Special counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed by Biden-appointed Attorney General Merrick Garland, said Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials" but recommended he not be charged as he'd present to a jury "as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."


From Mediaite, "Special Counsel Finds Biden 'Willfully Retained' Classified Docs But Won't Be Charged":
Special Counsel Robert Hur detailed in a report released on Thursday that President Joe Biden did take classified documents home with him, but that he should not face criminal charges over the matter.

"We conclude that no criminal charges are warranted in this matter. 1 We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president. 2 Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen," read the report's executive summary of its probe into Biden.

From Mediaite, "‘Elderly Man with a Poor Memory': Devastating DOJ Report Says Biden 'Did Not Remember When He Was Vice President' and 'When His Son Died' ":
[...] Hur stated that if Biden were charged, the president could present to a jury "as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

[...] Hur's report describes Biden's memory in damning terms, at one point stating that it "appeared to have significant limitations." The report recounts a recorded 2017 conversation with Mark Zwonitzer – who helped Biden write two memoirs – in unflattering terms:

Mr. Biden's recorded conversations with Zwonitzer from 2017 are often painfully slow, with Mr. Biden struggling to remember events and straining at times to read and relay his own notebook entries.

In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended ("if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?"), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began ("in 2009, am I still Vice President?"). He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him. Among other things, he mistakenly said he "had a real difference" of opinion with General Karl Eikenberry, when, in fact, Eikenberry was an ally whom Mr. Biden cited approvingly in his Thanksgiving memo to President Obama.

A Dementia Patient Is President Because It Doesn't Matter Who The President Is​

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

So it turns out the dementia symptoms Biden’s supporters have long dismissed as a “stutter” are actually exactly what they look like.
The special counsel assigned to investigate Joe Biden for mishandling classified documents reports that investigators “uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” but concludes that “no criminal charges are warranted in this matter.”
Which normally would be cause for a sigh of relief by this administration and its supporters, except that among the reasons given for this conclusion is that the president has gone senile.
“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Special Counsel Robert Hur writes to Attorney General Merrick Garland, saying that “Mr. Biden’s memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with our office in 2023. And his cooperation with our investigation… will likely convince some jurors that he made an innocent mistake, rather than acting willfully — that is, with intent to break the law — as the statute requires.”
Hur reports that in interviews Biden couldn’t even remember things as fundamental as the years of his term as vice president, or when his son Beau died. Hur also writes that Biden’s memory had gotten worse between the aforementioned recorded 2017 interviews and the interviews with the president last year.
In short, the president’s brain don’t work. It’s shot. The “leader of the free world” has rusted out gray matter. It’s like swiss cheese in there.

And it is indeed getting worse. During a press conference in which Biden was ostensibly meant to reassure the world that his brain is working fine in light of the big news, the president referred to the president of Egypt as the president of Mexico and froze mid-speech when he unsuccessfully tried to remember where his son got the rosary he carries from. Just this week Biden has mistakenly referred to dead European leaders as still being in office, not once but twice.
If you were still laboring under the delusion that it matters who the US president is, the fact that an actual, literal dementia patient has held that office for three years now should dispel that notion once and for all. The US empire has been marching along in exactly the same way it was before Biden took office, completely unhindered by the fact that the person who’s supposedly calling the shots is in a state of degenerative neurological free-fall.
Literally anyone could hold that office and it would make no meaningful difference in the way the US empire is run. A coma patient could be president. A jar of kalamata olives could be president. The position which Americans hold elections over in the belief that it could bring positive changes to their country and their world is nothing but a figurehead.
Which is a bit of a problem for Americans who would like to change certain aspects of their government’s behavior, like for example the backing of an active genocide in Gaza. Whose conscience do they work to appeal to if the person they were told is in charge actually isn’t? Who do they vote for if the people who really call the shots aren’t even on the ballot?


https://x.com/_johnnymaga/status/1755760279412179059?s=20
The fact that the US president has dementia exposes the uncomfortable truth that the functioning of the empire is too important to be left in the hands of voters. There’s too much power riding on the behavior of the US government from year to year for the electorate to be permitted a say in it.
The globe-spanning power structure that is centralized around the United States is run not by the official elected government of that nation, but by unelected empire managers who filter in and out of each administration and maintain a steady presence in government agencies and government-adjacent institutions. These empire managers form alliances with corporate powers and working relationships with the many nations, assets and partners who function as members of the undeclared US empire.
Which means there’s not really any way for Americans to vote their way out of this mess. If you have a problem with genocide, militarism, economic injustice, authoritarianism, or any other crucial building block for the US-centralized power structure, you will never be permitted to have any influence over those things through the official electoral system. Voting in western “democracies” is done to give us the illusion of control, like letting a toddler play with a toy steering wheel while you drive so they can feel like they’re participating.

