Biden’s Deception: Lies about Hur, Beau, and Classified Document Theft
Joe Biden’s Memory Lapses Exposed in Transcripts
One of the big takeaways from the newly-released transcript of Joe Biden’s two-day interview with Robert Hur is that the special counsel was being quite generous when describing the president “as an elderly man with a poor memory.” That is no longer in doubt if it ever was.
Tucked within the incoherent answers and spiraling word salads, the reader is often entertained by Biden’s blowhard-y non-sequiturs. We learn about Biden’s Corvette — twice. We learn that the president is a frustrated architect but an excellent archer. Biden jokes that there might be risqué pictures of Dr. First Lady Jill Biden.
The fact that the entire two-day interview isn’t a giant nonsensical rant is not as impressive as his defenders might believe. The president is, indeed, completely coherent at times. And those are the times when he’s probably lying.
When Hur released his report last month, for example, it noted that Biden couldn’t recall the year his son died. This is not the kind of event that typically slips a healthy person’s mind — not even one who is constantly trying to emotionally manipulate the public with misleading claims about the cause of his son’s death.
Recall that Biden feigned great anger about this alleged interaction. “There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died,” he barked at reporters when the report was released. “How in the hell dare he raise that? Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself: It wasn’t any of their damn business.”
The transcript shows that it was Biden who brought up his late son Beau, not Hur. The president claimed he believed Beau had died in 2017 or 2018 when he had tragically died of brain cancer in 2015.
Who knows? Maybe he forgot. Reading the full context of his answer, and considering the president’s lifelong fabulism, however, it is not entirely out of the question that Biden purposely floated the wrong date to try and justify his pilfering of classified documents. Either way, it’s bad.
Here is the key interaction:
MR. HUR: So during this time when you were living at Chain Bridge Road and there were documents relating to the Penn Biden Center, or the Biden Institute, or the Cancer Moonshot, or your book, where did you keep papers that related to those things that you were actively working on?
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Well, um .. . I , I, I, I, I don’ t know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area?
MR. HUR: Yes, sir.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Remember, in this timeframe, my son is either been deployed or is dying, and, and so it was and by the way, there were still a lot of people at the time when I got out of the Senate that were encouraging me to run in this period, except the President. I’m not — and not a mean thing to say. He just thought that she had a better shot of winning the presidency than I did. And so I hadn’t, I hadn’t, at this point — even though I’m at Penn, I hadn’t walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, I’d be running for President. And, and so what was happening, though – what month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30th –
MS. COTTON: 2015.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: 2015.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: Was it 2015 he had died?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: It was May of 2015.
PRESIDENT BIDEN: It was 2015.
By the way, Just as Beau did not die in Iraq, Joe was never “at Penn,” not in any real way. The outgoing vice president was bequeathed an honorary professor position at the school, which the Philadelphia Inquirer noted in 2019 was “a vaguely defined role that involved no regular classes and around a dozen public appearances on campus, mostly in big, ticketed events.”
More importantly, Biden also contradicted himself when speaking about the documents themselves.
When Hur asked the president about the classified papers in his possession, the president contended that he “had no purpose for them, and I think it would be inappropriate for me to keep clearly classified documents.” But Hur, in his prepared testimony for Congress, says: “We also identified other recorded conversations during which Mr. Biden read classified information aloud to his ghostwriter.”
So, the documents did have a very specific purpose. Those files were used, according to Amtrak Joe, to help earn $15 million in the two years after he left the Obama administration.
When the Hur report was released, the left wing did what they always do when confronted with bad news: they feigned a meltdown. They smeared the messenger. They concoct conspiracy theories. They denied reality.
The media continues to frame Hur’s findings as an exoneration of Biden to head off the (correct) perception that there is a stark, selective prosecution when it comes to the hoarding of classified documents. Donald Trump, yes. Biden and Hillary Clinton, no.
In The New York Times, Charlie Savage begins the paper’s story on the leaked transcripts by misleading readers with the contention that Hur had found “insufficient evidence to charge Mr. Biden.”
This is not true. Hur’s report concluded that Biden came off as too feeble-minded to be convicted by a jury for his decades-long mishandling of classified information. According to the special counsel, the president had “willfully retained classified information.” And he had done it for years before winning the presidency.
So, the fact remains that there are two ways to look at the Hur report. Either the president lacks the mental acuity to be charged for breaking the law, or he should be charged for breaking the law. Pick one.
How can Joe Biden’s claim of not knowing the whereabouts of important documents related to the Penn Biden Center, the Biden Institute, the Cancer Moonshot, and his book affect his ability to handle sensitive information and fulfill his responsibilities as president?
Documents related to the Penn Biden Center, the Biden Institute, the Cancer Moonshot, and his book, Biden claimed that he didn’t know where those papers were kept. This is quite concerning considering these were important documents that he should have been actively working on. It raises questions about his ability to handle sensitive information and fulfill his responsibilities as president.
Moreover, Biden’s response also reveals his habit of fabricating stories for personal gain. He mentioned that during that timeframe, his son was either deployed or dying, and this became a reason for him not knowing the whereabouts of the documents. However, it has been proven that his son, Beau, tragically died of brain cancer in 2015, not during the timeframe he mentioned. This raises suspicions about whether he purposely floated the wrong date to cover up his mishandling of classified documents or if he simply forgot. In any case, it is a serious issue that undermines his credibility.
It is also worth noting that Biden’s past involvement with the University of Pennsylvania is highly exaggerated. He was given an honorary professor position, but it was a vague role that didn’t involve regular classes or significant contributions to the university. His claim of being “at Penn” is misleading and shows his tendency to present himself in a more important and influential light than he actually was.
Furthermore, Biden’s contradictory statements further add to the concerns about his memory lapses. In one part of the transcript, he claims not to know where the documents were kept, but later on, he contradicts himself by speaking about the documents and their content. The inconsistency in his statements raises doubts about his ability to remember and handle important information accurately.
These memory lapses and inconsistencies are not something that can be taken lightly, especially considering the role of the president in making crucial decisions and representing the country on a global stage. The American people deserve a leader who is mentally sharp and capable of fulfilling their duties effectively. Biden’s frequent memory lapses and fabrications call into question his fitness for the job and raise concerns about his ability to lead the nation.
In conclusion, the recently released transcript of Joe Biden’s interview highlights his memory lapses, incoherence, and tendency to fabricate stories. His inability to recall important details, contradictory statements, and exaggerations about his past involvement with the University of Pennsylvania demonstrate a lack of credibility and raise serious concerns about his fitness for the presidency. The American people deserve a leader who is mentally fit, coherent, and capable of fulfilling their responsibilities effectively.
