As to Hur's Report, the bottom line is that Biden mishandled classified material. Biden fully cooperated and it was determined that Biden never acted with any criminal intent.

But, Biden's mishandling of the classified material placed him in a position that demanded the appointment of Special Counsel. Consistent with long standing precedent, Garland appointed a prosecutor from the opposite political party. Hur laid out in detail the reasons why he did not find a basis to warrant criminal charges, juxtaposing the righteous basis for why Trump was criminally charged on much different set of facts.

Again, to Garland's credit, he didn't generate a spinned "summary" for the public --unlike Barr following Mueller Report. Hun's report was shared with the American public.

Although it is arguably not within Hun's charge to share his observations about Biden's memory or grasp or age, .... Biden can only point to himself for mishandling the material in the first place.

Biden's age has been an issue since he took office. Biden's record and accomplishments are impressive by any standard. Biden does not have dementia. Thank God he is our President. But, Biden's command and experience have not translated well among the electorate. The polling has been consistent. It is Biden's age, and the optics surrounding his age, that has clearly become Biden's #1 obstacle in getting re-elected.

Biden needed to put the nation's best interests ahead of his ego, and announced this summer that he would not seek a second term. It may be too late at this juncture.
