Hur Transcript: Biden’s Memory Is All But Gone. Wrongly Raged About Special Counsel’s Report

The transcript of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden makes clear that Biden is suffering dementia and cannot perform his duties.

As The New American reported in February, Biden’s fuming reaction to Hur’s claim that Biden couldn’t remember the year his son, Beau, died, signaled the condition.

But new details show just how disconnected Biden is with reality, and again raises the question of who is running the country. Is it Biden, or wife “Dr.” Jill.

“I Don’t Know”

Hur spoke with Biden in connection with his illegally taking classified documents not only to his unsecure home in Delaware but also the China-link Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.

The New York Post culled Biden’s memory lapses, which were not only numerous but also showed that he’s rowing his boat with one oar.

Asked whether he kept vice presidential papers at his home in Northern Virginia, Biden replied, “I don’t know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area?”

That question is where Biden revealed that he didn’t remember when his son died.

“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 [Obama],” Biden said. “I’m not — and not a mean thing to say. He just thought that she [Hillary Clinton] had a better shot of winning the presidency than I did.”

A White House attorney had to shake Biden out of his fugue state, the Post continued:

At that point, White House lawyer Rachel Cotton and an unidentified man reminded Biden that his son died in 2015.

“Was it 2015 he had died?” Biden responded, according to the transcript.

“It was May of 2015,” he was told.

The two-day interview also revealed that Biden forgot what a fax machine is, and he couldn’t remember the name of the National Archives as the nation’s repository of official documents.

Biden’s Anger at Report

Yet the lapse of memory over son Beau’s death at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center also revealed that Biden either lied in his reaction to Hur’s report, which said he didn’t charge Biden because the jury would think he is a forgetful old man. Hur noted that Biden didn’t remember when Beau died — or other significant life events.

Wrote Hur:

He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (“if it was 2013 — when did I stop being Vice President?“), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (“in 2009, am I still Vice President?”). He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died.

That is why Hur knew he couldn’t prosecute Biden for illegally taking classified documents.

“At trial, 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,” Hur’s report said:

Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt.

It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.

Biden, again, didn’t take the report well — at all. “I know there’s some attention paid to some language in the report about my recollection of events,” he said. “There’s even a reference that I don’t remember when my son died. 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.”

Problem is, as the Post observed, Hur didn’t “raise that.” Biden raised his son’s death, and his handlers had to remind him that Beau died in May 2015.

So Biden either lied to make Hur look insensitive, or very possibly, he didn’t remember bringing up Beau’s death.

Inappropriate rages and impulsive behavior, particularly in the evening, are signs of dementia. Such evening spells are called sundowning.

Biden spoke at 7:59 p.m., late in the day for an 81-year-old man.

25th Amendment Time?

Biden’s worsening cognitive abilities suggest that it’s time for his Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, which governs succession to the presidency when the president is unable to carry out his duties because he is disabled mentally or physically. Submitted to Congress in July 1965 in response to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, it passed in 1967 when the last of the 38 states required to do so ratified it.

The 25th says that the president is removed from office whenever the Vice President and a majority of Cabinet officers tell the speaker of the U.S. House and president pro tempore of the U.S. Senate that he cannot do his job. If the president disputes that in writing to say that he can do his duty, he resumes his office unless the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet, within four days, tell the House speaker and Senate president pro-tem that the president is still disabled.

“Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue,” the amendment says.

The chances that Biden’s Cabinet would vote to remove him before Election Day are slim to none. It would mean that Vice President Kamala Harris would likely face President Donald Trump in November’s election, which would all but guarantee losing the White House.

If Biden defeats Trump in November, then and only then might the Cabinet agree to remove him. Most likely, though, they would permit Biden to stay in office and let First Lady “Dr.” Jill do the job, as Edith Wilson did the job when President Woodrow Wilson suffered a paralyzing stroke.

London’s Telegraph recently speculated that FLOTUS Jill is “secretly running the country,” and indeed, she might be the reason that Biden, who will be 82 if reelected in November, is running again.

On Face the Nation recently, Historian Douglas Brinkely recently explained that “Dr.” Jill is in charge.

Presidents Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson left office because their wives wanted to go home and said enough is enough, he explained. But that isn’t the case with “Dr.” Jill:
