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."

We, the people, still do not know the extent of Biden’s medical problems but the consternation evidenced by the Democrat camp indicates they have the inside track on all of Biden’s troubling behavior.
A typical day for a Parkinson’s patients includes slowness, rigidity, balance problems, falling, low volume of voice, difficulty being understood, bladder problems, bowel problems, and sometimes cognitive decline and paranoia.
“... of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”
So a President Joe could not be impeached for the same reason?
I think the Dems have a team of sound engineers working 24/7 to create an audio tape that fits the transcript but it will be found to have many artifacts that will prove it as a fake.
Even if I were a democrat Id want to get these tapes. If they really want to deal the death blow to Biden here - release them.
..............possible very possible.............
Nobody here has gotten it.
Everybody now knows, worldwide and the networks, that Joe Biden isn’t fit for office. The debate settled that in the news, and people have acknowledged this in both political parties.
THEY AREN’T LETTING PEOPLE HEAR THE TAPES FOR ANOTHER REASON!
I believe that reason is that the DoJ and Special Prosecutor office helped Joe through the interview and fed him information that he couldn’t even remember to help him.
THEY DON’T WANT YOU THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THE DOJ IS CORRUPT AND POLITICALLY MOTIVATED!
Even if I were a democrat Id want to get these tapes. If they really want to deal the death blow to Biden here - release them.
It’s a death blow to the DoJ and special prosecutor, not Joe Biden. The Democrats are stuck in the bed they made.
Does a bear .....
Does anyone think the recording was accurately transcribed?
Oh, I think that is precisely the problem.
I think the “transcript” is largely a work of fiction. I bet it doesn’t match the actual tapes at all. That’s why they absolutely can’t show us the tapes.
It’s extremely unethical from a medical and from a legal standpoint to make up evidence to exonerate a sick and guilty individual. Which is basically what they did. If the tapes are made public, many people on their side will be destroyed.
The whole house of cards will eventually fall —
Yup, he has dementia.
Yup, the DOJ has been protecting him.
Yup, the White House has directed the lawfare against Trump.
Yup, the vaccine hurt people.
Yup, the US government funded the creation of COVID.
Yup, the 2020 election was stolen.
Yup, climate change is a massive hoax.
It’s all going to come out.
The DS is in no danger..... Biden is fighting for his life
They found the AG in contempt of Congress - he laughed
Respectfully disagree.
The tapes demonstrate a cover up by the DoJ, the democrats are done across the board in 2024 elections. The DoJ will be exposed, broken up, many prosecuted. They will not be laughing, they will be terrified. They, like the FBI, CIA, Homeland, cannot be perceived as political, or Gestapo like. The oppressed will move to prevent political behavior by intelligence, and it will be devastating.
Garland isn’t laughing about not releasing the tapes, he just is more worried if people get the truth than Congressional punishment.
So what makes the Dems think that Biden will improve by the second debate on Tuesday, Sept. 10?
Ill believe it when I see it. Remember even if Trump manages to overcome the imminent fraud and wins he will always have folks in his own party actively scheming to stop him. We saw it his first term, we see it now…. Well see it again.

Absolutely expect it! I am certain Trump does as well. I am certain he has a plan this time for those people. Strategic release of corrupted government may be part of that strategy. We will probably see if the audio and transcript match when DJT wants us to see it. The DoJ would be wise to release it before it can be used against them maximally.
