Staff Reports
Special Counsel Robert Hur has stirred up quite the pot of trouble, or rather, a pot of nothing, when he decided not to recommend charges against President Joe Biden over classified documents. Apparently, the inability of Joe Biden to keep his paperwork in check isn’t enough to warrant a serious look from the investigators. But just when it seemed like the DOJ had closed the case, it resurfaced unexpectedly like a bad horror movie sequel.
The story takes a twist with the revelation concerning Biden’s chats with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. The Department of Justice previously claimed they lacked transcripts of these specific conversations, but those 117 pages of supposedly missing documents appear to have magically materialized. It’s a bit ironic that the same department that can’t seem to find its own shoes suddenly strikes gold with audio recordings and transcripts. These documents, which those in the know might liken to the Holy Grail of Biden’s classified document saga, were acknowledged in a court filing by DOJ lawyer Cameron Silverberg.

Interestingly, this new admission contradicts earlier statements claiming no transcripts were available. It’s almost as if the DOJ puts out misinformation to fit a narrative. The earlier filing suggested there were no records to verify the infamous conversations, leaving the average citizen to shake their head in disbelief. In the world of the DOJ, it seems that truth is a malleable commodity, much like the president’s grasp on reality.
The Heritage Foundation is taking a stand in this circus, requesting these transcripts through a Freedom of Information Act request. They are also raising the stakes with a lawsuit to obtain audio from Biden’s interview with Hur. Given Biden’s apparent mental gymnastics during the inquiry—struggling to recall simple events, reading his own notes with the concern of a toddler trying to understand Shakespeare—it’s no wonder there’s an effort to keep this stuff under wraps.
What’s really entertaining in all of this is the fact that Hur, in defending his actions, highlighted Biden’s cognitive decline during questioning. Who knew that a mental state of confusion could be a lawyer’s best defense strategy? Hur claimed that convincing a jury to convict a sitting (or rather wandering) president, whose mental faculties are in question, would be an uphill battle. It’s almost as if the special counsel acknowledged that when your star witness struggles to string a sentence together, the case isn’t just weak; it’s patently absurd.
It’s becoming clearer that the ultimate goal here isn’t just to avoid accountability for our highest office but to cloak the whole administration in a veil of confusion. If the DOJ can’t stick to the story long enough to find the one missing document, how can it expect the American public to buy into the narrative that everything is on the up and up? For now, it’s all fun and games as Americans tune in to the latest episode of “As the White House Turns.”
