Re “In Biden’s Exoneration, Political Hazard Emerges,” by Michael D. Shear (information evaluation, entrance web page, Feb. 9):
At first I believed, indignantly, who does the particular counsel, Robert Hur, suppose he’s to explain President Biden as a “well-meaning, aged man with a poor reminiscence”? The nerve!
However, on second thought, maybe he’s brave and patriotic in distinction to members of Mr. Biden’s administration who, in an effort to guard the president, are placing our nation in danger by their silence and complicity.
This nation can not survive 4 extra years of Donald Trump. The American individuals, together with these of us who’ve supported President Biden and recognize all that his administration has finished, want some reassurance that he’s match to serve 4 extra years if re-elected.
A neurological examination made public would go a great distance towards doing that … or not.

Relating to the particular counsel’s report on President Biden’s mishandling of categorised paperwork, might somebody please clarify what qualifies Robert Hur to diagnose reminiscence issues?
If the particular counsel thought that the president’s reminiscence was germane to creating a authorized willpower relating to the dealing with of the paperwork, absolutely he might have subpoenaed and questioned a neurologist or a physician with specialised coaching in diagnosing and treating reminiscence issues.
To make use of a authorized time period and analogy that Mr. Hur will perceive, he didn’t have standing to incorporate a medical opinion in his authorized report. The diploma he holds is juris physician, not medical physician.

Stress can have profound organic results on reminiscence consolidation and retrieval in any respect ages. That’s regular. It’s widespread. President Biden has had phenomenal stress and tragedies in his life and at the moment occupies, arguably, essentially the most anxious job within the land.
Regardless of all of that, his phenomenal knowledge, superior job expertise and efficiency, and a profound dedication to guard our democracy now in danger are precisely what this nation wants.

The particular counsel’s report about categorised paperwork in President Biden’s possession has some echoes of James Comey’s exoneration of Hillary Clinton simply earlier than the 2016 election, calling her “extraordinarily careless.”
This report appears much more egregious to me. I’d go as far as to say that it seems to be a political hit job.