https://twitter.com/x/status/1753773628997464515
That doesn’t mean there’s no way out of this mess, just that there’s no way out of this mess that involves voting. We’re already seeing pro-Palestine activists throwing significant obstacles in the operations of Israeli weapons dealers, and the push to educate and inform the public about what’s happening in Gaza has caused Israel to lose control of the narrative so severely that it’s now resorting to desperate online influence ops. Measures like this can be implemented across the board to bring about the end of the imperial power structure. Once enough people begin turning against the empire, using the power of our numbers to force real change will quickly move from impossible to possible to likely to inevitable.
But we’ve got to stop hanging all our hopes on the electoral system first. Every four years we see American attention get sucked up into this empty puppet show about which soulless empire manager should be the temporary official figurehead at the front desk of the permanent imperial machine, and if you want to vote by all means go ahead and vote. But don’t let that performative ritual distract you from the real project: to wake up our fellow humans and begin forcing real change.
 
Leaked Biden Photos Just Erupted in D.C. – These Could Doom Joe’s 2024 Campaign

Leaked Biden Photos Just Erupted in D.C. – These Could Doom Joe’s 2024 Campaign



Two years ago, the media had a field day when FBI agents raided Donald Trump’s home at Mar-a-Lago. They wanted us to believe that Trump had committed some kind of heinous crime, for holding onto documents from his presidency.

That argument lost steam when it was discovered that Joe Biden had held onto documents from his time as vice president. Many, many documents, both at an office and his garage.

A special counsel was appointed to investigate Biden’s handling of top secret or confidential material. While it is unlikely he will face prosecution over this situation, his aides are fearing what will happen—if certain photos are revealed.
From Fox News:
President Biden’s team reportedly is fearing that photos included in Special Counsel Robert Hur’s imminent report on the handling of classified documents could impact his 2024 reelection bid.
The images could show how Biden stored classified materials, which were discovered in late 2022 in the garage of Biden’s Delaware home as well as in a private office. The classified documents were carried over from Biden’s time as former President Obama’s vice president…
Biden’s aides told Axios that they are fearful former President Trump’s campaign could use the photos against the Democrat incumbent ahead of their likely 2024 rematch.

Special Counsel Hur’s report over Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents is soon to be released. Most don’t think Biden will face prosecution over the mishandling of many documents. But his campaign knows that if photos of what he did are released to the public, it could further damage his re-election chances.
They specifically fear what Donald Trump might do with those photos. Biden and Democrats are trying to nail Trump to the wall over documents he stored in a double-locked closet at Mar-a-Lago.

Yet Biden kept many documents in a garage, where he kept his car. There does not appear to be evidence that Biden took additional steps to secure the documents, even though people like his son Hunter had been using the house as a resident for years.
Biden also kept classified material at an office. It is unknown at this time who had access to that office—and what, if any, of the material was seen by authorized people.

Donald Trump is likely to use these photos to accuse the government of a double standard. He is facing a federal prosecution, despite claiming to have cooperated with federal authorities. Meanwhile, Biden was holding onto many more documents, for years, in far less secure locations.
This might serve to further outrage voters who believe the federal government is biased and corrupt. And it could turn off voters who are on the fence for Biden.

Key Takeaways:​

  • Biden’s campaign fears the damage caused by photos coming out in a new report.
  • The report comes from the investigation into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents.
  • Biden has been accused of improperly storing documents in his garage and at an office.

Impeachment evidence counters Biden's claims, shows he met with many of son’s major foreign clients​

"Hunter Biden offered nothing of value to any of these foreign nationals. The only thing he had a value was his father," Rep. James Comer says.

From emails and photos to sworn testimony and FBI documents, the House impeachment inquiry has meticulously established that Joe Biden met in person with many of his son's large foreign clients, including Russian, Chinese and Ukrainian business executives.
That evidence mounts as lawmakers try to debunk the president's claims he had nothing to do with his family's business.
"Hunter Biden offered nothing of value to any of these foreign nationals. The only thing he had a value was his father, who was the sitting vice president of the United States and someone that they hope would be president someday," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told the "Just the News, No Noise" television show Tuesday night after an explosive impeachment inquiry interview earlier in the day with former Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski.
Asked how many of the large foreign clients who paid Hunter Biden's businesses millions did not meet with his father, Comer answered: "I haven't found a single person."

