Update: Listen to all five hours of the Hur-Biden interview below:
* * *
A segment of former President Joe Biden’s October 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur just dropped, and boy is it rough.
Biden couldn’t remember details such as when his son Beau died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected, and why he had classified documents in his possession that he shouldn’t have had.
According to Axios, which released the recording, Biden frequently slurred words or muttered, and “appears to validate Hur’s assertion that jurors in a trial likely would have viewed Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
Listen:
Hur elected not to prosecute Biden for mishandling classified documents based partly on the former president’s pea-soup brain – angering Republicans as Trump was facing his own charges of mishandling classified information.
It’s also of course notable because the MSM insisted Biden was “sharp,” and slammed Hur’s assertions as politically motivated.
Tapper says here that the footage of Biden freezing on stage was not a "Cheap fake". Exact words.

Okay so when he does he pull Brian Stelter on his show and ask him why he called it that, echoing the White house? When does the media pull Karine Jean-Pierre out of hiding and ask… https://t.co/D0JaXwKv65
The audio was from two three-hour sessions on Oct. 8 and 9, 2023 – which the Biden White House refused to release, arguing that they were protected “law enforcement materials,” and that Republicans only sought to “chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes.”
Let’s go to the tape…

"To suggest that [Biden] couldn't remember when his son died is really out of bounds." pic.twitter.com/Roj31EBJyN
Don’t forget the way the press tried to dismiss Hur’s report. https://t.co/9Sd2NdVWuw

How long did Axios have this recording? Before the election?

It’s utterly ridiculous this is a topic of discussion OR debate. Every rational, sane person saw Biden fall, wander, stumble, mumble, forget, misspeak & make a fool out of himself for 5 years starting in late 2018.
Yeah, let’s just put this in a peanut shell and be done with it. The Communist style deceitful Democrats have a collective mental dystopian disorder of lying to the people that elect them. There is no faith, it’s all unionized wink and nod like mafia.
They knew they were electing a lifetime plagiarizer and sociopathic liar to be America’s figurehead that has used the “catch me if you can” theory of plausible deniability that sex and drug addicted son Hunter made famous.
They love the idea of the “clever boy” that lies his way out of responsibility for their lack of principle and accountability, America can go to hell.
Until the 1960’s Boomer “chosen” whiz kids, Clinton’s, Obiden, and the 2008 Democrat Trojan horse of universal Medicaid for middle class serf’s, 1970’s Democrat Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer was the worst, but at least Carter didn’t get off by making fools of others like Obiden to feel relevant, he was just a fool himself.
