President Joe Biden’s personal lawyer on Sunday repeatedly attacked Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, but did not immediately support releasing records of the meeting between Mr. Biden and Mr. Hur.
Democratic Party outraged by Ha’s remarks Mr. Biden said: The report said he was an “elderly man with poor memory.” Specifically, the special counsel said the report included unnecessary and unnecessary details, such as that Biden forgot the timing of his son Beau’s death and that he forgot when he was vice president. Heo’s critics claim that he was
On CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Biden’s personal lawyer Bob Bauer (whose wife is senior Biden adviser Anita Dunn) called Herr’s report “factual errors” and “derogatory comments.” Bauer accused the company of “shoddy workmanship,” including: It is inconsistent with Department of Justice policy and norms. ”
This strong comment may be persuasive because Bauer was present at Biden’s meeting with Xu. But his commentary quickly began to fall apart when host Margaret Brennan began asking questions.
Mr. Brennan first asked Mr. Bauer whether there was ever a time when the president “couldn’t remember details” of his meeting with Mr. Hur. But Bauer did not directly answer the question, instead saying that Biden had “given his best recollection” of the question.
After Bauer acknowledged that a transcript of Biden’s interview did exist, Brennan asked a key question that undermined Bauer’s narrative.
“Are you in favor of releasing him?” she asked the record.
“Well, that’s actually a decision that has to be made within the government. It’s a classified document,” Bauer replied.
“If it does confirm your personal recollection, would you recommend it be made public?” Brennan followed up.
“Again, there’s a process going on right now. I’m not an expert on that process. So we really need to follow the people who need to address these issues,” Bauer deflected.
If details about Biden’s memory are unfair and unethical, as the president’s defenders claim, why not demand the records be released?
It is true that interviews contain confidential information. However, these details can be easily edited from the transcript.
Therefore, appealing to sensitive information in the transcript is an aberration. Records show Biden either cannot remember basic details about his life or not. And if the record supports what Mr. Hurr reported, his report was not a “shoddy product” as Mr. Bauer claimed, and that Mr. Hurr refused to bow to political pressure. It becomes a document that conveys the truth.
In fact, Mr. Bauer does not dispute the veracity of Mr. Herr’s report. Rather, he is angry that Mr. Hsu included details about Mr. Biden’s memories in his report. That’s an important difference.
But like former U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg explainedthe details about Biden’s memory are important to Xu’s report because the special counsel had to explain why he would not prosecute Biden even though he found ample evidence that he broke the law. Met.
“It doesn’t make sense to me that you can tell the United States attorney general why someone shouldn’t be prosecuted, but not tell him exactly why you came to that conclusion,” Rosenberg said last Friday. Ta. .
White House press secretary Ian Sams said Friday that officials would consider requesting the release of a redacted version of Biden’s minutes.
