The big news from yesterday and today is that the tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden about unsecured classified documents in Biden’s garage became public. They showed a man who was obviously in the grips of senile dementia and who therefore had no business running anything, let alone the world’s most powerful country, one armed with nuclear weapons.
Since I already knew in 2020 that Biden was suffering from dementia, a progressive condition—and then I’d watched it progress for the next four years—the Hur tapes affirmed what I already knew. They weren’t news, indeed, to any conservatives. What has been newsworthy is watching the media try to explain away their failure to report on Biden’s mental state, going so far as to actively deny what anyone with a functioning brain could see.
Outside of the leftist bubble, the cover-up, not Biden’s dementia, has been the real news. And that gets me to something very peculiar about the release of the Hur interview tapes.
To appreciate my point, you need to go back…back…back in time.
The genesis of all this was the revelation in January 2023 that Biden had been storing in his open garage—without any attempt at protection—classified material that he either removed from the White House while he was Vice President or that he retained from his days as a Senator.
Either way, he had violated national security laws and ought to have been hauled off then and there. Only the president is above those laws. No one else is.
Well, that’s the theory. In fact, Democrats and their allies always get a pass or, as happened with Bradley Manning, the whackadoodle who stole government secrets because he thinks he’s a woman, a pardon.
Instead of handcuffs, Biden was subjected to gentle questioning by Special Counsel Hur. In February 2024, Hur released his report about Biden’s crimes. Ultimately, Hur pretty much pulled a James “8647” Comey. As you may recall, in July 2016, Comey gave a long press conference during which he detailed chapter and verse of Hillary Clinton intentionally bypassing national security protocols to run all of her emails while Secretary of State through an unsecured server in her bathroom. Then, he essentially added that she didn’t mean to do anything wrong, so no sane prosecutor would indict her…and Hillary walked.
