A segment of former President Joe Biden's October 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur just dropped, and boy is it rough.
Biden couldn't remember details such as when his son Beau died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected, and why he had classified documents in his possession that he shouldn't have had.
According to Axios, which released the recording, Biden frequently slurred words or muttered, and "appears to validate Hur's assertion that jurors in a trial likely would have viewed Biden as "a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

Here's the supposedly full audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur interviewing President Joe Biden.
The segment released last night was cherry-picked to reflect a narrative that supports the Hur/DOJ's convenient conclusion that Biden was guilty but unfit for trial due to his cognitive deficits.
The full audio, by contrast, shows Biden in full command of the facts when it suited him but growing wary and vague and filibustering when he perceived that the prosecutors were building a trap. And in case he didn't detect it, his lawyer Bob Bauer would interrupt to alert him. Merrick Garland and Robert Hur did not want to charge the sitting president, obviously, but they had too much incriminating evidence, such as classified material all over his home and office including from his days as senator, interviews his former aide Kathy Chung and a recorded conversation with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, in February 2017, in which Biden said that he had just found all the classified stuff downstairs in the basement of his Virginia home.
Hur's ingenious excuse leveraging Biden's cognitive issues got everyone off the hook.
There is much more to this story than the Biden-was-senile cover up. More importantly, Biden was corrupt -- and that is still being covered up.
Why? My guess is it's because the cover-up artists still work in the DOJ and they are now covering up their cover up under the noses of Trump's appointees.
