The full transcript undercuts Hurā€™s claims that Biden could not remember his sonā€™s death and had ā€œpoorā€ memory

The full transcript of President Joe Bidenā€™s five-hour interview with special counsel Robert Hurā€™s investigators ā€œpaints a more nuanced portraitā€ of Bidenā€™s memory than the special counselā€™s report, according to The Washington Post, which noted that ā€œBiden doesnā€™t come across as being as absent-minded as Hur has made him out to be.ā€

The transcript ā€œcould raise questions about Hurā€™s depiction of the 81-year-old president as having ā€˜significant limitationsā€™ on his memory,ā€ according to The Associated Press.

Hur in his report declined to charge Biden, arguing that it would be difficult to convince a jury to convict with a memory that the special counsel described as ā€œfaultyā€ and ā€œpoor,ā€ noting that Biden could not recall when his son Beau died or when he served as vice president.

But Biden said exactly when his son died in the interview.

    The only way out of this is education. This drivel is maddening. Human minds are as wasted and polluted as the environment.

      Iā€™ve long been advocating for the Democratic party to adopt a Teacherā€™s classroom mindset. Think about what Bernie, Warren, and Porter did in basically elevating the understanding of civics, history, and current-events of our country.
