Flotsam and Jetsam - Joe Biden is Too Senile to Prosecute, Day Two

Yesterday (even the night before that if you were plugged into TV news) we were told that Special Prosecutor Robert Hue had exonerated Joe Biden from the charge of mishandling classified document while he was a Senator and Vice President, on the grounds that as a feeble old guy with obvious memory problems, and the ability to act friendly, a jury (notably a Washington DC jury) would find him too piteous to convict. At the Center Square  Read the Full text of the report clearing Biden in classified documents probe. Steven Kruiser at PJM,  RIP Jurisprudence — President Séance Judged Too Senile to Get in Trouble. Dan Greenfield at Front Page, The President is Senile, "Special Counsel’s report finds Biden suffers from “significant limitations”." At Reason, a Nice Old Man. "Biden’s Age and Memory Questioned After Special Counsel Report." Breitbart puts it Special Counsel Finds Joe Biden ‘Willfully Retained’ Classified Docs — but Is Too Mentally Feeble to Prosecute. At OTP, The List: Hur Documents Biden’s Dementia; Memory Loss Dates Back A Decade, and may well come and go as needed. Reagan Reese at Da Caller, Biden Forgot When His VP Run Began And Ended, Beau’s Death During Classified Docs Interview, Special Counsel Says. Insty, at his NYPo gig, Joe Biden’s email aliases reveal truth behind aw-shucks facade. "He speaks nonsense, he shows flashes of inappropriate anger, he walks off stage in the middle of events, and he has trouble with stairs. Even Democrats are beginning to admit to serious doubts about his ability to function as president. But what if it’s all an act?"New Neo, says The Hur report is shocking "It’s shocking because we expected an exoneration, and this is not an exoneration. It exposes Biden’s slipshod treatment of the records, various coverups, and above all his serious cognitive challenges. Many people thought that Biden wouldn’t be running in 2024 – although I have long thought he will, for the simple reason that a substitute is hard to find. But I doubt most people thought that Hur’s report would provide a reason to jettison Biden while simultaneously announcing a decision not to prosecute. Kind of a twofer." Capt. Ed "Again, there was never a possibility of an indictment. The DoJ will not indict a sitting president for valid constitutional reasons, a policy that goes back to Watergate. I expected Hur's report to detail Biden's handling of the classified material and for those details to be damaging, and perhaps even shocking. What I didn't expect was for Biden to posture as a doddering old incompetent to escape responsibility for those violations, and for Hur to be as blunt about Biden's incapacities as his report turned out to be." Althouse, "I was so determined to give the special counsel what they needed that I went forward with five hours of in-person interviews over two days on Oct. 8 and 9 of last year..." ""... even though Israel had just been attacked on Oct. 7 and I was in the middle of handling an international crisis. I just believed that’s what I owed the American people.” Said President Biden's written statement, quoted in "Special Counsel’s Report Puts Biden’s Age and Memory in the Spotlight/After an inquiry concluded that President Biden was 'well-meaning' but had 'a poor memory,' he angrily fired back in an attempt at political damage control" (NYT)."

A former FBI intelligence officer said "Not only does it violate federal records laws [...] Gmail is not a secure government communications system.  And especially not for White House business.”"

PJM's Matt Margolis thinks Kavanaugh Destroys Colorado's Case to Kick Trump Off Ballot "Some of the rhetoric of your position — I don't think it is your position — some of the rhetoric of your position seems to suggest, unless the states can do this, no one can prevent insurrectionists from holding federal office," Kavanaugh began. "But obviously, Congress has enacted statutes — including ones still in effect — Section 2383 of Title 18 prohibits insurrection; it's a federal criminal statute, and if you're convicted of that, you are — shall be disqualified from holding any office. And so there is a federal statute on the books, but President Trump has not been charged with that."

Jeff Clark, U.S. Assistant Attorney General from 2018 to 2021, is a key target -- alongside Donald Trump and others -- of intense political persecution and lawfare, due to his efforts to uphold election integrity and remedy well-documented election fraud across states like Georgia in the wake of the 2020 election. Clark, whom the Washington Post acknowledges as a “rising legal star for Republicans,” is being forced to fight two cases and multiple charges at once, revolving around his mere drafting of a letter in December 2020 addressed to state government officials in Georgia regarding the Department of Justice “investigating various irregularities” in the election. The letter, which Clark emailed to acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen and acting deputy attorney general Richard Donoghue for review, was ultimately blocked by the Department of Justice’s chain of command from being sent to Georgia state officials."
