President Joe Biden’s personal attorney said Sunday he went to both the special counsel and the attorney general to register concerns over what he viewed to be pejorative and unnecessary digs at the president’s memory.

“This is a report that went off the rails,” Bob Bauer said on CBS’ Face the Nation Sunday. “It’s a shabby work product.”

The special counsel was investigating whether the president mishandled classified documents during his previous positions as vice president and senator, and found this week that no criminal charges were warranted.

But in building his argument for why no charges were necessary, Special Counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, detailed in part that Biden’s defense of any potential charges could possibly be that: “Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

    Trump “knows he’s an illegitimate president,” Clinton said. “I believe he understands that the many varying tactics they used, from voter suppression and voter purging to hacking to the false stories — he knows that — there were just a bunch of different reasons why the election turned out like it did … I know he knows this wasn’t on the level.”

    In an October 2020 interview with The Atlantic, Clinton said, “There was a widespread understanding that [the 2016] election was not on the level. We still don’t know what happened … but you don’t win by 3 million votes and have all this other shenanigans and stuff going on and not come away with an idea like, ‘Whoa, something’s not right here.’”

    don’t believe me, though. search for the phrases and come to your own conclusion

      Clinton SAYS that to detract from her own incompetence as a candidate. All of her problems, all of her fake stories, the buttery males, all of it is irrelevant compared to:

      1. Telling coal miners next to Pennsylvania that she wanted to put them out of work. “Buh, buh, what I actually said…” bullshit. She said their lifelong careers shouldn’t exist, and while West Virginia was NEVER going to vote Democratic, it cost her Pennsylvania instead. -20 Electoral College Votes.

      2. Taking Michigan for granted. The prime autoworker state should have been a slam dunk. Take a tour, remind everyone how the Republicans wanted to let them twist in the wind. She skipped the state and it cost her. -16 Electoral College Votes.

      3. Same thing in Wisconsin, except Wisconsin showed it could and would vote Republican in repeated state-wide elections. She skipped it, they skipped her. -10 electoral college votes.

      Had she not been an idiot, and swung just these three states… +46 EC votes… 273-258 - Clinton wins.
