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.

    He doesnā€™t think Biden is senile, he even said Biden has a near photographic memory dealing with the House. Hur misrepresented the truth then pretends the ā€œI donā€™t recallā€ defense is not the most common defense used in interviews with feds.

    An accurate headline would have been: Member of ratfucker party tried to ratfuck Biden.
