Special counsel Robert Hur’s detailed report on President Joe Biden’s mishandling of classified information has sparked an irate response from several Republican lawmakers.
Overall, the special counsel’s report explained that Biden had “significant limitations” on his memory, while calling it “vague,” “poor” and “flawed.” The report also said Biden had no memory of serving as vice president under Barack Obama.
As Townhall reported, Biden held a disastrous news conference last night after the report was released.

As could be expected, after the report was published, Republican Party lawmakers howled, pointing out that Biden’s memory problems had been noticed from the beginning of his presidency.

Biden doesn’t remember his time as vice president? But somehow he is qualified to be president for another 4 years? … https://t.co/2jloBjcOZy

According to this investigation, @JoeBiden he doesn’t remember being vice president.
Does anyone believe he is now ruling the country as POTUS? https://t.co/ddnIiG35ms

Special Counsel Hur’s description of President Biden’s condition will be seen around the world as disturbing.
I have known President Biden for several decades, traveled the world with him, and consider him a friend.
Special counsel’s assessment of the president…

It’s time. The government should invoke the 25th Amendment.
We all know @JoeBiden I can’t do this job. https://t.co/CMUD5LBvvr

Others pointed to a double standard between the Biden investigation and former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified information.
“Biden, as a private citizen, reveals classified information and gets a pass. “Trump ‘mishandled’ his government’s classified information and they want him to die in prison,” wrote Ohio State Sen. J.D. Vance.
“Our criminal justice system is a joke. So shouldn’t we seek Justice Department nominations in the Senate?”

Trump “mishandled” his own government’s classified information and they want him to die in prison.
Our criminal justice system is a joke. That’s why we shouldn’t pursue Justice Department nominations in the Senate https://t.co/RwTjbx29O5

The special counsel’s report confirms that Biden “willfully withheld and disclosed classified materials” for years before he entered the White House.
Meanwhile, the FBI has raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and he faces an armed Justice Department. A clear, two-tier justice system.…

Meanwhile, the FBI in a very public way raided his private residence of President Trump – Biden’s main political opponent – and he faces criminal prosecution by the same Department of Justice that has repeatedly given special treatment to the Biden family.

Last month, first lady Jill Biden said she was not concerned about her husband’s age or health.
“I see him traveling around this country. I see his vigor. I see his energy,” she said.

Today, the special prosecutor called him an “older man with a needy memory.”pic.twitter.com/zbgZbRYLIS
