The fact that Axios released the audio from the Biden-Hur interview suggests something disturbing

The big news from yesterday and today is that the tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden about unsecured classified documents in Biden’s garage became public. They showed a man who was obviously in the grips of senile dementia and who therefore had no business running anything, let alone the world’s most powerful country, one armed with nuclear weapons.

Since I already knew in 2020 that Biden was suffering from dementia, a progressive condition—and then I’d watched it progress for the next four years—the Hur tapes affirmed what I already knew. They weren’t news, indeed, to any conservatives. What has been newsworthy is watching the media try to explain away their failure to report on Biden’s mental state, going so far as to actively deny what anyone with a functioning brain could see.

Outside of the leftist bubble, the cover-up, not Biden’s dementia, has been the real news. And that gets me to something very peculiar about the release of the Hur interview tapes.

To appreciate my point, you need to go back…back…back in time.

The genesis of all this was the revelation in January 2023 that Biden had been storing in his open garage—without any attempt at protection—classified material that he either removed from the White House while he was Vice President or that he retained from his days as a Senator.

Either way, he had violated national security laws and ought to have been hauled off then and there. Only the president is above those laws. No one else is.

Well, that’s the theory. In fact, Democrats and their allies always get a pass or, as happened with Bradley Manning, the whackadoodle who stole government secrets because he thinks he’s a woman, a pardon.

Instead of handcuffs, Biden was subjected to gentle questioning by Special Counsel Hur. In February 2024, Hur released his report about Biden’s crimes. Ultimately, Hur pretty much pulled a James “8647” Comey. As you may recall, in July 2016, Comey gave a long press conference during which he detailed chapter and verse of Hillary Clinton intentionally bypassing national security protocols to run all of her emails while Secretary of State through an unsecured server in her bathroom. Then, he essentially added that she didn’t mean to do anything wrong, so no sane prosecutor would indict her…and Hillary walked.

Does the Release of the Hur Recordings Raise More Questions About the Autopen Signings?

In his four years in office, Joe Biden pardoned or granted clemency to more than 8,000 criminals, including his own son, four times more than Barack Obama (1,927), who was in office for eight years.

Republicans raised questions about Biden’s extensive reliance on the executive autopen to sign all those pardons and acts of clemency. Indeed, it would seem to be a non-issue. All presidents have used an autopen for official and unofficial business, so what’s the big deal?

Legal experts scoffed at that idea except in one unlikely instance. Kermit Roosevelt, constitutional law expert at the University of Pennsylvania, said, “If the president doesn’t know that something was done, then it’s not a valid official act.”

Did Biden fully understand that he was pardoning and granting clemency to these 8,000 people? 

Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a statement on Friday saying that his committee was going to revisit the autopen issue it raised during hearings last March. At that time, the Biden White House stonewalled Comer’s committee, refusing requests for documents and having aides testify. 

“The American people deserve to know who was actually calling the shots in the Biden White House, because it wasn’t Joe Biden. His mental decline was obvious to anyone paying attention. But instead of being honest, the Biden Administration, Democrats in Congress, and the legacy media lied and covered it up. They gaslit the American people while propping up a man who was unfit to lead,” the statement said.

The release of Hur’s recorded interview with Joe Biden changes everything. It raises serious questions that Democrats can’t avoid: How impaired was Joe Biden? Did he fully understand the act of pardoning so many criminals? 

Who was pulling the strings? Who was the puppetmaster?

Disturbing Audio of Robert Hur’s Interview Showing Biden Repeatedly Struggling to Remember Names and Dates Released

Audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s 2023 interview with Joe Biden was released on Friday evening.

The portion of the audio released showed Biden repeatedly struggling to remember names and dates.

AUDIO courtesy of Axios.

Joe Biden’s lawyer came to the rescue as the prosecutor grilled him about why he kept a classified memo about Afghanistan.

At one point during the interview, Joe Biden went on and on about shooting a bow and arrow in Mongolia.

“The audio shows what the transcript lacks — Biden’s dry-whisper voice and the long silences as he struggles to speak and remember details. Those often were supplied by his attorneys, who acted as caretakers of his memory,” Axios reporter Alex Thompson said.

Biden stumbles over words, struggles with key memories — including year son Beau died — during Special Counsel Hur interview, leaked audio reveals

Former President Joe Biden rambled through an October 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur — repeatedly losing his train of thought and struggling to recall key details of his political and personal life, including when his son died, newly released audio of the sitdown shows.

“Well, um, I, I, I, I, I, I don’t know,” Biden, then 80, responded to one question about where he would store papers related to his post-vice presidential work at the Penn Biden Center, his memoir “Promise Me, Dad” and the Cancer Moonshot initiative.

