This is just appalling
Special counsel Robert Hur concluded in a stinging report released Thursday that President Joe Biden willfully kept classified documents from his time as vice president, shared them with an author and knew he had them as far back as 2017, but he recommended against prosecution.
Hur said that part of the reason he declined to prosecute the president’s age and poor memory would create reasonable doubt for jurors.
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,” the prosecutor wrote.
“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,” his report added.
But Hur spared few words for Biden’s handling of classified information, some which were kept in notebooks in insecure locations.
“Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report concluded.

But we’re supposed to believe that he’s competent to be President? 77 is not too old to prosecute but 81 is?
WTF?
