In a bold and unsurprising move, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has flat out denied handing over a recording of President Joe Biden’s chitchat with former special counsel Robert Hur to the House of Representatives. The House Republicans, sniffing juicy scandal like bloodhounds, have been crying out for the juicy details of this interview where they tried to pin the “unlawful possession of classified government documents” tail on Biden. Oh, the drama and intrigue!
Hur, who was handpicked by Attorney General Merrick Garland to poke his nose into Biden’s post-Vice President days, surprisingly didn’t find anything juicy enough to slap charges on Biden. Instead, he politely mentioned that Biden’s memory might make a goldfish look like a scholar. House Republicans, not accepting this lampshade on their party, demanded the DOJ to serve up the audio recording of the interview on a silver platter. But alas, their hopes were dashed as the DOJ, in a fit of bureaucratic efficiency, shut them down faster than a leaky faucet.

The DOJ, through their mouthpiece Carlos Felipe Uriarte, basically told the House to buzz off and be happy with the transcripts they already got. Uriarte even threw in a sprinkle of legal jargon, suggesting that handing over the audio files would set a dangerous precedent where future big shots wouldn’t want to spill the beans to investigators for fear of being outed. Can’t have the elite feeling uneasy, can we?
Now, the House committees are waving the contempt card in Attorney General Garland’s face like a trump card in a high stakes poker game. They’re threatening to drag him through the mud if they don’t get their way. The White House, probably tired of these shenanigans, kept mum about the whole affair. Can you blame them for not wanting to get involved in the wrestling match between the DOJ and the House Republicans?
In typical fashion, the left-leaning Daily Caller News Foundation tries to paint the picture that the House committees are simply trying to do their job by demanding the recording. But come on, let’s call a spade a spade – this is just another witch hunt by the power-hungry Democrats trying to score political points against the Biden administration. Oh, the theatrics of Washington never cease to amuse us conservatives. Time to grab the popcorn and watch the show!
