They removed repeated words and things like “uh” and “um.” The tapes aren’t relevant to the congressional investigation. They have the transcript. They have the report |
There seems to be a significant degree of distrust between the Biden DOJ and Congress (for numerous reasons), so you'll excuse many Americans if they don't believe just "uh" and "um" were removed from the transcript. The WH itself has admitted that it substantively altered transcripts of Biden's various meetings and speeches to remove gaffes. As for relevancy, Congress gets to decide that per separation of powers. In any event, Congress knows Garland will fight tooth and nail not to release the recordings, and it's Garland's resistance that is fueling the headlines. It will be interesting to see if the "Inherent Contempt" effort will go anywhere. If it does, then you may very well see Garland arrested live on TV. |
As long as these investigations are led by people like Jim Jordan, who ignored his own subpoena, you can forget any cooperation. |
CNN has also sued for access to the audio recordings, writing in the April lawsuit that “without access to any of the interview records, the press and public initially could not form their own conclusions about Hur’s characterization of Biden. … Transcripts, however, are no substitute for recordings.” |
If the tapes are redundant and don't convey additional information, there is no harm in sharing them. The fact the Democrats refuse transparency shows that the Dems are hiding useful information from the American people. You don't have to like Trump (I don't), but no one should defend letting a demented man lead the nation. |
What's your point? Clearly you think Biden is demented, but Trump certainly is and you don't have an alternative. So if you're certain, in your mind, and we run with your notion that he's demented, then do you pick the more centrist and good hearted demented guy that is Biden or the more vicious, vindictive and deranged demented guy that is Trump? |
Robert Hur is owed an apology from all of you rabid, blinkered partisans.
The DOJ finally, magically found the transcripts. What a farce. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/23/biden-hur-biographer-transcripts-00170548 |
This DOJ is so damned corrupt. Amazing how this happened after Biden drops out. |
