House Republicans say the White House may have violated the law by altering the transcripts of President Biden’s “garbage” remarks Tuesday night.

White House Counsel Edward Siskel was told in a letter from two key House Republicans that political spin doctors were “releasing a false transcript” of Mr. Biden’s words about supporters of former President Donald Trump.

“The move is not only craven, but it also appears to be a violation of federal law, including the Presidential Records Act of 1978,” said the letter signed by Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York, House Republican Conference chairwoman, and James Comer of Kentucky, House oversight committee chairman.

Merrick Garland sure as hell is not going to do anything. Now if this was a Republican, he would be all over it.

It is all just a dance between the thugs in the white house and the thugs in the house of representatives. Lower case for the titles of those entities is intentional.

Following federal law is not their priority.

Federal law-shmederal law. You Rs are complete twinkees when it comes to fighting this white house. You guys are the biggest joke in the country and it makes me sick. Now you’re all coming to us asking us to elect you again? We might be better off just to call it quits what with you weakling do-nothing’s on the job.

Wow! Maybe in twenty years or so, they'll move up to sending email!

I'm confused, from the article:

Mr. Biden said Tuesday on a Hispanic-outreach call that “the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

But the White House transcript, contrary to the live feed of his remarks at the time, had Mr. Biden saying “the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters’.”

“the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”
“the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters’.”

I don't see the difference between the statements.

I’m visualizing Barney Fife parading around and yelling “Citizen’s arrest! Citizen’s arrest!” to anyone who would listen.

I’d much rather be MAGA “garbage” than Harriz/Walz sewage.

Shall we call this latest scandal apostrophe-gate?

Lol.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

How does the apostrophe change the meaning? From what I remember the apostrophe after the “s” denotes plural.

[McGruff]

I don't understand their usage of

What are the 3 different apostrophes?

Apostrophe use: Contractions and omissions

Contraction	Uncontracted	Examples
-'d	had, would	She'd (she had, she would), I'd (I had, I would)
-'ll	will	We'll (we will), you'll (you will)
-'s	is	He's (he is), it's (it is)
I'm	I am	—

[cgbg]

We don’t know where the apostrophe goes.

It was a muttering of a senile old man.

Let the lawyers duke it out...

What a joke.
