Garland’s Contempt

The Biden Justice Department is vehemently refusing to turn over audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden.

Attorney General Merrick Garland missed yesterday’s deadline to hand the audio over to congressional investigators. All the department provided was a transcript of Hur’s interview with Biden’s ghostwriter.

The stubborn refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas demonstrates the utter contempt this administration has for Congress and the rule of law.

Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, blasted the Justice Department’s continued evasion and stonewalling, saying:

“The Biden Administration does not get to determine what Congress needs and does not need for its oversight of the executive branch. . . Why shouldn’t the American people be able to hear the actual audio of his answers? The American people demand transparency from their leaders, not obstruction.”

Why are they digging in their heels since we already have the transcript, which by itself is very embarrassing for Biden?

Well, the audio would be even more revealing in terms of how Biden sounded and how long it took him to answer simple questions. Does he sound totally confused? And what would the average person conclude after hearing his voice in a very controlled situation?

One can only conclude from the Justice Department’s resistance that the audio is very bad, and they are worried it would further damage Biden’s image in the minds of voters, who already have serious concerns about his mental fitness for the job.

It’s also more evidence of the two systems of justice and how this Justice Department is running interference for the Biden family. Some might call that obstruction of justice.
