   “#Hur said: “What I wrote is what I believe the evidence shows, and what I expect jurors would perceive and believe. I did not sanitize my explanation. Nor did I disparage the President unfairly.” (1/2)

     While #Biden fumbled some details in his interview, the full transcript could raise questions about Hur’s depiction of the 81-year-old president as having “significant limitations” on his memory. It paints a more textured picture of his discussions with prosecutors, filling out some of the gaps left by Hur’s accounting of the exchanges.”

     2/ Via Emptywheel:

     Hur started the interview by talking about how much cooperation Biden provided. He downplayed that in his report and actually penalized Biden in some ways for that cooperation (and may do more of that today).

     Particularly funny, given that Biden CALLED LINDSEY OUT in the SOTU.

     Pretty much Hur lied about how sharp Biden was. We got the same Biden at SOTU and in this interview.

     CAN’T MAKE IT UP: In the first sentence of the first part of Hur’s Biden interview — which has become about Biden’s grasp of dates and recall — Hur gets the time of day wrong.
