Have you read any of it...........or better phrased have you managed to excruciatingly make your way through Biden's disjointed, rambling, unconnected wandering responses to simple questions. The kind of ramblings those suffering dementia will engage in... Here the response to a simple question poised by Hur when asking about where classified materials were stored at his various residencies. Then we see a frustrated Hur as often in the transcript has to interrupt tries to get him to focus back on the question asked... MR. HUR: And where would those [places where classified materials] have been -- within the Naval Observatory? You mentioned a couple of work spaces earlier. PRESIDENT EIDEN: Well, if you' re talking about anything that was a substantive matter, classified or otherwise -- you know, the fight in the Judiciary Committee over whether or not I was the guy who wrote the Violence Against Women Act. It was -- really meant a lot to me. And so they might find stuff on the Violence Against Women Act in one section of a drawer or in the shelves of the library or of the Naval Observatory. Or issues, you know, relating to -- I know it' s gonna sound strange to you guys, but agriculture is a $4 billion industry, agriculture is a $4 billion industry in Delaware and the Delmarva peninsula, and so -- or, you know, I ' d have a lot of political things that -- I, I don' t know where they were, but I know I had material that -- where I, you know -- like, there' s a whole, whole bunch of stuff around about how -- what made me run for President in the first place, and about how things were -- you know, I mean, for example, I , I was a -- I got a job with a -- I didn't take law school very seriousl y, but I won the International Tort Competition. I was in -- matter of fact, the first time in tort class, we had a really difficult professor. I mean, very well- known, Professor at Syracuse, and -- PRESIDENT BIDEN: -- he called on me to -- you know how they do in law school, discuss a case, you know, in your first torts class. And I had never read the case, and I s t ood up and I spoke for 10 minutes. The whole class stood up, started clapping. (Laughter) PRESIDENT BIDEN: And he said, Mr. Biden, you'll be a hell of a trial lawyer. He said, not a single thing you -- had to do with that. (Laughter) PRESIDENT BIDEN: And -- but at any rate, so -- but in law school, I got in law school, and I got, believe it or not, a job offer from some prestigious law firms. I was not sure where I wanted to go, out west and where -- I wanted to move to Idaho, I thought, and so I was going to go out and interview with Boise Cascade. That's all I'd reall y -- and -- but I took a job with the best-known trial firm in Delaware in mostly civil defense issues. And, and so -- and I remember a guy named (phonetic), a brilliant guy that went to Amherst and Harvard and said -- when he was interviewing me said, in those days, you had to -- today you would be killed. You had to put your photograph in the upper right-hand corner when you' re applying for a job. And he looked at me and said, I assume you're expecting to be - PRESIDENT BIDEN: -- hired on your looks. (Laughter) months. PRESIDENT BIDEN: And I said -- and I thought the job was over, and I said, I said, wel l, it would improve the look of your firm. (Laughter) PRESIDENT BIDEN: I mean, I was just -- So anyway, to make a long story short, they ended up offering me a job. And in Delaware, it has -- used to have the lowest pass rate in the country because we 're not big on encouraging lawyers to come and play in Delaware. It' s a very tight bar. And, and so what happened was you take the bar, you graduate, and you have to clerk for somebody for six {Indiscernible 0:11:51. 6) . And they don't give the bar exam until the middle of September. You don' t get your results to your -- for the bar exam until January. And, and so -- I -- but I got hired in the meantime by this firm appropr iately named Prickett, Ward, Burt Sanders. And, and tomake a long story not quite so long, I was sitting second chair with the, with the, with the guy who ran the firm, Prickett, Mr. Prickett, and there was a young man who we were representing, --(phonetic) getting 24 25 and (indiscernible 0:12:34.3) construction company, you know, I had to turn those -- we have more oil refineries than any - PRESIDENT BIDEN: -- place other than in Houston in Delaware and Pennsylvania, (indiscernible 0:12:43. 6) up in that area. And this poor kid is down a hundred-foot vessel, chimney, scraping the hydrogen bubbles off of the inside. They were made to shut the plant down once every -whatever, about eight months or six months or a year, whatever it is. And he was wearing the wrong pants, wrong jeans, and he -- a spark caught fire and got caught in the containment vessel and he lost part of his penis and one of his testicles and he was 23 years old. And I sat through the -- his presentation with the, with the senior, and we had in Delaware, which is - the Dupont family had no influence of course - contributory negligence. If you were slightly contributory negligence, you were out. And so the senior partner turned to me and said, write a memo for tomorrow, we ' re going to make a motion to dismiss after presenting this case. So I did. I wrote this memo. And son of a bitch, it prevailed. And I looked over at that kid and his wife home with two little kids, and I thought son of a bitch, I 'm in the wrong business, I'm not made for this. And I -- there was a famous club called the - PRESIDENT BIDEN: -- Wilmington Club -- no blacks, Catholics are allowed -- have been allowed to be members. The DuPont family name. And we went to a place call ed the Wilmington Club, and he thought he was doing he said, take the lunch at Wilmington. I said -- the only time I ever lied that I can remember looking somebody in the eye, and I mean sincerely, I said, oh, my dad' s coming in today, I was going to see -- okay. He didn' t give a damn where I went. I walked across and walked through to the second -- the basement on a public building and walked in with a guy named Frank and I said I want a job as a public defender. He said, don' t you work for Prickett. He said, he said, are you okay, like what the hell ' s t he mat ter with you. I quit and became a public defender. The process of that was that' s what got me -- I had been involved in the civil rights movement. That