Did DOJ Destroy the Special Counsel Audio Interview With Biden?

Attorney General Merrick Garland was voted in contempt of Congress last week by the U.S. House of Representatives after repeatedly refusing to hand over the audio interview conducted by former Special Counsel Robert Hur with President Joe Biden. The interview was part of Hur's investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified information when he left the U.S. Senate and vice presidency.

The transcript of Hur's interview with Biden was released shortly after the Special Counsel investigation was completed and found the president is "too old" with a "bad memory" to be charged with felonies he committed - which are documented in the final report. 

Since February DOJ has been adamant about hiding the audio version of the conversation from the American people. President Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio version, but not the printed transcript. 

Now there are questions about whether the audio has been destroyed.

"Are you comfortable, do you all feel the tapes still exist? Because they're going to great extremes to prevent the American people from hearing it," Rep. Ralph Norman asked during a House Rules Committee meeting last week. 

"It's my hope and it's my understanding that they still exist," House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer replied.  

Last week the Department of Justice determined it would not move forward with charges for Garland.

Garland hired Rose Mary Woods to safeguard the tapes.

Next January 21st the criminal investigation can start.

yes

there are no consequences

Destroying the recordings is insurance for when he’s no longer at the DOJ and his contempt of congress is still alive. The DOJ would still have the recordings after Trump wins the White House, and leaving the recordings to the next DOJ head, would be very damaging to the ‘former’ DOJ head and to Biden and to democrats and to the left-wing media. So, there’s no doubt that the recordings have ‘disappeared’.

In the future, congress and perhaps even SCOTUS should get copy of any interview recordings of potential criminality, ‘just in case’. It’s critical for ‘oversight’ by any of the 3 branches of the federal government.

They destroyed the tape because it never matched the transcript the audio is much much worse Biden would have to resign the day it’s released if it ever came out

They may not be able to have him prosecuted but the Republicans can lock his ass up until the end of this term and there isn’t a damned thing the DOJ can do to stop them. Not legally, anyway.

And the Republicans know they can do it. The real question is why haven’t they?

“Next January 21st the criminal investigation can start.”

I see no need for a 24 hour delay; not in the slightest. The signed SES, DOJ, FBI and NSA termination slips should be in Trump’s hands at the very moment he approaches the podium to be sworn in to his 3rd election victory -— 2nd term.

Trump’s first utterances should be the announcement of the DC-Deep-State’s arrest warrants and the formation of military tribunals for the hearing of acts of treason against the United States and for crimes against humanity to be held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba -— accompanied by a wink and a special callout to Juan Merchan and his daughter; traidora...

Where are my brass knuckles?

I want treasonous DC heads on spikes.

Garland hired Rose Mary Woods to safeguard the tapes.

I am old thus remember Rose Mary Woods. I doubt many of our Freepers know who she is. If you know who she is and why see is. Just post a note here. If you look up who she is and then post it is not a fair survey.;

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

Now that’s funny right there.

Yep those were the days!!

[Candor7]

Not to worry, Hur has his own personal copy ready to be released if he is murdered. That’s what is keeping Hur alive.

It doesn’t make sense to get rid of the tapes when the transcript is available to all to read.

This is what I have always believed. I suspect the ‘special council’ never even asked about the boxes of classified information., or verbally assisted Biden in the cover up. The destruction of the tapes or missing audio, protects the DOJ and Merrick Garland and the DOJ from Congress and the American people from learning the truth. Yes, that’s how bad it is.

What makes you think the ‘transcript’ is accurate???

ESPECIALLY WHEN DAILY speeches from Biden that we see on TV do NOT match the “transcript”.
