a fan who s going to watch the game like the rest of us. thanks for joining me today. smerconish is up next. legal exoneration, political nightmare. i m michael smerconish, legal nightmare. the report of the investigation into president biden s handling of classified documents. the word exoneration, an overstatement, i think, how bad was it, the president who turned down a pre-super bowl interview with a guaranteed audience of millions in an election year sudly felt obliged to speak to the nation in prime time from a diplomatic reception room at the white house. when he did, he seemed to be in denial about the substance and the political implications. the majority of americans including a majority of democrats have major or moderate concerns about biden s fitness nor a second term. when cnn raised that with the president he said that was only her incorrect perception. when you were asked about your age, you would respond with the words, watch me. many american people have
