Oh Boy: Trump Administration Might Release Biden Tapes From Special Counsel Investigation

The interview infuriated the Democratic Party and its media allies. Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate whether Joe Biden mishandled classified information. This comes after such sensitive materials were found unsecured in multiple locations.

Special Counsel Hur interviewed the aging, dementia-ridden president, and he came away with this damning conclusion, where he described Joe as a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.” We know those tapes are probably a doozy, and Trump is considering releasing them.

Biden is probably too far gone to prosecute him for anything. But shows how lying and corrupt the Democrats were to hide it from the public.

It’s not about getting taterhead, it’s about showing how deceitful democrats are.

If this puts taterheads legacy into a further bad light than so be it.....if that’s even possible.

On President Joe Biden’s first day in office, White House press secretary Jen Psaki pledged that the administration would “bring transparency and truth back to government.”

Biden won’t be charged in classified docs case;
special counsel cites instances of ‘poor memory’
Donald Trump remains the only president in history
to face criminal charges over classified documents.

WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Hur has declined to prosecute President Joe Biden for his handling of classified documents but said in a report released Thursday that Biden’s practices “present serious risks to national security” and added that part of the reason he wouldn’t charge Biden was that the president could portray himself as an “elderly man with a poor memory” who would be sympathetic to a jury. “Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen,” the report said, but added that the evidence “does not establish Mr. Biden’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”

The report from Hur — who previously appointed by former President Donald Trump as one of the country’s top federal prosecutors — also made clear the “material distinctions” between a theoretical case against Biden and the pending case against Trump for his handling of classified documents, noting the “serious aggravating facts” in Trump’s case.

Biden said in remarks from the White House after the report was made public that he was pleased that the report cleared him. “The decision to decline criminal charges was straightforward,” Biden said. He also said: “My memory’s fine.” Hur’s report included several shocking lines about Biden’s memory, which the report said “was significantly limited” during his 2023 interviews with the special counsel. Biden’s age and presentation would make it more difficult to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that the now-81-year-old was guilty of willfully committing a crime.

“We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” it said. “Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.” Later in the report, the special counsel said that the president’s memory was “worse” during an interview with him than it was in recorded conversations from 2017.

“He did not remember when he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of the interview when his term ended (‘if it was 2013 — when did I stop being Vice President?’), and forgetting on the second day of the interview when his term began (‘in 2009, am I still Vice President?’),” the report said. Biden also had difficulty remembering the timing of his son Beau’s death, as well as a debate about Afghanistan, the report said. “He did not remember, even within several years, when his son Beau died,” the report said.

Defenders of the president quickly pointed out that he sat for the interview in the days after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Biden, giving previously scheduled remarks on Thursday, appeared to nod to that, saying, “I was in the middle of handling an international crisis.” He also added that he was “especially pleased” that the special counsel “made clear the stark differences between this case and Donald Trump.”

Andrew Weissman, who served on special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, said Thursday on MSNBC that Hur’s decision to lodge criticisms of Biden’s memory problems was “gratuitous” and reminded him of when former FBI Director James Comey held a news conference criticizing Hillary Clinton in the months before the 2016 election.

“This is not being charged. And yet a person goes out and gives their opinion with adjectives and adverbs about what they think, entirely inappropriate,” he said. “I think a really fair criticism of this is, unfortunately, we’re seeing a redux of what we saw with respect to James Comey at the FBI with respect to Hillary Clinton in terms of really not adhering to what I think are the highest ideals of the Department of Justice.”

Hur made all Asians look like gullible wimps.

Hur’s report included several shocking lines about Biden’s memory,
<><>he said Biden’s memory “was significantly limited” during 2023 interviews.
<><>Hur didnt think a jury would find the now-81-year-old guilty of “willfully” committing a crime.
<><>“Biden ‘presented himself’ as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
<><>”Biden’s age and demeanor makes it difficult to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Yet, the impaired, memory-stricken Biden was allowed to stay in office.
Hur was too stupid to realize this was Biden’s “big act” to save his filthy rear from jail.

Yes, any light we can shine on them is to our advantage. I don’t think it will change any Democrat minds, however.

It’s happening. Biden family needs $$$$ so Biden is doing a speaking tour to hammer Trump. He wants to counter these tapes and books that are coming. His grandchildren have a lifestyle the Big Guy needs to fund.

Sure release the tapes, but they will only confirm what we witnessed in Biden’s disastrous debate with Trump….Joe Biden has dementia. Like Hillary once said what difference does it make? Biden is no longer President and his replacement as candidate Kamala Harris is not President either. Now Washington insiders are finally acknowledging Biden was mentally addled during his presidency. The real question we should be asking is who ran the country, wrote those Executive Orders and pardons and controlled the auto pen.

Everytime he speaks, he only shows the world that his mind was gone

And he doesn’t have the stamina to do many appearances

INB4 “It’s shameful that the Trump administration is attempting to embarrass the former president like this. It’s beyond the pale”.

In Trump’s first term, the Dems kept bringing up Trump’s cognitive function and the 25th Amendment.

As I’ve said before whatever the Dems FALSELY accuse Trump of, they are guilty of many times over.

As I remember one outcome of the this investigation was that Biden was “too old” to be prosecuted or some such nonsense.

Well, I think these tapes will reveal why such a conclusion was reached.

We all know there was a cover-up of Biden’s mental unfitness to hold office.

The 25th Amendment was enacted for the likes of Joe Biden.

If it was EVER going to be used legitimately, it would have been to remove him.

These tapes represent just one of the smoking guns that could have been invoked to remove him.
