While the transcripts of the interviews have already been released, Biden’s effort to block the recordings puts him in a politically awkward position: He has insisted that Hur has mischaracterized the interviews but is nonetheless trying to maintain secrecy over the raw audio.
“The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal — to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes,” White House Counsel Ed Siskel wrote in the letter to Republican House leaders Thursday morning revealing Biden’s decision. “Demanding such sensitive and constitutionally-protected law enforcement materials from the Executive Branch because you want to manipulate them for potential political gain is inappropriate.”
Biden claims he was unfairly characterized as an old memory impaired octogenarian in the transcripts yet refuses to release the audio that would, in his mind, exonerate him from being viewed as mentally impaired.
How does anyone who thinks he isn’t in cognitive decline defend this? Do you believe Garlands excuse?