The president has quite loudly and definitively denied ever meeting with any of his son's business partners. The Washington Post published a clip reel of Biden making the claim over and over. But the evidence continues to pile up that the claim simply isn't true.
The latest Biden confidant to confirm the President met with Hunter's foreign clients was Rob Walker. A friend who knew Hunter Biden since the 1990s, Walker testified unequivocally in an interview transcript released by Comer's team on Tuesday that Joe Biden met with a delegation of officials from the Chinese energy company CEFC, including its Chairman Ye Jianming, at a lunch in Washington, D.C. shortly after leaving office.
That hotel meeting occurred just days before CEFC made its first payment totaling $3 million to a Hunter Biden-tied company, the transcript showed.
Walker's testimony – and the fact that the president did indeed meet often with his son's business partners and clients – is bolstered by an FBI interview with presidential brother James Biden and congressional testimony by former Hunter Biden associate Devon Archer that confirmed similar meetings between the future president and the family's business associates.
To date, congressional investigators have confirmed that Joe Biden met with the following foreign associates alongside his son between 2013 and 2017:
  • Ye Jianming, Chairman of CEFC China Energy
  • Jonathan Li, another Chinese businessman and a principal of Bohai Capital who created a joint venture with Hunter Biden.
  • Vadim Pozharskyi, an executive of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings who paid Hunter Biden and Archer millions to serve on its board.
  • Yelena Baturina, a Russian oligarch and real estate investor who paid millions to a firm associated with Hunter Biden's partners.
  • Kenes Rakishev & Karim Massimov, a Kazakhstani oligarch and former prime minster, respectively.
Comer said Thursday, though not a foreigner, Bobulinski also testified he met with Joe Biden as the top executive of a company called Sinohawk that was partnering in the deal with CEFC.
"Bobulinski confirmed that he met with Joe Biden on more than one occasion and discussed business," Comer said. "Joe Biden knew he was going in business with with Hunter and with Jim Biden, and he knew that the business was selling the Biden brand. Tony Bobulinski said under oath today that the business the Bidens were engaged in was selling the Biden brand. They were influence peddling."
Comer said the conflict between the testimony of family friends and associates and the president's own claims has grown so large that it has become a major focus of impeachment. "Remember, he said numerous times he never met with any of them. He's even said he didn't even know that Hunter was on the board of Burisma for a long time. I mean, lie after lie after lie," he said.
Here is a breakdown of each major interaction between Joe Biden and a foreign business associate of Hunter Biden's, according to the evidence made public by the House impeachment inquiry.

Chairman Ye Jianming​

Ye Jianming was the Chairman and founder of CEFC China Energy, an energy conglomerate with close ties to the Chinese Communist Party that sought investment deals across the world, from the heart of Europe to the Middle East. CEFC partnered with Hunter Biden and his associates to use the influence of his name to facilitate investment deals abroad and in the United States, according to testimony by Hunter Biden's associate and friend Rob Walker.
The early contours of the deal between Hunter and his business partners and CEFC began to take shape in early 2016. In March of that year, Hunter Biden and his partners sent a letter to CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming expressing their anticipation to work together on opportunities in the U.S. and abroad. The memo boasted Hunter Biden’s letterhead, according to the document, recently published by the House Oversight Committee.
By February 2017, weeks after Joe Biden left the vice presidency, CEFC Chairman Ye and the American business partners met in Miami to hammer out the deal—a joint venture between the Chinese energy company and a company formed by Hunter Biden and his associates. But, the first payments to the enterprise would not come until after Joe Biden met Chairman Ye.
Later that year, in early 2017, Hunter Biden and his business associates met with a CEFC delegation, including its Chairman Ye Jianming, at a lunch in Washington, D.C. According to testimony that Rob Walker gave to the House Oversight Committee, Joe Biden joined his son and the delegation of CEFC officials at the lunch and spoke to the assembled group.

According to Walker’s testimony, shortly after that lunch where Ye Jianming met the former vice president, a CEFC affiliate wired $3 million to Walker’s company, Robinson Walker LLC, the first transfer in the deal between the Chinese energy company and Hunter Biden’s group.

Jonathan Li​

A similar pattern is found in an earlier venture with a Chinese businessman, Jonathan Li, who joined with Hunter Biden and his associates in forming BHR Partners, a private equity firm that was backed by several Chinese state owned enterprises, including the Bank of China.
In November 2013, Jonathan Li and Hunter Biden—who was partnered with Devon Archer, another business associate who testified in the impeachment inquiry—signed a memorandum of understanding to create the proposed joint venture. The following month, in December 2013, Hunter Biden flew to Beijing aboard Air Force Two with his father during an official government trip.
During the trip to China, Hunter Biden arranged a meeting between Joe Biden and Jonathan Li in the lobby of their hotel. “How do I go to Beijing, halfway around the world, and not see them for a cup of coffee?” Biden told The New Yorker magazine. Twelve days after the visit, BHR Partners was officially registered in China.

Hunter Biden’s lawyer insisted that his board position was unpaid and that Biden never received compensation for his original investment in the company. Hunter Biden’s friend and lawyer, Kevin Morris, who loaned the first son millions in the lead up to the 2020 presidential election, purchased Biden’s stake in BHR, according to documents gathered by law enforcement and reviewed by Just the News.

Vadim Pozharskyi​

In April 2015, Hunter Biden hosted a dinner at the Cafe Milano in Washington, D.C. which was attended by several of his business partners, including Vadim Pozharskyi, an executive at Burisma Holdings. The younger Biden had joined the board of Burisma about one year earlier, according to a report from The New York Times.
According to sworn testimony from Devon Archer and evidence from Hunter Biden’s infamous abandoned laptop, Joe Biden attended this dinner meeting. Shortly after the meeting, Pozharskyi went as far as sending a "thank you" note to Hunter for the opportunity to meet his father.
Later that year, in December 2015, Vadim Pozharskyi and Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner and founder of Burisma, requested Hunter Biden call his father when pressure against the company by the Ukrainian government was ramping up. This request came amidst an escalating probe by the country’s then-prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, according to Devon Archer’s testimony.

Days after the requested phone call, Vice President Biden arrived in Kyiv for a visit with the country’s senior leadership and ignoring his own State Department's recommendations, "called an audible" and demanded Shokin’s firing in exchange for a $1 billion loan guarantee from the United States.

Yelena Baturina​

In early April 2014, Yelena Baturina, a real estate investor and the widow of a former Moscow mayor, deposited $3.5 million into a bank account tied to a Hunter Biden business. The payment was made to facilitate a real estate deal in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City.
Weeks later, Hunter Biden hosted a dinner at the same Washington, D.C. restaurant and invited Yelena Baturina, who attended, according to Devon Archer’s testimony. Archer also told the Oversight Committee that then-Vice President Biden was also in attendance. Baturina has conspicuously been able to avoid sanctions by the U.S. government against Russian oligarchs, most recently from the Biden Administration.

Kenes Rakishev & Karim Massimov​

Two more associates of Hunter Biden attended the 2014 dinner at Cafe Milano, a Kazakhstani oligarch named Kenes Rakishev and the country’s former prime minister, Karim Massimov.

Between 2012 and 2014, Hunter Biden attempted to help Rakishev secure investment opportunities in the United States—in New York, Washington, D.C. and in Nevada—according to the New York Post.
The following month, after Rakishev dined with then-Vice President Biden, he wired $142,300 to an entity connected to Hunter Biden. The following day, the same amount was wired to a New Jersey car dealership to pay for a Porsche sports car for Hunter Biden, according to bank records obtained by the Oversight Committee.
The former prime minister of Kazakhstan Karim Massimov was also present at the 2014 dinner meeting with the vice president. The following year, in 2015, Massimov also attended a meeting at the vice presidential residence—the Naval Observatory—with Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, and Marc Holtzman, who was the top official at the largest bank in Kazakhstan.
The object of the meeting, according to Archer, was to advocate for Massimov to become the United Nations Secretary General, the top official at the international body. Archer explained that he and Hunter Biden were also interesting in securing Massimov’s assistance to facilitate an energy deal for Burisma in Kazakhstan at the time.

Correction: an earlier version of this article mistakenly referred to the payment from Kenes Rakishev to Hunter Biden occurring the same month as the 2014 dinner rather than the following month (02/16/24).
