President Biden recently expressed some dissatisfaction with Attorney General Merrick Garland in relation to a special counsel report. Politico recently reported that Biden has been confiding in his advisers about his belief that Garland did not go far enough in addressing the findings of the report. The report in question characterizes Biden as an elderly individual with a weak memory.
Some of Biden's allies have taken it upon themselves to publicly defend the president and criticize the special counsel report, labelling it as subpar work. These allies argue that the report selectively picked certain references and presented them in a misleading manner. To them, this constitutes a flagrant violation of prosecutorial boundaries. They argue that Biden is an astute individual who remains mentally sharp, demonstrating an impressive grasp of global affairs, including the Middle East.
