Joe Biden’s former doctor refused to answer a single question Wednesday about the ex-president’s health and cognitive decline — stunningly invoking his right against self-incrimination before slinking out of a congressional deposition.
According to Comer, O’Connor, Biden’s longtime personal physician, was asked two key questions:
  • “Were you ever told to lie about the president’s health?”
  • “Did you ever believe President Biden was unfit to execute his duties?”
In both instances, O’Connor took the Fifth.

Trump invokes Fifth Amendment nearly 450 times in N.Y. AG’s civil probe of his business practices
An attorney for Trump said the former president answered only one question, about his name, during the four-hour deposition.

...

"I once asked, 'If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?'" Trump said in a statement. "Now I know the answer to that question. When your family, your company, and all the people in your orbit have become the targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors, and the Fake News Media, you have no choice. Accordingly, under the advice of my counsel and for all of the above reasons, I declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution."

You realize he took the Fifth simply because he saw where it was going and he doesn't get to pick and choose, right?

This same stunt was used by O.J. Simpson's lawyers: "Detective Fuhrman, have you ever planted evidence in a case?" There are clowns posing as American citizens who actually try to argue "that proves he planted evidence" while never mentioning he pled the Fifth to EVERYTHING once he opted to invoke it.

And something tells me some of these questions are being asked by Republican lawyers who know this.

Using this same line of reasoning, Trump IS without question on the Epstein List.

much of the brosphere sure thinks he’s the poster-child for christian american masculinity
The greatest con job Trump ever pulled was breaking the law on his own behalf and convincing his room temperature IQ followers the real reason he did it was for them.

It's like Herman Talmadge going full four corners with, "They say I stole! Well, I DID! I stole for the GOOD PEOPLE OF JAWJA!" (That's when the audience plant shouts, "Tell 'em 'bout them lyin' Atlanta newspapers, Huh-man!"

Biden Says He Made the Clemency Decisions That Were Recorded With Autopen
Donald J. Trump and his allies have begun investigations to support their claims that Joseph R. Biden Jr. was incapacitated and his staff conspired to take presidential actions in his name.

Former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. is escalating his battle against Republican claims that he might not have been in control of high-profile clemency decisions issued under his name at the end of his term and, more generally, that his cognitive state impaired his functioning in office.

In an interview with The New York Times, Mr. Biden said that he had orally granted all the pardons and commutations issued at the end of his term, calling President Trump and other Republicans “liars” for claiming his aides had used an autopen to do so without his authorization.

“I made every decision,” Mr. Biden said in a phone interview on Thursday, asserting that he had his staff use an autopen replicating his signature on the clemency warrants because “we’re talking about a whole lot of people.”

the fact that this is something that is even being reported on in is the height of idiocy

This is where he needs a clever Gen X spokesperson:

"I know Don (use this term to tick him off) is old and having troubles with his memory, but let's remind him of what he himself has said time and again:

- President can declassify documents just by thinking about it. Obviously, they can also do this with pardons.
- even if he didn't follow procedures, it's right simply because the President did it.
- it's also legal, and Biden has full immunity, Trump himself said so.

and then make a reference to the Epstein files, quoting him about sex with his daughter and the fact he's an adjudicated rapist, and be done.

(Seriously, Democrats - I shouldn't have to think of things THIS OBVIOUS for you).

Does it need to be restated that Joe Biden is no longer President, and the current President's mental health is never discussed?

Maybe they shot him full of meth and clarity meds, but I watched his appearance on the ABC daily show that I will not name because I hate it like a passion(rhymes with "The View"). He sounded logical and from what I could tell, was very alert.

Uh, Trump has been being called a narcissist by mental health professionals since before he even won, so I'm not sure how we can say his mental health is never discussed.


If only the US had a group of people who were objective, who called balls and strikes, and who didn't favor one team over the other with their calls and they had a constitutional right to tell us that....I

Yeah, but this was after he himself had repeatedly enforced the fact he was a dottering old man and the press was insisting we couldn't believe what were watching.

Remember lest anyone forget: a NASCAR crowd was chanting CLEARLY "(you know) Joe Biden" and the reporter ON THE SPOT, almost as if she had been informed "this is your spin" said they were chanting "Let's Go, Brandon" despite the fact we ALL could hear what was being said. And that's what gave rise to the less profane cheer about Biden.

The press DOES NOT get to pretend that they were not co-conspirators, folks. It's just too bad for all of us they did it long enough that any bad thing they say about Trump can be dismissed out of hand as shameless bias. YES, he would say that anyway - the problem, though, is that Biden's issues make it crystal clear they were putting their thumb on the scale.

I can forgive the press being a little too lenient when the country was faced with an existential threat from a crime family masquerading as politicians. We all knew what the stakes were when we finally rid the nation of the graft in 2020. Only to have it all come back.

Don't tell me that distortions were all one-sided. Trump has been given a free pass in the MAGAverse media sound machine.

She's just a left-wing MTG, who didn't even listen in class at Boston University.

Get someone with some actual credibility beyond "I lived in Queens!"

You're literally admitting right here that it's okay to spin the news if you think you have a good reason as well as the fact that the mainstream media is no different AT ALL than Fox News.

But you also don't get to pretend that this started with Donald Trump, either.

After all - Donald Trump was way off the radar when CBS tried to manufacture some National Guard documents to sway the outcome of a Presidential race....but I'm sure someone here will tell us that was justified, too.

both sides

I well recall the last time the Democrats had a guy in the Oval Office who tried to gut the Courts, cried about stolen elections, vilified war heros, was convicted felon/rapist, rounded up thousands of people (many innocent) with quasi-law enforcement wearing masks- who was (in short) an existential threat to American democracy. A crime family, not responsible to anyone but themselves.

That damn media that picked on him.

Both can be wrong. You don't have to throw Trump crap back as a response to Biden crap.
