And what happens next if the answer to both those questions is 'yes'?On today's episode we look at the report by special counsel Robert K. Hur who calls the president a 'well-meaning elderly man' and the kind words of encouragment Trump has for Vladimir Putin. Will any of the court cases land a decisive blow either way?

Hello friends,Welcome back to our Saturday Coffee Klatch, where Heather and I consider special counsel Robert K. Hur's report emphasizing Biden's age and memory loss. Was it politically motivated? Is Biden really too old to be president? We also examine the Supreme Court's oral argument on Colorado's decision to bump Trump from the ballot on the basis of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment; the decision of the three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that Trump doesn't have broad immunity from criminal indictments; and what this means for whether Trump will be tried before the election. And the GOP's bad week on the border bill and on trying to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas. And, of course, tomorrow's Super Bowl. Please grab a chair and a cup of coffee and join us.

A special counsel report on President Biden concluded that he would not be charged for mishandling sensitive documents. Yet the report painted a scathing picture of the president's memory, refueling attacks on his mental agility as he faces reelection.Read more:On Thursday evening, President Biden gave an emotional and angry response to a report issued by special counsel Robert K. Hur. While the report found that criminal charges were not merited for Biden's handling of classified documents, it detailed moments when Biden appeared hazy on specific critical dates and years during his interviews with Hur, a Republican appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland as special counsel.One line from Hur's report suggested that Biden did not recall the year in which his son Beau had passed away. Beau Biden died of cancer in 2015, when his father was vice president. The president said he remembers his son's death every day. Biden also highlighted a separate investigation into former president Donald Trump's own handling of classified documents, and the differences between them. The president, who is 81, has been fighting off voters' concerns about his age as he prepares to seek reelection – likely against Trump.Today's show was produced and mixed by Ted Muldoon with help from Arjun Singh.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Trump v. Anderson—a case which will determine whether Colorado has the authority to deem Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump constitutionally ineligible to appear on the state's presidential ballot. In one notable exchange, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson questioned Jason Murray, the attorney representing a group of Colorado voters attempting to remove Trump from the ballot. Referencing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, Justice Jackson stated of the amendment's authors: “They were listing people who were barred [from office under the 14th Amendment] and president is not there.” According to most analysis, based upon questioning, it appears as though liberal justices Jackson and Elena Kagan will side with conservative justices for a lopsided decision rejecting claims that Trump is disqualified from holding elected office under the U.S. Constitution. 3:20pm- The Department of Justice's Special Counsel will not seek criminal charges against President Joe Biden for mishandling classified documents. Glenn Thrush of The New York Times writes: “The special counsel investigating President Biden said in a report released on Thursday that he had decided not to seek prosecution of Mr. Biden over his handling of classified material after leaving the vice presidency in early 2017, but had found evidence that Mr. Biden willfully retained and disclosed some sensitive material. The report said that Mr. Biden had left the White House after his vice presidency with classified documents about Afghanistan and notebooks with handwritten entries ‘implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods' taken from internal White House briefings. Robert K. Hur, the special counsel, said in his report that Mr. Biden had shared the notebooks with a ghostwriter who helped him on his 2017 memoir, ‘Promise Me, Dad.'” You can read more here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/08/us/biden-documents-special-counsel.html 3:40pm- During oral argument in Trump v. Anderson, Justice Brett Kavanaugh was skeptical of attorney Jason Murray's claim that individual states have the constitutional authority to deem a presidential candidate ineligible to hold elected office after citing an involvement in an insurrection against the U.S. government. Kavanaugh adroitly noted President Trump has not been charged with, or been found guilty, of insurrection.

Hur's recommendation that the Department of Justice not charge President Joe Biden for mishandling classified documents. Is there a legal double standard considering former President Donald Trump faces 20+ years in prison for similar offenses? 5:05pm- Philip Klein from National Review writes: “President Biden couldn't even remember when he was vice president or when his son Beau had died, leading special counsel Robert Hur to conclude that he could not bring charges for mishandling of classified documents, because a jury would see the president ‘as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.' In a report, Robert Hur concluded that Biden ‘willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.' But he declined to issue any charges, in part because Biden's poor recollection would make him hard to convict.” At one point in the report, Hur explains: “In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 – when did I stop being Vice President?'), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?'). He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died. And his memory appeared hazy when describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important to him.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/special-counsel-account-of-bidens-mental-decline-is-frightening/ 5:30pm- Listeners react to Special Counsel Robert K.

El Departamento de Justicia estadounidense nombró este 12 de enero a un fiscal especial para investigar acerca de los documentos clasificados encontrados en una residencia y en una oficina de Joe Biden. El presidente de Estados Unidos se encuentra ahora involucrado en un caso curiosamente semejante al de su predecesor Donald Trump. ¿Enfrentan ambos el mismo destino judicial? Documentos clasificados provenientes de la Casa Blanca fueron encontrados en la residencia y en una oficina del mandatario estadounidense Joe Biden. La historia se repite a pocos meses de diferencia, puesto que algo parecido ya ocurrió con su predecesor Donald Trump. Diferencias entre Trump y Biden “Hay diferencias importantes en los dos casos, en cómo salieron a la luz los documentos, su volumen y, lo más importante, cómo respondieron por un lado Trump y por otro lado, Biden. En el caso de Trump, él y sus ayudantes resistieron los repetidos esfuerzos del gobierno para recuperar los documentos que fueron señalados por los archivos nacionales. En el caso de Biden, fueron sus abogados que encontraron los documentos y que informaron a los archivos nacionales”, detalla para RFI Reed Brody, ex fiscal adjunto del estado de Nueva York. Según él, “esas diferencias pueden tener implicaciones legales importantes, porque la Ley de Espionaje, por ejemplo, tipifica como delito que alguien sin autorización deliberadamente retenga un secreto de seguridad nacional o que no lo entregue a pedido”. Robert K. Hur, consejero especial El fiscal general de Estados Unidos Merrick Garland, citando “circunstancias extraordinarias”, nombró a un consejero especial para investigar el manejo de estos documentos clasificados. Garland nombró a Robert K. Hur, ex fiscal federal en Maryland que se desempeñó como alto funcionario del Departamento de Justicia durante la administración Trump: “Firmé una orden designando a Robert Hur como consejero especial para el tema que acabo de mencionar. El documento lo autoriza para investigar si ‘alguna persona o entidad violó la ley en relación con este asunto'”, declaró. “Para el interés público, era importante dar un paso más y nombrar a un fiscal que tiene más autonomía cotidiana que los fiscales del Departamento de Justicia, que pueden ser destituidos solamente por mala conducta, pero no son totalmente independientes. Conociendo al fiscal general Merrick Garland, él es muy by the book con las reglas. Nombró a un republicano, y yo creo que harán todo para que no aparezca ningún signo de política partidaria”, comenta Reed Brody. En última instancia, explica el ex fiscal adjunto, el ministro de la Justicia es quien validará alguna imputación. Si decide oponerse, corre el riesgo de una guerra política. Karine Jean-Pierre, la jefa de prensa de Joe Biden, dijo que la Casa Blanca seguirá cooperando con el Departamento de Justicia y con el consejero especial para demostrar que estos documentos fueron puestos en estos lugares de forma inadvertida. Estos descubrimientos se conocen semanas después de que Merrick Garland, el fiscal general de Estados Unidos nombrara a Jack Smith consejero especial para llevar a cabo una investigación sobre el mal manejo de cientos de documentos clasificados que fueron llevados a Mar-a-Lago después de que Trump terminó su presidencia.
