5 reactions to DOJ not charging Biden for mishandling classified documents
1. Jonathan Turley
Jonathan Turley, a George Washington University law professor, touched upon some of the suggestions about Biden’s mental health included in the report in a series of posts on X Thursday. “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,’” he noted in one post.
“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,” Turley said.
Commenting on how “President Biden just took a victory lap in not being charged despite a finding that he ‘willfully retained’ classified material and showed substantial decline in his mental faculties,” Turley added: “The President is effectively pumping his chest and bragging ‘I’m sympathetically diminished.’”

He also stressed that “the report is full of references to willful retention including headings such as ‘THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT MR. BIDEN WILLFULLY RETAINED THE CLASSIFIED AFGHANISTAN DOCUMENTS.’”
