THOSE AUDIO RECORDINGS OF BIDEN'S ESPIONAGE TESTIMONY MUST BE UNIMAGINABLY SHOCKING -- HENCE, THE GARLAND COVERUP
Merritt Garland MUST be held in contempt by the House. There is NO privilege that allows Garland to withhold the audio tapes of Joe Biden's interview by Special Counsel Robert Hurr. Indeed, Garland has already released the text to the House, but he edited the texts. Regardless, there is no privilege, if there had been a privilege it was waived with the release of the text, the text does not exactly reflect Biden's testimony, and the legislative branch (in this case, the House) has every constitutional right to have the audio tapes. And we, the people, have every right to hear those tapes when making voting decisions.
Why does the House want the audio? Is there a legislative purpose? Indeed, the House, as a part of the legislative branch, need not justify its request to the executive branch when there is no privilege preventing its receipt of the information. In fact, a citizen, or public interest group, or the press, do not need to make a constitutional argument for access to the audio tapes. It's called the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Moreover, there is a legislative purpose. Among other things, the House wants to know if Biden is competent to remain as president. And why is that relevant? Because it may want to consider a constitutional amendment to address the situation of an incapacitated president because the 25th amendment, which is supposed to address a situation where a president is incapacitated, relies on the virtue of the vice president and cabinet members to act. But the vice president and the cabinet are not going to trigger the 25th amendment because they are partisans more interested in retaining power and the president's re-election than upholding the Constitution and protecting the country.
There are other reasons: the House may want to review the whole issue of special counsel, their decision-making processes, and their reporting hierarchy (the report to the attorney general), for the purpose of possible legislative action. Indeed, given Garland's contempt for the House's oversight duties, the House may now want access to the audio tapes to determine whether further action should be taken against Garland (that is, the political nature of the privilege assertion).
It wasn't long ago when the House Democrats demanded access to Donald Trump's tax returns, claiming their legislative purpose was to determine whether the tax code required amendments. Of course, that was a sham. Yet, a federal court ordered their release. That order was issued after the Democrats lost the House majority but a few weeks before the new Republican majority was sworn in. Obviously, at that point of course, there was no legislative purpose. And they proceeded to take those tax returns and release them to the press (they found nothing illegal or untoward).
Garland is hoping to play out the clock. He knows that litigation for the audio of Biden's testimony will take time -- that is, will not result in a decision until after the general election. He is prepared to be held in contempt as he is giving press statements self-righteously claiming that he is defending the investigative process against grass political demands. In truth, Garland is using the DOJ and the law to eviscerate both, as he has throughout his tenure. This is nothing but a political coverup to protect Biden from would be the public's revulsion at the mental incapacity of the president and those who are desperately trying to conceal it and drag him across the finish line in the general election.
Levin huffs and puffs, but never goes anywhere.
The House vote on Garland’s contempt is today. They’d better unite, and hold him, and the DOJ in contempt, or all bets are off.
Yes, but where would he go?
Garland is a crooked man. There is not an honest cell in his body!
Garland has wrecked the Justice Department.
He must be impeached.
He explained why in great detail they have to vote for contempt. And the vote is today. It’s up to Congress where they go.
Refusing to make public the Hur tapes is nothing but candidate
Biden manipulating the DoJ to arrange a political coverup.
Biden hopes to protect himself from the public’s revulsion at the contrived
“mental incapacity” he acted out to evade jailtime for mishandling classified documents.
Biden’s desperately trying to conceal his self-serving actions to get himself out of a jam.
He’s got ample voter fraud ready to drag himself across the finish line in November.
Garland is as much of a traitor as ChiComjoe.
There is no concept of 'privilege' in a legal CRIMINAL investigation (!), regardless of who is conducting the investigation.
Also, admittedly Garland 'edited' the text
That's just compounding the issue by Garland by creating a charge of criminal facilitation.
There is a transcript.
Maybe they doctored the transcript and don’t want you to know.
Or maybe the transcript and the audio is classic Biden but tolerable and there’s other audio out there they are more afraid of and don’t want to set a precedent.
Who knows? But they had a good reason you can bet.
..pubbies getting ready to send more strongly-worded letters....

BIDEN ANTICS A DRAWN OUT VERSION OF “WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S”
I would love to hear the argument: “We only waived the privilege for the edited and fabricated transcript that we released, not for the actual interview.”
Maybe it needs to be kept secret to not compromise an ongoing investigation. Oh, wait, we already assured the subject he would not face any charges. But we are prosecuting Trump! Yeah, that’s it!
Biden doesn’t even know when he needs a diaper change. The political coverup is not coming from Biden, but from Garland and Obama.
He is only a talk radio host, what is he supposed to do?
Dont kid yourself......Biden’s “not all there” pose is an act....
he knows exactly what’s going on...........to protect himself.
His own needs for political survival always come first.
He’s also a talented attorney. He served during the Reagan administration, ending as Chief of Staff to Attorney General Edwin Meese. After a couple years in private practice he joined Landmark Legal Foundation where he eventually served as President and I believe is currently CEO. Don’t think he’s active since becoming a broadcaster and author.
Vinnie “the Chin”?
