President Biden just took a victory lap in not being criminally charged despite a finding that he "willfully retained" classified material and showed substantial decline in his mental faculties.
The DOJ is defending the lack of criminal charges against Joe Biden while noting the difficulty of going to trial against a "‘well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory." ...
....Biden is found to have "willfully retained" documents but he is still viewed as too "sympathetic" person for a potential jury. Conversely, Trump was clearly viewed as neither sympathetic nor sufficiently old to warrant such consideration.
...Biden did not even have to show up in pajamas like like Vincent "the Chin" Gigante to get the deference for his age.

BREAKING: Republicans are saying Biden is not fit for office, with some calling for something to be done after the Special Counsel's report on his mishandling of documents says his memory has 'significant limitations.’
Rep. Jim Jordan: “Joe Biden isn’t fit for office.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: “If Joe Biden is not mentally fit to stand trial, then he certainly isn’t mentally fit to be President of the United States.
It’s time to do something about it.”
Senator Josh Hawley: “Biden doesn’t remember his time as VP? But somehow he’s qualified to be President for another 4 years?”
House Judiciary Committee: “They didn’t want to bring charges against President Biden for the classified documents case because he’s too old and has a bad memory.
They’re admitting what we all see every day.”
