Special counsel Robert Hur has declined to prosecute President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents, but said Biden’s practices “present serious risks to national security” and added that Biden portrayed himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” who would be sympathetic to a jury.
“Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report said, but added that the evidence “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Biden said Thursday he was “pleased to see they reached the conclusion I believed all along they would reach — that there would be no charges brought in this case and the matter is now closed,” adding that he “cooperated completely, threw up no roadblocks, and sought no delays.”
Hur’s report included several shocking lines about Biden’s memory, which the report said “was significantly limited” during his 2023 interviews with the special counsel. Biden’s age and presentation would make it more difficult to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the now-81-year-old was guilty of willfully committing a crime.

So simple: if he is not mentally competent to stand trial, he is not capable of being president of the United States. Is this the pathway for his handlers to remove him?
And just like all of Congress is complicit in supporting an illegal president, they are now complicit in covering up his mental illness. There are too many elected officials in Congress who are too old, infirm and mentally able to hold their offices.

The entire administration is complicit in this. Kamala Harris also would have known, and covered it up, therefore making her an accessory to the lie and absolutely disqualified from succeeding Biden.
Interesting times.
Mental incompetence or infirmity did not let people off the hook for WW2 war crimes.
Too senile to be charged, too senile to hold office.
