Transcript shows Hur was misleading about Biden forgetting date of Beau's death

*shocked Pikachu*

Remember when all of us red avatar "hacks" were called as such for pointing out Hur is a partisan Republican likely to do something like this?

After the Hur Report broke, I actually found an old post of mine in an emo Facebook group where I talked about the last time I saw some band, and said something like "Man it was back in 2006, I was in college, huh?" That's quite similar to what Biden was quoted as saying as to him being Vice-President then.

Obviously I didn't forget what years I was in college and I could tell you that off hand easily. It's a rhetorical statement. If Hur compiled my posts and tried to imply that I'm going senile he could do the same thing, although no one would believe it because I'm much younger than Biden. But it's the same level of intellectual dishonesty.

My grandmother died last July. I was very close with her and I consider her one of the most important people to ever be a part my life. I cannot at this time remember what day she died (I think it was July 15th off the top of my head without checking) and if anyone ever impugned my love or respect for my grandmother based on that fact alone, I'd punch them right in their f--king face. Disgusting that this has become a repeated attack on the President. He clearly loves both of his sons and has endured tremendous personal tragedy throughout his life. He has multiple dates where people very close to him have died and I wouldn't fault him one bit for forgetting one of them--even though the transcript makes it clear that he did not forget.

My grandfather died last month and I had to think about the date. It then hit me that's an easy one because I was joking with my brother about how he had a lousy birthday...because it happened on his birthday. So easy to remember based on that, but still, if it had just been some random day in February I don't think I could recall that right away.

The thing that bothers me, and I can't get past, is that Hur said that he would have prosecuted Biden but for the fact that he would have trouble getting a conviction because Biden the project an avuncular  aura   and along with his cognitive issues, would thus prove to be a sympathetic witness.   In short, Hur's commentary about Biden's cognitive issues with certainly not gratuitous, but rather central to his decision not to prosecute Biden.

It's pretty obvious: Hur knew there was no case against Biden and he couldn't be charged, but he's a hack who didn't want to admit that outright, so instead he construed this absurd excuse as to why Biden shouldn't be charged.
