‘Leaves little doubt he lied’

Special Counsel Hur’s report is back in the news, as former President Joe Biden’s written answers are making the rounds on X.

User “Techno Fog” posted screengrabs of the answers reportedly from Biden, saying they leave “little doubt he lied.” It’s not clear if there is any way to hold him legally accountable for any lies, however.

Look:

“During my time as Vice President, I often took notes in notebooks. These notes included my thoughts and observations on personal matters, as well as on meetings and policy discussions. Like presidents and vice presidents before me, I understand these notes to be my personal property,” Biden reportedly wrote.

“I do not recall the specific conversations you reference with Mr. Zwonitzer, which took place more than six years ago,” the answer continued. “As a general matter, I used my notebooks as a reference tool for some of my conversations with Mr. Zwonitzer. These conversations served as background for Promise Me, Dad, the book that I wrote about the final year of my son Beau’s life. To the best of my knowledge, I did not loan or give my notebooks to Mr. Zwonitzer or anyone else. I may have used the word ‘classified’ with Mr. Zwonitzer in a generic sense, to refer not to the formal classification of national security information, but to sensitive or private topics to ensure that Mr. Zwonitzer would not write about them. If I had seen any marked classified documents in my home or office between the time when I was serving as Vice President and President, I would have immediately returned them to the U.S. government.”

“I made no effort to hide my note-taking or my notebooks from my staff. My use of these notebooks was open and public, and aides were present in meetings during which I would write in them,” Biden added. “As Vice President, I may have tucked materials that I received during the day into my notebooks. I never intended to retain any marked classified documents in my notebooks in connection with my meetings with Mr. Zwonitzer or at any other time. I was unaware that marked classified documents had remained in the notebooks. To the extent that they were, it was inadvertent and unintentional.”

“I have no grounds to assess the accuracy or authenticity of Mr. Zwonitzer’s audio recordings, which I do not possess. I have no knowledge about whether Mr. Zwonitzer deleted any audio recordings.”

Other statements of questionable accuracy included:

“I did not know that potentially classifed documents related to my foreign travel as a Senator were in boxed in my Wilmington garage.”

“I do not recall ever sharing any marked classified documents with Mr. Zwonitzer, and I never would have done so intentionally.”

I did not see any issue with keeping these notecards or any of my notebooks at my home, because I understand them to be my property.”

X users had a lot to say:
