Joe Biden assured that his memory is fine, after a report reveals that he is an old man with a bad memory and questions his cognitive capacity.
Joe Biden declared this Thursday, February 8, from the White House, to talk about the closing of the investigation on the classified documents he kept in his possession.
Biden assured that his memory is fine, but for some present, he was very angry.
On the one hand, the 81-year-old U.S. president welcomed the fact that special prosecutor Robert Hur had decided that there were no grounds for charges.
More, however, Biden assured that his memory is fine in a tone that was considered mlestic.
“My memory is fine,” Biden has said, replying to the report’s assertion about his limitations.
Further, Biden asserted that his memory is fine, saying, “There are even references that I don’t remember when my son died. How the hell dare they bring that up? Frankly, when they asked me the question, I thought it was none of their damn business…I don’t need anyone to remind me when he died,” he has said with his voice almost breaking and pointing out that he wears a rosary of his son Beau, who died in 2015 from brain cancer, every day.

Joe Biden assured that his memory is fine but …. did it again…
Biden assured that his memory is fine, and after leaving, he came back to answer a question about Gaza.
Right in that last answer, he confused the president of Mexico with the president of Egypt, a mistake that could not have been more inopportune.
In that comment, he has said that “the conduct of the response in the Gaza Strip has been unconscionable,” in perhaps the most direct criticism he has uttered of Israel’s actions.
“The president of Mexico, Al Sisi [referring to Egypt’s], did not want to open the door for humanitarian aid to enter” Gaza, and he convinced him.
He added “there are a lot of innocent people starving, there are a lot of innocent people in trouble and dying and that has to stop.”
Earlier, Biden celebrated Hur drawing a line between his case and Trump’s, for which the former president is charged with 40 alleged crimes.
“I was especially pleased to see the special prosecutor make clear the sharp distinction and difference between this case and Mr. Trump’s,” Biden said.
Malicious report.
Despite the fact that there will be no charges, the special prosecutor’s 388-page report is full of accusations for the president.
“Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully withheld and disclosed classified material after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” but the evidence “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt,” the report states. Biden adamantly denies that he willfully withheld classified material.
But what seems to have angered Biden most is that the report portrays him as an old man who has lost his memory and on cross-examination did not remember when his son died or when he was vice president. That comes as a major political blow.
“We do not believe the report’s treatment of President Biden’s memory is accurate or appropriate. The report uses highly prejudicial language to describe a common occurrence among witnesses: a lack of memory about events years ago,” say Bob Bauer and Richard Sauber, in a letter to the prosecutor that appears at the end of the document.
In the report, the prosecutor went on to say that there were no grounds to indict him, but, in addition, that Biden was “likely” to present himself to the jury, “as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” and that it would be difficult to convict him as a result.
