Mystery Solved

If you were to read Joe Biden’s remarks in a transcript of last month’s CNN debate, you’d be left thinking, “Well, that’s not good.” But your impression of his performance was much worse if you heard and saw him in the debate.

The entire nation was stunned by the befuddlement on Biden’s face, the weakness in his voice, and his inability to complete sentences. To thoroughly understand just how bad Biden’s mental and physical meltdown is, you had to hear it and see it.

And that brings me to a mystery that has now been solved.

Special Counsel Robert Hur interviewed Joe Biden for several hours about his mishandling of classified information. Hur wrote a report and summarized his decision not to charge the president because he was confused, frequently had to consult aides about fundamental questions, and a jury would be unlikely to convict “an elderly man with a poor memory.”

As you recall, the White House went ballistic over Hur’s report. Vice President Kamala Harris led the charge of slash and burn attacks against Special Counsel Hur. Left-wing senators also attacked Hur, claiming his report was a “partisan hit job.”

Joe Biden even addressed the nation and publicly attacked the special counsel for daring to bring up his son’s death. Well, Biden couldn’t even remember that recent exchange correctly. It was Joe Biden, not Robert Hur, who brought up Beau Biden’s death.

Hur’s report set off a major panic in the Democrat Party. Serious questions were raised then as to whether Joe Biden was fit for office. But the White House managed to put that revolt down just as the presidential primary season was getting started.

Then something really strange happened. Under intense pressure, the Justice Department reluctantly released a transcript of the Biden/Hur interview, but they have adamantly refused to release the audio. And now we know why.

Just as Biden went into the debate without the benefit of a teleprompter, he went into the Hur interview without the benefit of a teleprompter. What Hur and his investigators saw must have shocked them.

That’s why Attorney General Merrick Garland is adamantly refusing to hand over the audio of the interview. It is all part of an ongoing cover-up.
