If that's true, then the person at the Biden re-elect who hit "Send" on a fundraising email Thursday, subject line "Do you remember how you felt?," while the president was in the middle of an impromptu press conference denying he had problems with mental acuity may want to start looking for another job.
By focusing on what special counsel Robert Hur wrote about Biden's failing memory in his report on his mishandling of confidential government files dating from his time as vice president, they missed the more significant nugget in Hur's explanation of why there would be no indictment.
Remember, the Biden Justice Department indicted former President Donald J. Trump over the same issue.
The outcomes were different, Hur explained, not just because Biden couldn't remember things but because he cooperated with the investigation while Trump didn't.
His suggestion the Biden Justice Department rushed the case into court to damage him politically now looks stronger.
If Biden did any of the things with classified materials that Trump is accused of doing - and Hur's report makes it pretty clear he did - then the DOJ either erred in not moving forward with an indictment or was wrong to have indicted Trump.
