We knew that special counsel Robert Hur was never going to recommend prosecution of President Biden for his mishandling of classified documents, but we didn’t see this coming (per Axios):

[Hur’s] report said that “Biden’s memory also appeared to have significant limitations,” citing his interview with the special counsel’s office and recorded conversations with his ghostwriter.

• “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died,” the report said. “And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.”

• “We have also considered that, 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.”

And this:

“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?’),” the report says.

Hur’s report is posted online here. The White House has posted a statement in Biden’s name here. As I wrote coincidentally this morning, Biden is increasingly ripe for institutionalization of the Memory Care variety.
