He was trying to stay above the fray. Brendan, i have not read as mike has, the full transcript. I read the New York Times analysis of it. Again, something for everybody. Times when joe biden, they point out, couldnt remember specific dates. Didnt have specific memory of how some of these documents were handled but they also said to mikes point about sense of humor, mr. Biden went into great detail about many manners, the transcript shows. He made jokes over the two days, teasing the prosecutors and at certain points, he corrected his interrogators when they were the ones who misspoke. Is it clear to you on either side, brendan, that one side or the other walks away with something politically advantageous . Well i think to answer that question, you have to think about where we started from. When this report came out, it was an absolute bombshell, really underscoring the president s difficulty politically with his age. It was a gift to republicans. Now, when you get to a congressional h
Rib. Well, its your reports. I think it actually is more fitting that you read those most notably after being given multiple chances to return classified documents and avoid prosecution, mr. Trump allegedly did the opposite you going according to the indictment, he not only refused to return the documents for many months, but he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and then to lie about it.

Trump himself ordered that boxes containing classified materials go to maralago where he hosted Tens Of Thousands of guests. Then he kept these sensitive materials carelessly about the property as you can see here, classified documents ended up in a bathroom, a ballroom on a floor spoon about and when a grand jury s
Its all political, and i think that in the end that that ends up hurting joe biden and helping donald trump. John jonathan turley, to the point that a lot of democrats are making here, this was a clearly partisan report, that hur was only out to get biden, trying to shred his credibility. He said in his Opening Statement that he had to, because of doj guidelines, present this report to the Attorney General on his decision not to charge. He said i knew from my decision to be credible, i could not simply announce i recommended no criminal charges and leave it at that, i needed to explain why, show my work as he said. Put that into context for us legally. Did he have to go into this level of detail . Because its the part of this that is real ticked off the white house and set democrats aflame is his idea that joe biden is a kindly old gentleman with a bad memory, and that of course brings up the entire conversation about whether or not he can continue to be president now let alone for ano
