Biden"reinforces,"makes "problem" of incompetency & fitness for another 4-Year Term worse

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) This is beyond devastating, said one Democrat operative, speaking on the condition of anonymity to be able to talk candidly about Joe Bidens increasingly visible mental shortcomings.In deciding not to charge President Biden with any crimes for repeatedly mishandling Top Secret & Classified Documuents over a period of decades, Special Counsel Robert Hur wrote that in a potential trial:

As a result, said the Report, we would not be able to "establish Mr. Biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."

The portrait of a man, and President, who couldnt remember when he served as Barack Obamas Vice President or the year when his beloved son Beau died dealt a blow to Bidens argument that his mental faculties are still fit enough to serve another four-year term.

Special Counsel Hur wrote there was evidence Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified material after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.

It was tough enough for Biden to reassure voters about his health before Hurs "Investigation Into Unauthorized Removal, Retention & Disclosure of Classified Documents by Joseph R. Biden, Jr." Report, but now that the report has been released, its prompting members of his own Democrat Party to question whether he should or even could remain the nominee in November. Polling has long shown that questions of his mental decline were growing, and looms as Bidens greatest liability in his expected November rematch with former President Donald Trump.

In his remarks Thursday night defending his competency, while talking about the war in Gaza, he referred to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi as being the head of Mexico.

While White House press aides have downplayed such lapses as the sort of mistake anyone in public life can make, the Hur Report strips away the defenses that Bidens press operation has used to protect him and raises fresh doubts about whether Biden is up to the rigors of the presidency, Democratic strategists said in interviews.

Asked if Hurs report changes the calculus for Democrats who expect Biden to be the partys nominee, this person said:

How the f--- does it not?

But Mr. Biden grew emotional when invoking the part of the report addressing the date of his son's death.

"How in the hell dare you raise that?" Biden said. "Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself, 'It wasn't any of their damn business.' "

Beyond Devastating

Another Biden ally called it the worst day of his presidency, saying I think he needs to show us this is a demonstrably false characterization of him, and that he has what it takes to win and govern.

Biden, however, clashed with several reporters, was clearly confused about and referenced the presidents of Egypt and Mexico inappropriately when answering a question about the Middle-East situation, and struck a defiant tone by declaring that he was the most qualified person for the presidency.

Former Obama advisor andCNN Senior Political AnalystDavid Axelrod (left,) said Biden's hastily-called Thursday evening Press Conference "reinforces the meme" that Biden is too old.

Axelrod said that Bidens response simply did not solve the "problem" of the majority of voters thinking hes too old and too incompetent for the job.

While Biden was fortunate to escape indictment, the Special Rounsel report is expected to give Mr. Trump additional fodder as he fights charges for allegedly mishandling classified records at his Mar-a-Lago social club. Republicans are already accusing Biden of benefiting from adouble standard.

Trump will likely brandish the Hur Report as proof that Biden has weaponized the Justice Department for political advantage.

Whats more, Democrats will now be hard-pressed to capitalize on Trumps indictment over retaining classified records.

Before Hurs report, Democrats argued that the two cases were very different. Whereas Trump failed to turn over classified records even after he was asked to do so, Biden willingly cooperated with authorities and relinquished all the material he had, Biden's allies had argued.

Special Counsel Hur's Report, however, mentions at least one instance in February 2017 when Biden was no longer vice president when Biden read notes containing classified information nearly verbatim to a ghostwriter helping him with his book, Promise Me, Dad.

What will stick in the American Voters minds is the public confirmation of Mr. Bidens rapidly declining ability to serve another term as president.
