Biden rarely gets angry!
A few days ago, Hull, the special prosecutor in charge of investigating US President Biden’s "document door", issued a report saying that Biden would not face charges for improper handling of classified documents due to insufficient evidence and other factors. However, the report said that the 81-year-old president had a "poor memory" and could not remember many things. The above remarks about memory loss may bring a major blow to Biden’s hope of re-election. Some Republicans claim that this shows that Biden is "unfit" to serve as president.
A few hours after the publication of the above-mentioned report, an angry Biden made a rare evening speech. Biden angered: "The report even mentioned that I can’t remember the time of my son’s death. How dare he (Hull) say so?" Biden insisted that he had a "good memory".
However, Biden made another slip of the tongue when he was questioned by media reporters after his speech at the White House, calling Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah Seyce "President of Mexico" …
The report says Biden’s memory is failing.
On February 8, local time, Robert Hull, the special prosecutor in charge of investigating President joseph robinette’s "document door", released a report, saying that Biden would not face charges for improper handling of classified documents due to insufficient evidence and other factors.
Although he was able to "get out" at the legal level, Biden was caught in another embarrassing situation because of the report. The report specifically mentions that the 81-year-old president has a "poor memory" and can’t remember many things. Some Republicans claim that this shows that Biden is "unfit" to serve as president.
According to Xinhua News Agency, in the 388-page report, Hull detailed how Biden mishandled classified documents. He wrote that FBI agents found those materials in "Biden’s garage, office and basement study at his home in Wilmington, Delaware", including classified documents related to Afghan military and foreign policy, some of which were marked with the highest level of top secret or sensitive information.
However, Hull said that after 15 months of investigation, he chose not to file criminal charges against Biden because Biden was "cooperative and difficult to convict". In addition to listing factors such as insufficient evidence, Hull also mentioned that "poor memory" may be the reason why Biden cannot be convicted.
Hull said in the report that Biden’s memory was "severely limited" when he was questioned, and he forgot the beginning and end of his term as vice president in the administration of former President Barack Obama, and even forgot the year when his eldest son, former Delaware Attorney General bo Biden, died of illness.
The report pointed out, "We have also considered that Biden may appear before the jury as an old man with compassion, goodwill and poor memory, as we did when we asked him." This may convince some jurors that Biden did not intentionally keep the documents, but may have forgotten their existence.
On January 9, last year, the American media disclosed that Biden’s private lawyer found a batch of confidential documents on November 2, 2022 when he cleaned up Biden’s office in the Washington think tank "Biden Diplomacy and Global Contact Center". The White House and Biden confirmed the report the next day. Biden used this office after stepping down as vice president in 2017 and before running for president in 2019. Biden also admitted that his residence also contained classified documents.
Biden is angry! Make a rare speech
Biden, the oldest incumbent president in American history, is currently running for re-election, and may once again confront former president and Republican Donald Trump when voting in the presidential election in November this year. Trump supporters used the above report to highlight concerns about Biden’s age.
According to Agence France-Presse reported on February 8, the angry and emotional US President Joe Biden made a rare evening speech that day, responding to the sharp remarks in a special prosecutor’s report released a few hours ago about his improper handling of confidential documents.
According to the report, when Biden delivered a live televised speech at the White House, he was very angry with the report that he could not even remember the date of his son bo Biden’s death in 2015 and other key moments in his life. Biden fumed: "(The report) even mentioned that I can’t remember the time of my son’s death. How dare he (Hull) say that?" He replied that he didn’t need anyone to remind him when his son died. "What do they care?"
Obviously, Biden tried to control his emotions. Biden insisted that he had a "good memory" and that the accusation that he deliberately kept confidential materials was "completely wrong".
After making a formal speech, Biden answered a question from a White House reporter and said, "I am kind, I am an old man, and of course I know what I am doing." He said: "I am the president, and I have revived the country. Look at the achievements I have made since I became president. "
In addition, Biden’s personal lawyer Bob Bauer said: "Obviously, there was no reason to file criminal charges from the beginning." Bauer and White House legal adviser Richard Sober also said in a letter to Hull that the report mentioned Biden’s memory as "completely redundant".
However, Biden made a slip of the tongue when he was asked by a media reporter after his speech at the White House, calling Egyptian President Abdel-Fatah Seyce "the President of Mexico".
According to the report, Biden and his assistant were investigated by the Ministry of Justice last year for their handling of confidential documents. According to the latest report of special prosecutor Robert Hull, Biden will not be criminally charged for keeping confidential documents; However, the report’s remarks about Biden’s loss of memory may be a major blow to his hope of re-election.
Biden on Trump: "The Threat of Life and Death"
According to CNN’s February 7 news, US President Biden said in a series of fund-raising activities in new york that his predecessor Trump was a "threat of life and death" and Trump had completely held the Republican Party in his hand.
Biden told Democratic donors: "There is a life-and-death threat, and that is Donald Trump." Biden said: "This (election) is not about me, but about Trump."
According to the report, Biden has been trying to promote his political achievements last year, but his support rate has hardly improved. Now, Biden is increasingly pointing his finger at Trump, the front-runner of the Republican presidential candidate. He describes Trump as a threat to democracy and personal freedom. Recently, he also portrayed Trump as a "Svengali-style" Republican leader who controls other people’s minds.
The report mentioned that Biden got a new opportunity this week, because with Trump’s intervention, Republicans in Congress failed to pass a bipartisan immigration bill. Biden said the move exposed the harmful election-year politics and the Republican Party’s loyalty to its actual leaders.
Biden said that Trump "would rather weaponize this issue than really solve it", referring to the failed compromise bill on the border. He said that the failure to pass the border bill this week shows how far the Republican Party has fallen.
According to the report, Biden’s speech indicates that he plans to use the failed border bill to gain political advantages for himself in the next few months.
