It comes from the immunity decision the Supreme Court ruled on, and Clarence Thomas, in his dissent, said that independent prosecutors appointed by the Attorney General aren\u2019t legit,\u201d the president told Holt of Cannon\u2019s decision. \u201cThe basis upon which the case was thrown out, I find specious because I don\u2019t agree with Clarence Thomas and or the Supreme Court decision on immunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden also pointed to his own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-arrested-senate-republicans-splinter-on-classified-document-charges\/\" title=\"Donald Trump&#039;s arrest causes Senate Republicans to divide over classified document charges.\">classified documents matter<\/a>, in which a special counsel did not recommend charges, to draw a distinction between himself and Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey spent months on mine going through \u2014 and I was totally cooperative,\u201d he stated. \u201cThere were like 10, 12 agents in my house for nine hours unaccompanied going through every single thing I had, as appropriate, and they looked at me and concluded I didn\u2019t do a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dan-bongino-pretending-that-guns-caused-texas-school-shooting-is-not-being-serious-about-the-problem\/\" title=\"Dan Bongino: Pretending That Guns Caused Texas School Shooting Is Not Being Serious About the Problem\">damn thing wrong<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the interview, Biden also became increasingly frustrated with Holt\u2019s questioning of his decision to stay in the 2024 race, saying he alone is making that decision. Biden noticeably bristled when asked if he\u2019s spoken to former President Barack Obama about his intentions since late June. Biden confirmed that he has not spoken to Obama for a \u201ccouple weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t have to see it. I was there,\u201d Biden shot back at Holt when pressed on whether he\u2019d reviewed footage from the first debate. \u201cI don\u2019t plan on having another performance on that level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLester, look, why don\u2019t you guys ever talk about the 18, 28 lies he told?
