Yesterday evening President Biden delivered a bizarre statement and answered a few questions in an appearance that did the opposite of what the White House intended, which was to prove that Biden's mentally sharp. That came in the wake of a special counsel report that found Biden "wilfully retained" classified documents and stored them recklessly in his Wilmington garage and elsewhere.
The White House's "day after" spin appears to be something along the lines of "Joe didn't do it intentionally, he's just an idiot." Case in point:
Lots of misreporting on the allegation POTUS “willfully retained” documents

The Special Counsel report itself refutes this
(which makes sense—he decided he couldn’t make a case of willfully retaining documents)
Look at page 215

So Biden didn't do it on purpose, he's just reckless? That doesn't make it much better.
That brings us to another episode of "When You've Lost CNN..."
The Biden White House's spin isn't holding up and you know it's bad when some of the usual Dem water carriers in the media can't run cover for them:
CNN's Elie Honig on Biden's denial he shared classified documents with his ghostwriter:

We're guessing the usual "fact-checkers" will take a vacation day today when it comes to Biden's claims last night, but on CNN it was also noted that Biden's claims don't match up with the report:

Pretty much everything Biden says is contradictory to reality, so that's not very surprising.
Translation: he lied.

In other words, he lied.
