Hur report transcript battle looms for Biden as GOP demands release

The special counsel report into President Joe Biden‘s handling of classified documents may have raised more questions than it answered.

Specifically, what exactly was said during Biden’s five-hour interview with special counsel Robert Hur that led Hur to question the president’s memory? The answer to that question could have vast political implications for Biden and his reelection campaign.

Republicans are demanding transcripts, calling loudly and repeatedly for the release of interview transcripts after White House officials called Hur’s findings into question.

“Put simply, this case is closed because the facts and the evidence don’t support the theories here,” White House counsel spokesman Ian Sams said last Friday. “The gratuitous comments [about Biden’s memory] that respected experts say is out of line are inappropriate.”

Release The Biden Transcripts Now

[i\“How in the hell dare he raise that.” — President Joe Biden, Feb. 8, 2024[/i]

In an effort to dismiss the claim that he couldn’t remember the year his son Beau died, President Joe Biden claimed he was simply angered because he was asked about it. Turns out, Biden lied.

“Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business,” Biden said at a hurriedly arranged press conference early in February.

Immediately, the media sprang into action attacking Special Counsel Robert Hur for bringing up Biden’s son.

“Beyond the pale,” they said. “A setup from the start.” “What does that have to do with the retention of classified documents?” “There is no legitimate answer for why he would do that … unless they were trying to trip him up, rattle him, gain oppo.” Etc., etc., etc.

Jill Biden even sent out a fundraising letter attacking Hur. “I can’t imagine someone would try to use our son’s death to score political points.”

Jill, who was not actually Beau’s mother, said that the day Beau Biden died from brain cancer was “forever etched” on her and Joe’s hearts.

So no memory from his time as a Senator, Vice President or maybe President?

You cannot make this stuff up.

The double standard being applied to this case vs. Trump’s is disgusting.

Interview Transcript, Congressional Testimony Shed Light on Biden's Memory Lapses During Classified Doc Investigation
Biden failed to recall when his son died, went off on strange tangents during interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur

Special Counsel Robert Hur stood by his assessment that President Joe Biden was a "well-meaning, elderly man" whose failing memory would have made it untenable to pursue prosecution of his willful retention of classified records during testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.

Transcripts of Hur’s interviews with Biden released Tuesday and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon support Hur’s assessment that there are "significant limitations" surrounding Biden’s memory. Throughout the five hours of interviews on Oct. 8 and 9, Biden struggled to recall relevant details about his handling of classified records or when he served as vice president.

The transcript also confirms Biden could not recall when his son, Beau, died, and further shows that the president raised that subject unprompted—contradicting the president’s claim during a Feb. 8 press conference that Hur raised the subject.

But the transcripts also reveal that Biden went off on a number of tangents during his interviews with special counsel Robert Hur, including anecdotes about what sound a car makes, a "risqué" bathing suit his 72-year-old wife wears, and a horrific industrial accident where a young man’s genitalia was burned off. ...

Biden then detailed a bizarre episode during one of his first jobs out of law school involving a 23-year-old construction worker with a seared penis and a missing testicle, and how the case ultimately led him to enter politics.

"This poor kid is down a hundred-foot vessel, chimney, scraping the hydrogen bubbles off of the inside," Biden told Hur. "And he was wearing the wrong pants, wrong jeans, and he—a spark caught fire and got caught in the containment vessel and he lost part of his penis and one of his testicles and he was 23 years old."

Biden claimed in a memoir that part of the reason he entered politics was his experience as a lifeguard in a predominantly black neighborhood. ...

REASON:

... A 258-page interview transcript that was released ahead of the hearing sheds some light on the latter issue. The transcript, which is based on hours of recorded interviews with Biden that Hur and his staff conducted on October 8 and October 9, largely supports Hur's description of Biden in his February 5 report, which was legally mitigating but politically damaging in the context of the 2024 presidential race, given the concerns that voters have expressed about the 81-year-old president's cognitive health. ...
