THOSE AUDIO RECORDINGS OF BIDEN'S ESPIONAGE TESTIMONY MUST BE UNIMAGINABLY SHOCKING -- HENCE, THE GARLAND COVERUP

Merritt Garland MUST be held in contempt by the House. There is NO privilege that allows Garland to withhold the audio tapes of Joe Biden's interview by Special Counsel Robert Hurr. Indeed, Garland has already released the text to the House, but he edited the texts. Regardless, there is no privilege, if there had been a privilege it was waived with the release of the text, the text does not exactly reflect Biden's testimony, and the legislative branch (in this case, the House) has every constitutional right to have the audio tapes. And we, the people, have every right to hear those tapes when making voting decisions.

Why does the House want the audio? Is there a legislative purpose? Indeed, the House, as a part of the legislative branch, need not justify its request to the executive branch when there is no privilege preventing its receipt of the information. In fact, a citizen, or public interest group, or the press, do not need to make a constitutional argument for access to the audio tapes. It's called the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Moreover, there is a legislative purpose. Among other things, the House wants to know if Biden is competent to remain as president. And why is that relevant? Because it may want to consider a constitutional amendment to address the situation of an incapacitated president because the 25th amendment, which is supposed to address a situation where a president is incapacitated, relies on the virtue of the vice president and cabinet members to act. But the vice president and the cabinet are not going to trigger the 25th amendment because they are partisans more interested in retaining power and the president's re-election than upholding the Constitution and protecting the country.

There are other reasons: the House may want to review the whole issue of special counsel, their decision-making processes, and their reporting hierarchy (the report to the attorney general), for the purpose of possible legislative action. Indeed, given Garland's contempt for the House's oversight duties, the House may now want access to the audio tapes to determine whether further action should be taken against Garland (that is, the political nature of the privilege assertion).

It wasn't long ago when the House Democrats demanded access to Donald Trump's tax returns, claiming their legislative purpose was to determine whether the tax code required amendments. Of course, that was a sham. Yet, a federal court ordered their release. That order was issued after the Democrats lost the House majority but a few weeks before the new Republican majority was sworn in. Obviously, at that point of course, there was no legislative purpose. And they proceeded to take those tax returns and release them to the press (they found nothing illegal or untoward).

Garland is hoping to play out the clock. He knows that litigation for the audio of Biden's testimony will take time -- that is, will not result in a decision until after the general election. He is prepared to be held in contempt as he is giving press statements self-righteously claiming that he is defending the investigative process against grass political demands. In truth, Garland is using the DOJ and the law to eviscerate both, as he has throughout his tenure. This is nothing but a political coverup to protect Biden from would be the public's revulsion at the mental incapacity of the president and those who are desperately trying to conceal it and drag him across the finish line in the general election.
