President Joe Biden’s personal attorney said Sunday he went to both the special counsel and the attorney general to register concerns over what he viewed to be pejorative and unnecessary digs at the president’s memory.
“This is a report that went off the rails,” Bob Bauer said on CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday. “It’s a shabby work product.”
The special counsel was investigating whether the president mishandled classified documents during his previous positions as vice president and senator, and found this week that no criminal charges were warranted.
But in building his argument for why no charges were necessary, Special Counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, detailed in part that Biden’s defense of any potential charges could possibly be that: “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
So, at no point did she say it was rigged. Gotcha.
I knew this because she never actually said so. Because she is not a lying sack of shit like trump. If you go look at her actual comments, rather than these cherry picked comments by the national review desperately trying to paint her as equivalent to trump in order to justify supporting the democracy hater, you’ll see she points to valid, actual concerns about things like voter suppression. Not just suspicion based on things they don’t understand and continuing the claim fraud even when what cause the suspicion was explained.
They’re not even remotely the same, regardless of how much one tries to spin it.
Ok bud.
