As I've said before. There are some things people can say, especially in interviews that you just kind of forgive, especially when you're being accused of something. You tend to think only in the lines of protecting yourself. If Hur was the one switching subjects, it would have been more than logical joe would've muffed that one. The issue is he was trying to categorize the chain of events in his life, and Beau's death was part of that. At that time, he was using his timeline to categorize the events other things in his life. So it wasn't about Hur tricking him. joe was using the death as a marker for his timeline.
Had he let that just die, it would have been fine. The anger afterwards and the story are issues. And typical of dementia.
Biden Lied About Beau Exchange With Robert Hur During Angry Press Conference, Transcript Confirms
President Joe Biden lied about an exchange with special counsel Robert Hur regarding his son Beau during an angry press conference following the release of Hur’s report last month, a transcript of their five-hour interview confirms.
Hur’s report detailing the president’s handling of classified documents made several notes about Biden’s memory, including that he forgot the date of his son’s death and when his vice presidency began and ended. Biden held an unexpected press conference a few hours after the release of the report, criticizing Hur for questioning his late son’s death. The president, however, was the one who raised the date of his son’s death, according to the transcript the Daily Caller obtained.
Rather than pushing Biden about the date of Beau Biden’s death, Hur questioned the president on where work-related papers were being kept following the conclusion of his vice presidency in January of 2017.
“Well, um … I, I, I, I, I don’t know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area?” Biden began.
There are some others. Remember, these are questions regarding classified material storage.
Biden said he had no memory of a comment he made about a 2009 memo to then-President Barack Obama about surging troops to Afghanistan. Biden had told the ghostwriter for his memoir that he found the memo amongst classified documents downstairs.
“It has nothing to do with the investigation, you’ll understand why this is sensitive,” Biden said. “The president thought that I knew a lot more about Afghanistan than he did, and other members of the administration.”
Biden added that the memo was handwritten because it would have taken him five times as long to type it.
In his report, Hur noted that Biden willfully kept classified documents, but declined to pursue charges. The special counsel justified his decision by citing the memory lapses and adding that the jury might see Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
On page 72 of the transcript, it is not President Biden who admits to “misremembering” things from just moments earlier. It’s the Special Counsel himself,” White House spokesperson Ian Sams tweeted, after retweeting a number of other posts defending the president from Hur’s claims about his memory.
