Biden tapes, if heard, might be TNT

There’s a reason the U.S. Attorney General won’t release 5 hours of audio tapes of Joe Biden. Presumably, the audio would reveal once and for all that our president has no brain.

The more I think about it, the decision of Attorney General Merrick Garland to not turn over audio tapes of President Biden’s five-hour interview with a special prosecutor is potentially explosive news.

Background:
Via a subpoena, two Congressional Committees have demanded that the Department of Justice turn over audio tapes of this interview.

The attorney general, along with “President Biden,” cited “executive privilege” in claiming they don’t have to comply with this Congressional oversight request. (The attorney general said redacted transcripts of this interview are all Congress needs).

Basically, the Department of Justice said it doesn’t have to do what Congress told them they have to do.

For now at least, the bottom-line is that nobody in Congress or - more importantly, no American citizens - can listen to this audio tape.

Here, the main issue does not involve details of Special Prosecutor Robert Hur’s investigation into whether Biden had illegal possession of government documents from his tenure as vice president and as a U.S. senator.

What Republicans in Congress are really trying to find out is whether compelling evidence exists that the president of the United States is suffering from dementia, and thus, is not fit to serve in this office. (The assumption, silly as it may be, is that a nation should not be “led” by a person with severely-impaired cognitive abilities).

Hur declined to file charges against President Biden, in part, because he said a jury would be unlikely to convict “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

It’s the Mother-of-All Cover-Ups
(Excluding Covid, Epstein, J-6, ‘Russia! Russia! Russia!’)

To me, this story suggests a massive crime and cover-up that involves two of the three branches of our federal government.

House Judiciary Committee Republicans voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress on Thursday.

The vote came after President Biden asserted executive privilege over the audio tapes of his interview with ex-special counsel Robert Hur in a move to shield Garland from criminal charges.

Republicans have seized in a line in Hur's report about the president's mishandling of classified documents stating Biden appeared to be an 'elderly man with a poor memory' and wanted audio evidence.

House Defeats Resolution Holding Garland In Contempt – Here are the Four GOPers Who Voted NO

As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl) informed fellow lawmakers of her intention to introduce a resolution compelling the House sergeant at arms to detain Attorney General Merrick Garland and present him before the lower chamber.

Despite attempts by House Speaker Mike Johnson at trying to get her to delay her vote, she ultimately was able to hold it Thursday.

Now, Jake Sherman reports that the House has defeated the resolution with the help of four RINOS.

Here were the four Republicans who voted against holding Garland in contempt:

Rep. David Joyce (OH-14)

Rep. Michael Turner (OH-10)

Rep. Tom McClintock (CA-04)

Rep. John Duarte (CA-13)

The measure would have fined Attorney General Garland $10,000 per day for refusing to hand over the tapes of Special Counsel Hur’s Biden interview. Luna originally promised to direct the House sergeant-at-arms to take Garland into custody, but pivoted and delayed her move after discussing the measure with Speaker Johnson.
