This episode has the potential to galvanize GOP supporters and perhaps convert a few from the other side. We’ll see if there is any sustaining power. I suspect the internecine conflicts on the right will destroy much of the potential.

I think a lot of that will now depend on the sentencing.

There is always the straw that broke the camel's back. This may be it.

The Latest DOJ Reason for Refusing to Turn Over Biden-Hur Audio Tapes Is Beyond Absurd
Matt Vespa

The audio recordings of the interview Special Counsel Robert Hur conducted with Joe Biden stemming from his investigation into whether the president mishandled classified documents remain under lock and key. Biden invoked executive privilege, abusing that power like his former boss, Barack Obama, when he was pressed over documents relating to the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal involving the ATF. The reasoning behind the refusal was already troubling, with Attorney General Merrick Garland essentially saying that the Justice Department could ignore subpoenas they find disagreeable. Now, they’re saying artificial intelligence could alter the audio recordings (via Politico):

    [The Justice Department is seizing on an increasingly common fear as it fights to prevent the release of the audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with former special counsel Robert Hur: It could spawn deepfakes.

    The concern — raised as part of an overnight court filing late Friday — is the latest step in a multi-pronged legal battle aimed at forcing the Justice Department to release the audio, which Biden claimed executive privilege over last month.

    “The passage of time and advancements in audio, artificial intelligence, and ‘deep fake’ technologies only amplify concerns about malicious manipulation of audio files. If the audio recording is released here, it is easy to foresee that it could be improperly altered, and that the altered file could be passed off as an authentic recording and widely distributed,” the department wrote in a 49-page filing.

    Beyond creating AI-generated deepfakes, Bradley Weinsheimer, an associate deputy attorney general at DOJ, argued in an affidavit included in the filing on Friday night that releasing the audio would create a “substantial risk that malicious actors could alter the recording to (for example) insert words that President Biden did not say or delete words that he did say.”]

AI? Are they being serious?

Democrats Deserve Everything Bad That Comes Their Way…And More
Derek Hunter
5–6 minutes

I haven’t liked them for a while now, but after this garbage involving former President Donald Trump and their hypocrisy about the “respecting the justice system” while the President brags about defying the Supreme Court on student loans and they all try to smear conservative Justices at every turn has me now thinking I wouldn’t give them the Heimlich Maneuver if they were choking, or even pee on them if they were on fire. Democrats truly are disgusting.

I’d add a joke about meaning that in the nicest possible way, but I don’t. I wish them ill. I wish them what they deserve. I wish Joe Biden everything that smug smirk of his deserves as he half-dead shuffled his way out of the room after reading his staff-prepared statement on this on Friday. At this point, the only time he moves like someone who doesn’t have one foot and 4 toes in the grave is when he’s dancing on the grave of his son Beau to deflect responsibility from one of his other disgraces.

While he’s responsible for it, Joe is not alone. He’s suffering from dementia, about which there is no doubt, but it’s difficult to say just how deeply he has sunk into that abyss because he’s also very stupid, and always has been.

Whether it is senility or stupidity, history needs to be harsh on this sack of excrement. Sure, Hell is awaiting this false Catholic for eternity, but the eternity of human history needs to reflect him accurately as well. He’s the new Jimmy Carter who should face criminal probes from every Republican Attorney General or District Attorney in the country. His family has more LLCs that most small towns, find some pass-thru or connection to justify jurisdiction and go to town.
