Republicans want to hear shielded interview tapes of Biden. Here’s what we know about the recordings

GOP lawmakers want the interview tapes from Robert Hur's documents probe.

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, R-Louisiana, told reporters on Tuesday. "That is something they want to cover up."

The recordings capture Biden's two-day interview last October with then-special counsel Robert Hur, who ultimately concluded that while Biden improperly retained classified documents, he shouldn't be charged with any crimes because -- unlike former president Donald Trump, who was indicted for allegedly hoarding hundreds of classified documents and then trying to cover it up -- Biden cooperated with investigators and would likely convince a jury that he made "an innocent mistake." Trump, meanwhile, has denied all charges.

Nearly two years ago, caches of classified documents from Biden's time in the Obama administration and the Senate were found in his Delaware home and in private offices elsewhere, prompting Hur's probe.

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...

Trump denied all charges... Biden essentially admitted his guilt, but because he was 'well-meaning', 'elderly' and had a 'poor memory' that's what the jury would see...

These tapes if heard would be proof positive that Biden has been suffering from dementia since at least February of this year... This is July and he's still the President?

Somebody needs to go to jail for this maleficence... But part of any Biden family exit will likely be an immediate pardon by Harris of all those implicated in the crimes committed to hide Joe's dementia.

"Here's what we know about the recordings"

Tell us, ABC. What do we know about the recordings? LOL.

At this point, the recordings won't tell us anything we don't know but will provide a couple hours of comedy.

Not only has Trump denied all charges, but the FBI intentionally planted incriminating evidence. Aren’t people supposed to go to jail for that?

Does anyone believe the transcript is exactly what is on the recordings? What is being hidden?

Has the question of who now holds the nuclear football ever been answered? You can be sure it’s an unelected bureaucrat, perhaps Lloyd Austin. Is this why Medvedev asked who had the nuclear codes when Austin went AWOL?

Even if the recordings haven’t been edited, under what freakin’ theory is is acceptable for unelected federal government bureaucrats to withhold information from the elected representatives of the people?

Someone needs to grab Merrick Garland by the...

I don’t think the presstitutes understand that the American public already knew that Biden was suffering from dementia before the debate. The debate was just confirmation and final proof of their concerns. The debate was and will remain the final nail on the coffin of the Biden campaign and cannot be walked back, hidden or forgotten.

If the tapes should be heard, I'll bet any amount that nasty letters from a few republicans will follow! /s

The question isn't about the degree of Biden's dementia, or when it started, it's regarding the transcript of the interview that Merrick Garland provided congress. Republicans believe that the Hur tapes and the Garland transcript have significant differences, making this a criminal misrepresentation on Garland's part.

RE: tapes of Biden....

House investigator: “These recordings seem to be low quality with Biden’s voice and words distorted and almost unintelligible. Maybe the microphone or recording system had problems.”

Technician: “Sir, these are actually clear and that’s how Biden must have sounded when he was talking.”

Are you saying that the Biden administration would ‘doctor’ transcripts... Like they did with the ABC interview?

I bet you are right. They are stuck on "The public thinks exactly what we tell them to think!"

“it will ... show exactly what we all saw”
That’s not the important part.
It will show the transcripts that were submitted to Congress were faked, lies, manipulated.
Someone should be on trial for that alone.
