Republican lawmakers say the Biden administration is refusing to release a set of audio recordings that could help settle the debate over whether President Joe Biden's faltering performance at last month's presidential debate was just a one-off "bad night," as he has repeatedly claimed.
"We all know why they don't want to turn over the audio because it will ... show exactly what we all saw on the debate stage a couple weeks ago," House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters on Tuesday. "That is something they want to cover up."
In his recorded interview with investigators, Biden appeared to be a "well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," and that's how he would likely appear to a jury, Hur wrote in his final report.
Hur's conclusions were blunt: The president showed "diminished faculties and faulty memory" during his five hours with Hur's team, at times exhibiting "limited precision and recall."
Even six years earlier, in recorded conversations with a ghostwriter that Hur obtained, Biden was "often painfully slow, with Mr. Biden struggling to remember events and straining at times to read and relay his own notebook entries," Hur wrote. "In his interview with our office, Mr. Biden's memory was worse."
Hur, in his final report, wrote, "It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict [Biden] ... of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness."

Everybody knows from all those years in the senate that he is not the brightest bulb in the pack. Before Kamala Biden was the worst VP ever.
Our government still hides important documents about the JFK assassination from us.
Must be bad.
Our government is hiding the Hur tapes from us.
Must be bad.
I see this as just another diversion. All that’s missing is Jordan’s gavel.
It should have been a video recording. No reason not to.
TPTB will destroy the tapes/recordings before they’ll release them for all the world to hear.
Enough how much proof do we need
He’s TOO FEEBLE to stand trial for a short period.....BUT he’s OKAY to RUN THE COUNTRY FOR 4 MORE YEARS!!!!! OMG!!

In a nutshell, this is exactly the mindset that is required to be a donkey voter.
“Republicans want to hear shielded interview tapes of Biden.”
Why doesn’t ABC News want to hear shielded interview tapes of Biden? Why doesn’t ABC News want to know why they are shielded? How is this a “republican thing”?
Class is in session folks, this is lesson 101 in how the media pit us against each other.
If he had one good day, they’d be plastering it all over the MSM non-stop.
There aren’t any clips of him having a good day. Because they don’t exist.
No, it’s not *One bad day*.
Hearings, we need hearings ASAP! Send subpoenas now! //sarc//
I’m betting the audio not only illustrates Biden’s dimentia, it also includes some pretty damaging evidence that was not included in the transcripts.
jb vs. a potato.
I have my money on the potato.
Those government officials (name them!!) who are refusing to release the set of audio recordings are giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
Face it. There are many traitors in government. Their attitude is that you and legality can kiss their a**. Just what is anyone going to do about that?
WOW, are we SURE this came from ABC/Disney????
It should have been a video recording.
We all know that Joe prefers to use the record player.
Any such tapes should be shielded, until October. I would say late October. They may sound far less disastrous than is presumed so don’t rely too much on them.
And gor God’s sake stop with this frantic GOPe effort to get him replaced before late Oct.
White House Counsel Ed Siskel later said Republicans had no “legitimate need” for the recordings and likely only wanted them to “chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes.”
So they were trying out the cheap fakes excuse, they got away with it and used it again. Then Joe did the debate and the cheap fake lie fell apart. If they still don’t want to release the recordings they must be REALLY bad.
