most powerful office in the free world. He is incompetent now! It isn’t going to get better and only going to get worse.
Trump has mixed up names and made inaccurate statements far more than Biden has.
So put them side by side and show proof of this.
How about you do it? Im tired of posting factual information on this site that the far right simply ignores.
You are the one that made the claim, John, not me.
The problem you have is what you believe is factual information usually is not. We don't "ignore" it, we just know bs when we see it.
I'm not saying this to simply be an ass. I'm saying it because we live it here almost daily.
In the Hur report there are MANY examples of why Biden is not being indicted that do not have to do with alleged mental "incompetence". PERIOD. If you insist on claiming otherwise you are lying.
John, I don't give a shit that he won't be charged.
The fact remains is that it was pointed out, something most Americans have figured out long ago, that Biden s incompetent and a confused, old doddering fool.
Unfortunately, it took a special prosecutor to get the attention of some that have absolutely refused to accept this over time, including you.
Why do you think if Biden is a confused elderly gentleman, that he can successfully run the country?
THAT is what you continue to deny...PERIOD.
Because he has been.
[Deleted]
Can't believe you really believe that.
Biden is nothing more than a puppet to a handful of insiders that are actually making the decisions.
Orrrrrrrrr. since the country is so fucked up right now, maybe he really is making the decisions....
I dont believe in your far right nut job conspiracies.
When, I must have missed it?
You have to have an open mind to see what is going on. It is obvious yours is slammed shut.
see 5.1.11
OK...SEE 5.1.13
Any of one those statements defending Biden can said to be true for Trump as well. There is no evidence that Trump was planning to use those documents for bad purposes, and the fact remains that he had been in touch with authorities discussing the details of their being returned.
The fact also remains that Biden had classified materials in his possession that he shouldn't have, haphazardly stored and not secured. If Biden is not charged, then Trump shouldn't be charged either, since the alleged crimes are equal, and Trump could claim to be old and having a bad memory as well.
Hur's assessment of Biden's mental and memory issues simply confirms what has been obvious to people for years. If he's not fit to stand trial, he's not fit to be president.
Weissman the top Mueller investigator for the Trump faux Russian collusion investigations?
He has zero credibility just like every other TDS driven nutjob that suspended rule of law during that investigation.
It is funny to see the author of the mueller report whine about unflattering information Contained in a special counsel’s report where no charges were recommended.
