Fact or Fiction?: Thinking Outside the Box

U.S. Department of Justice Prosecutor Hur: Biden will appear to a jury as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

Biden: My memory is fine.

Biden’s White House staff: You are behind in the polls.

Biden’s Counsel: If Trump is elected, the next Attorney General may prosecute you for absconding with government documents.

Biden in Public: I have decided not to run again.

Biden among his lawyers and counsellors: My memory is poor—meaning: the Government cannot prosecute me—I have no memory, so I cannot meaningfully participate in my own criminal defense.

The Press: In giving up a second term in office, Biden’s motives are entirely laudatory, publicly spirited, altruistic, and patriotic. Nothing like self-interest involved here. 

Chief Wiggum: Nothing to see, move along.
