That’s why I’m thinking this is just bait.

They want Republicans in Congress angry and not thinking straight in an election year.

I can’t imagine what would be in that taped conversation that would help Trump win at all...which is what every bit of energy should be spent on right now.

Defeating Biden, not playing legal games about a transcript/recording that’s probably covered under EP.

I think we should be picking the battlefield, and I don’t think this is it.

Yes, this is an embarrassment for Biden, a distraction, but that is it. Time and energy should be spent elsewhere as this won’t win/lose votes.

Too late. Some of the recording is in the book he published.

Although a president has the authority to & privilege of changing the status of classified documents—which he did ... while Joe was veep, with no such authority, when he started squirreling classified docs in several locations (including his garage), Trump is being prosecuted while Joe is not, because he’s non compos mentis, whew lad.
I want off this timeline.

What a shame it would be for the entire country to hear Slow Joe, without the pep pills and carefully managed, scripted and staged appearances that desperately attempt to make out to be, well, alive.

The roughly one-third of America that approves of his disastrous presidency would by shocked to find that their hero, yes—we’re looking at you Whoopi Goldberg, is in that rough of a shape.

The rest of us will point an either laugh or shake our heads that the greatest country that ever existed on this earth is suffering from that senile, demented hand on the tiller.

No one in his group of handlers—I mean “advisors”—is blind to the fact that the emperor has no clothes but a soiled pair of Depends. So it would have shocked me if they hadn’t claimed executive privilege.

I believe that the dodge that any of this is executive level material, and parts that could be judged as “national security” swiftly edited out. I know—I edit audio for content regularly.

They will ride this until someone with more power than Slow Joe forces their hand. Which may be a good thing, the sweet spot will be a month before the elections. Then people’s most recent impression of their candidate will be a doddering, sleepy, forgetful old coot whose best days left him 50 years ago.

.......we have seen Biden stumble and plod the WH lawn, fall up and down plane stairs, get lost on a 3’ podium, babble, slur his words, tell weird stories about cannibals...... underscoring that Biden is a mentally impaired, doddering, old coot — which was affirmed by Special Counsel Hur.


So Special Counsel Robert K. Hur must now be “surprised” that Biden-—who Hur said a jury would perceive as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” and thus be unlikely to convict -——is an aggressive eager debater, even meticulously setting the debate terms, appealing to voters who are anxious to reelect “an elderly man w/ a poor memory.”

Reference: Hur was appointed January 2023 by AG Garland to conduct the investigation of Biden into possible unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents at the U of Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement and in the garage of the Wilmington, Del private residence of Joe Biden, as well as several other places........all easily accessible to influence-peddler Hunter Biden.


Joe finished his “kindly old man w/ faulty memory” act (to escape jail for mishandling classifieds).

Now Joenothing is into his “I’m a trusted beacon of Democrat leadership” reelection act.

Must be almost time for his “resurrect my dead war hero son” act, a proven vote-getter any moron in Delaware can tell ya.

The Biden administration is simply amature hour on steriods... they haven’t got a clue. A couple of his staffers got together and thought after discussing the matter that Executive Privilege ought to prevent release. Fifty years ago they might have been correct, however, with the last 20 years of democrats going after Bush and Trump, Exec Priv doesn’t even work as intended, let alone to shield criminal activities.

Dead wrong. Walk and chew gum at the same time. This video is absolutely devastating. Otherwise, they wouldn’t go to these lengths to cover it up before the election.

Monitoring.......

If someone can leak a SCOTUS opinion, someone can leak this.

Biden is invoking the little known “my little secrets” act.
An exception to the Freedom of Information Act.

Words on paper, a transcript, are one thing.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

A video........ priceless.............................

I think he’s trying to get Republicans to waste time on something that probably won’t amount to much even if they do get it released, but I hope you’re right and I’m wrong!

This is just SOP for Dems and does not reveal any content. They fight for every inch of the political battlefield 24/7/365.

I wonder if the transcript text is 100% complete and unedited. If we had a sound recording, that could be altered too.
