competency to stand trial evaluations for the courts. Clearly, Biden is not competent to stand trial. But you voted for him and think he is competent to be POTUS? Huh?
In short, the report makes it clear that Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” and that such actions “present serious risks to national security.” But it also assessed Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory” and that it would be difficult to convince a jury he is guilty of a serious felony because to commit such a crime “requires a mental state of willfulness.” Further, the report recounts how he couldn’t remember when he was vice president and didn’t even remember when his son Beau died.
Yup. The report says Joe is so impaired the he is legally not competent to stand trial. He is not able to have the requisite mens rea to be legally convicted. In other words, he is guilty as Hell, but it is not fair to try such an incompetent, brain-addled person–he can’t understand the charges against him and/or is not capable of aiding in his own defense. Wow!
The Special Counsel’s finding that President Biden ‘willfully retained and disclosed classified materials’ and engaged in practices that ‘present serious risks to national security’ is deeply disturbing.
… Among the most disturbing parts of this report is the Special Counsel’s justification for not recommending charges: namely that the President’s memory had such ‘significant limitations’ that he could not convince a jury that the President held a ‘mental state of willfulness’ that a serious felony requires…
Is this what a victory for Joe Biden looks like? Jeez, no wonder he won’t do the Super Bowl interview!
Actually, I think that this is about the worst possible outcome for Biden. If he had been indicted, he could have rallied his troops to defend him. But in this case it was recommended not to file charges–not because Biden is innocent (and Hur found that Biden is totally guilty) but because he is mentally incompetent to stand trial.
THAT is the worst of all possible outcomes. And even worse, I think this does indeed put us in 25th Amendment territory…
PS: Sorry for the profanity, but the rhyme was just fantastic!
