| Hi everybody, two big items to talk about. | |
| The Putin interview with Tucker Carlson, which went over two hours. | |
| And there were some fascinating aspects and some truly boring aspects. | |
| I don't know, well, I think I do. | |
| I was going to say, I don't know what he had in mind. | |
| With this half-hour answer, it's probably the longest answer to one question in American media history. | |
| By the way, I do have a feeling that the... | |
| Is he the Washington Post reporter? | |
| Who does he work for? | |
| The one that they have imprisoned in Russia. | |
| Wall Street Journal, yeah. | |
| I have a feeling that he will be released. | |
| In the not-too-distant future, based on the interview. | |
| And I was glad that Tucker Carlson brought him up. | |
| He's 32 years old. | |
| I didn't realize how young he was. | |
| The other item, and we'll get to that, the other item is the remarkable special counsel, Robert Herr, says a jury might not convict the elderly, forgetful, doddering president. | |
| I mean, if that is not an indictment in and of itself, he is too incompetent to stand trial. | |
| There is a sort of tacit admission that he's guilty of the crimes that he's being charged with, of taking government documents that he did not have a right to take. | |
| But he can't stand trial because the jury... | |
| I wonder if this has ever been rendered before. | |
| I won't accuse you of a crime because the jury will take pity on you because you're mentally incompetent. | |
| Do you think that's ever happened before? | |
| So what was on his mind to spare Biden the humiliation of being found guilty? | |
| I can't believe on face value that that is what is involved. | |
| In a famous case from the 1990s, the mobster Vincent Gigante offered what became known as the bathrobe defense. | |
| He attended his arraignment in pajamas and a bathrobe. | |
| And claims to be mentally impaired. | |
| Regarding President Biden's misuse of classified documents, the country is now asked to believe the forgetful elderly man defense. | |
| Do you realize you could never prosecute any old person under this thinking? | |
| That's likely to be the main public takeaway from Special Counsel Robert Hurst's 345-page report. | |
| Of his investigation into the secret documents Mr. Biden kept in various places. | |
| Mr. Herr reports that he uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed. | |
| Wow, disclosed. | |
| Was Donald Trump accused of disclosing? | |
| Disclosing as well? | |
| Not just taking? | |
| After his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. | |
| But he concludes that, quote, no criminal charges are warranted, unquote, in large part because he doesn't believe a jury would convict, quote, a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. | |
| The report says Mr. Biden kept documents with classified markings about Afghanistan, an issue about which he had taken a particular interest. | |
| During the Obama presidency, he also kept notebooks, quote, implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods, unquote, in his garage, offices, and basement den. |
