Biden files lawsuit to stop DOJ from releasing tapes
KTLA5 ^ | May 27, 2026 | Gregory Svirnovskiy

Posted on 05/27/2026 9:54:08 AM PDT by BFW

Former President Joe Biden sued the Department of Justice late Tuesday to block the release of dozens of hours of audio connected to a now-shuttered investigation into his handling of classified documents.

At issue: Seventy hours of audio recordings and transcripts dating back to 2017, which are records of conversations between the former president and Mark Zwonitzer, an author who worked with Biden on a memoir about the death of his son, Beau. The records were obtained by the Justice Department by then-Special Counsel Robert Hur, who was appointed by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland in 2023 to investigate Biden.

The lawsuit also claims releasing the recordings could cause financial and legal harm to the former president.

It’s shows: 1) He really was mentally incompetent and should not have been acting as President; or 2) that he was mentally capable and this was a coverup of his classified documents case while still pursuing Trump for the same thing. Either way, it’s not good for Biden.

Just put copies of the recordings in a garage or two.

Heck, put them near the grave of Sandy Burglar and have some innocent dog walker discover them.

LOL!! Biden doesn’t even remember what he said during that interview, and I doubt he knows or even will remember he’s suing anyone.

Special Counsel Assigned to Hunter Biden Investigation David Weiss Worked Closely With Hunter Biden’s Brother Beau
The Leading Report ^ | August 21, 2023 | Patrick Webb
Posted on 8/21/2023, 1:25:48 PM by Macho MAGA Man

Weiss worked “hand-in-glove” with the older Biden brother from 2007 to 2010 while serving as acting U.S. attorney for Delaware. It’s also possible that he ran met Joe Biden at that period.

When Delaware’s acting U.S. attorney David C. Weiss celebrated a fraud conviction in 2010, he was joined by a key partner in the case: Beau Biden, the state’s attorney general.

Weiss worked with Joe Biden’s eldest son to hash out prosecution strategies. “We will continue to aggressively pursue all types of fraud in order to protect the public,” Weiss said in his part of a statement with Beau Biden on the fraud case.

Today, that little-known history highlights the deep challenges Weiss faces as he pursues a newly recharged investigation into Beau’s brother, Hunter Biden, in a small state long politically dominated by their father.

Joe Biden isn’t worried about anything other than needing to change his depends and where his ice cream is. The Biden family/organization is worried. Joe is done, but those who propped him up for power and profit are worried.

The courts should have no role in this matter.
