You know the story. Special Counsel Robert Hur released his report on President Joe Biden's willful retention of classified documents in his Delaware home, including his garage. This should have been a great moment for Democrats: Hur did not recommend criminal charges in the case. So Biden was exonerated, right? Well, no. He had lots of classified documents and notebooks in his house and reportedly read from them to his ghostwriter. Hur recommended that charges not be filed because a jury would likely find Biden to be a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.
The media has done its spinning — MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said he had no idea what year his mother died. So why should Biden be expected to remember when his son Beau died (in Iraq, you know)?
The Biden/Harris campaign is leaning into the report in a fundraising email from Dr. Jill Biden. "Joe cooperated fully with a Special Counsel's investigation and they found he did nothing wrong," she lies.
She also didn't know what the special counsel was trying to achieve. "I hope you can imagine how it felt to read that attack — not just as Joe's wife, but as Beau's mother."
NEW: A Biden fundraising email sent this morning attempts to cash in on the special counsel report, specifically its reference to Beau Biden. In the email, Jill Biden refers to herself as "Beau's mother."

NEW: A Biden fundraising email sent this morning attempts to cash in on the special counsel report, specifically its reference to Beau Biden. In the email, Jill Biden refers to herself as "Beau's mother."
Beau Biden's mother was Neilia Biden, Joe's first wife, who died in a car crash in 1972.
I understand that step-parents often fill the shoes of those they replace, but this is especially poor taste. Will they never stop abusing Beau's memory? And now Neilia's?
Will they never stop abusing Beau's memory? Hell no. Jill Biden's fundraising email mirrors her statement Monday, in which she claimed that "Joe is 81, that's true, but he's 81 doing more in an hour than most people do in a day."

The statement was bad enough, but to send it out as a fundraising email?
There needs to be a word for being so utterly shameless.

Oh my God, these people have no shame.

Glad someone else noticed this. The way they exploit their own families tragedies is sickening.

Some fundraising vendor wrote this without doing an ounce of research into the client.

They Googled the day Beau Biden died at least.
No, Jill. They found crimes-it’s a felony to steal classified docs and share them-but refused to charge because Joe’s a vegetable and no jury would indict a mentally challenged man in his 80’s.

This letter is fraudulent. Textbook. A deceptive way to gain money.

The investigator did find Biden did things wrong. He did commit crimes.
Correct, she is not his biological mother.
The lies and laws they break.imo
Literally everything about Biden is a lie or a front to cover up the real Joe Biden

I have never in my lifetime known of any parent that has used the death of their child as a sympathy ploy to gain any benefit from their death. Votes? Fundraising? Disgusting.

It was just a week ago that Biden called the family of one of the soldiers killed in a drone strike and told them how he lost his own son in Iraq. Perhaps Dr. Jill Biden can answer the question: Is her husband just lying to pander to voters, or was Beau's death in Iraq "forever etched on our hearts"?
"He did nothing wrong."
Wrong.
