Not because it tells us anything we didn’t already know about Biden’s mental incapacity. We’ve known for years that Biden has serious cognitive difficulties. We’ve also seen them increase recently.

Nor is it shocking because Biden won’t be prosecuted. We’ve assumed that from the very start.

It’s shocking because we expected an exoneration, and this is not an exoneration. It exposes Biden’s slipshod treatment of the records, various coverups, and above all his serious cognitive challenges. Many people thought that Biden wouldn’t be running in 2024 – although I have long thought he will, for the simple reason that a substitute is hard to find. But I doubt most people thought that Hur’s report would provide a reason to jettison Biden while simultaneously announcing a decision not to prosecute. Kind of a twofer.