got me deeply involved in trying to reform the Democratic Party, which was a southern Democratic Party. We were a sl ave state by law. We were one of the border states so we couldn' t figure -- anyway, but the Democratic Party was a conservative party in Delaware. The DuPont family ran the Republican Party, but they were like Rockefeller Republicans at the time. And so I got involved with a group of people trying to reform the Democratic Party. PRESIDENT BIDEN: And the whole point of telling you all this is I had a lot of material that I kept notes on and, and when that where as I was taking on the Democratic Party. And they came to me and asked me to this group, this new Democratic coalition -- I had, in the meantime, it' s two years down the road, I was 26 years old, 27. And I went to work part time for a criminal defense firm mainly, a real estate -- there were five people. And so I was no longer a public defender because I couldn't be a public defender and work for that firm. And one thing led to another and I joined this group to try to reform the party. And they came to me about and I was making the case we ' ve just got to get more candidates to run, to we're not, we're not represented. And the southern part of the state of Delaware will talk at you like this, for real, you go down -- you think I'm joking, I 'm not joking. "Damn, boy, I don' t agree with a damn thing you say, " but he said, "I know where you stand, know where you stand." That's how they talk. And it was solidly democrat, southern democrat. We were the only state in the nation occupied by the military for 10 months with drawn bayonets at every corner when Dr. King was assassinated, and that's real ly what got me going. Long story, and I'll end, because it relates PRESIDENT BIDEN: -- to maybe some of the other things you may ask about, is that I had a lot of material that I did recent. When you're the youngest guy in the room, you get to turn the lights on and off. And so I, I amassed a lot of material making the case why the party had to change and, and they -- and it ended up that about 10 months in, the group from the area where I lived came to me and said they wanted me to run for the state senate. I said, no, no, no, I can' t do t hat. I just I ' m thinking of starting my own law firm and it's going to -- no, I can't do that. And because they meet in Dover and dah, dah, dah. And then next thing that happened was I came back about three weeks later. They said we want -- to the office I I was in at the time. I had now started my own office. And didn't realize no one my age ever started his own law firm. I hired two lawyers. I had no freaking money. But I hired them and paid them more than I was going to make, and I started this firm. And there I remember standing looking out over the public and they said how about running for the county council. I said, no, no, I can't go down. He said, they meet right across the street there only twice a week at night. You can do this. So to make a long story short, I ended up doing it. But I wanted ~o be sure that I was going to lose -- PRESIDENT BIDEN: -- because -- so I ran in a 62 district that no one' s ever won, a Democrat had never won. And I won it. And next thing you know, I'm in a tough position. My generic point was there was a lot of material that I had amassed that I wanted to save. I probably still have it somewhere. And so that stuff would travel wherever the hell I was - MR. HUR: So, sir, that material that you just that you remember having, again, trying to steer us back to the end of your vice presidency and focusing on your move out of the Naval Observatory. The thing filled with such moments such as when Hur ask about his time living in Virginia at the beach home PRESIDENT EIDEN: Well, um .. . I , I, I, I, I don' t know. This is, what, 2017, 2018, that area? MR. HUR: Yes, sir. PRESIDENT BIDEN: Remember, in this timeframe, my son is was either been deployed or is dying, and, and so it and by the way, there were still a lot of people at the time when I got out of the Senate that were encouraging I me to run in this period, except the President. I 'm not -and not a mean thing to say. He just thought that she had a better shot of winning the presidency than I did. And so I hadn' t, I hadn' t, at this point -- even though I 'm at Penn, hadn't walked away from the idea that I may run for office again. But if I ran again, I 'd be running for President. And, and so what was happening, though - what month did Beau die? Oh, God, May 30th - MS. COTTON: 2015. UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: 2015. PRESIDENT BIDEN: Was it 2015 he had died? UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: It was May of 2015. PRESIDENT BIDEN: It was 2015. MR. BAUER: Or I 'm not sure the month, sir, but I think that was the year. MR. KRICKBAUM: That' s right, Mr. President. It -- PRESIDENT BIDEN: And what's happened in the meantime is that as -- and Trump gets elected in November of 2017? UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: 2016. UNIDENTIFIED MALE SPEAKER: '16. PRESIDENT BIDEN: '16, 2016. All right. So -why do I have 2017 here? R. SISKEL: That' s when you left office, January of 2017. PRESIDENT BIDEN: Yeah, okay. But that's when Trump gets sworn in then, January MR. SISKEL: Right. MR. BAUER: Right, correct. PRESIDENT BIDEN: Okay, yeah. And in 2017, Beau had passed and -- this is personal -- the genesis of the book and the title Promise Me, Dad, was a -- I know you' re all -- Again these are just two examples and I can't imagine how badly the actual video or audio would appear and no wonder the WH is trying to keep them from being released. Can't imagine having to sit through two days of this. The man should be in an assisted living home and NOT in charge of the country.
Joe Biden has always told rambling stories. That Har brought up his age shows this was a political hit piece though — he didn’t get the information to pin anything on him so instead of trying to do that he just made personal remarks — but he is a Republican so that’s to be expected that he cannot do just his job without pushing an agenda. I will agree that Biden is old — but that’s apparent. This multi hour questioning also didn’t occur to his opponent or Pence who also had classified documents. At least he does use real words — I look forward to trumps version so we can get some gems like this:
