Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents is so damning that even a CNN panel can’t ignore the facts; “This is a five-alarm fire for the White House.”
“I don’t think he did himself any favors in that speech,” Alyssa Farah Griffin told CNN host Anderson Cooper. “He undercut two of his biggest messages: The adults are back in charge, by sort of being dismissive. Yes, he was exonerated. He won’t be convicted or tried for this. But there were some really damning things. He had deliberation of Afghan war plans with him, he spoke to a biographer about classified documents who didn’t have clearance. This showed a decent level of recklessness of handling classified information.”
“They were using this bizarre line to say he stepped away from an international crisis, the biggest attack on our ally Israel since the Holocaust, to go deal with a self-inflicted investigation by the Department of Justice,” Griffin said. “How is that supposed to inspire confidence? I don’t know why he went back out. He already said most of this in Virginia. This is becoming a five-alarm fire for the White House.”
Analyst Jeffrey Toobin reacted to Biden confusing Egypt and Mexico during his remarks.
“Mexico? Where did that come from?” Toobin asked. “I mean, that’s the only thing anyone will remember from this.”