Biden sat down with Hur and co-counsel Marc Krickbaum Oct. 8-9 as part of a probe ordered by then-Attorney General Merrick Garland into the 46th president’s unlawful retention of national security papers from his time as Barack Obama’s No. 2, as well as a senator from Delaware.

The Biden administration had refused to release the audio tapes of the interviews with Hur, which were obtained by Axios on Friday, arguing that they contained protected “law enforcement materials.”

New Biden Decline Details Emerge: ‘Beginning in 2023…’

We are getting even more confirmation of, and details behind, the scandalous lies and attempted cover-up surrounding former President Joe Biden’s physical and cognitive decline.  I call it an ‘attempted’ cover-up because they were unable to truly hide it from anyone with eyes, ears, and basic powers of observation.  They engaged in intense gaslighting, smearing anyone who accurately described what they plainly noticed as ‘cheap fakers‘ and ‘misinformation’ purveyors.  Contra the insulting, self-serving current line from many Democrats and journalists, Biden’s troubles were not some well-kept secret that was corruptly withheld from them by a small circle of advisors and family members.  They could all see what the rest of us were seeing, in real time, based solely on the president’s public appearances.  They actively joined the attempted cover-up, in service of their political party’s grip on control.  The indignant ‘Country Over Party’ lecturers aggressively prioritized Party Over Country, insisting that a plainly deteriorating president could not only remain on the job for a few more months, but could serve for an additional four years.  

They were mainlining their own political spin, conflating the interests of their tribe with the interests of the country.  This was textbook, hardcore partisanship.  Given the realities at play, it was also outrageous behavior, and an actual threat to the country.  We barely had a functioning president, and they were comfortable with lying to voters in the hopes of propping up some unconstitutional president-by-committee arrangement, for the sake of their power.  Democrats were all over television vouching for Biden’s wellness and capabilities.  The ‘news’ media instantly and dutifully parroted the newly-invented ‘cheap fake’ attack line from the White House within nanoseconds of its inception.  I’m sure those who were closest to POTUS had additional insights into the particulars about how bad things were getting behind the scenes, but the fundamental problem was glaringly apparent to millions of people who merely had access to videos of Biden doing things like walking and speaking — especially when it was already obvious how much they were limiting and restricting his public-facing events.

“He Totally F*cked Us” – Kamala Harris Aide Fingers Biden for Election Loss in New Book

A top Kamala Harris campaign aide has come out with a tell-all on what he thinks went wrong and caused Kamala Harris’ humiliating defeat in the 2024 election.

And it wasn’t her utter incompetence, apparent sobriety issues, cringeworthy behavior, or the destruction caused by the Biden-Harris administration over four years. Instead, it was all Biden’s fault.

We’re not defending Biden, but Kamala Harris was just a terrible candidate. The blame falls on the entire Democratic party for propping up a low-IQ, unelected DEI presidential nominee. Following a honeymoon period where the fake news media and Democrats propped her up, she flamed out when the American people realized just how bad she is.

David Plouffe, the former Harris aide, made the comments in an interview for CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson’s upcoming book release, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” The book is set to be released on May 20. 

“It’s all Biden,” Plouffe said. Plouffe further claims that Biden’s decision not to drop out earlier “totally f*cked us.”

Tapper, one of the biggest shills for Biden and his “sharp as a tack” mental state, is now seeking to profit with a sham exposé of the Democrats’ cover-up.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday on another excerpt from the book, which  details “Biden’s physical deterioration” and how Biden’s handlers considered putting him in a wheelchair. Biden’s physician, Kevin O’Connor, even worried that the continued stress on Biden or one more bad fall might kill him.

Justice Department Probing Biden’s Last-Minute Autopen Pardons

Outgoing Acting US Attorney for DC and now incoming Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin said on Tuesday that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons amid the growing autopen scandal.

Per CBS News: In news conference just now, outgoing U.S. Attorney for DC Ed Martin says Justice Dept is reviewing some of the last minute pardons issued by President Biden.

Martin wouldn’t comment when asked if he’d launched investigation into members of House Jan 6 Select Cmte, but said pardons “need scrutiny”

This week Ed Martin told podcast host Vince Coglianese that DOJ investigators have never seen pardons of this scope… “it looks like they could be corrupt.”

Last month the New York Times reported that Ed Martin was pursuing an inquiry into whether Joe Biden was competent to issue pardons late in his presidency.

The Oversight Project recently released analysis of Joe Biden’s pardons for family members, Dr. Tony Fauci, General Milley, J6 Committee members and Gerald Lundergan.

Joe Biden also issued a blanket pardon for his son, Hunter Biden after promising not to intervene in the Justice Department’s prosecution of tax and gun crimes.

On January 19, 2025, just one day before Trump was set to be sworn in as the 47th US President, Joe Biden issued a flurry of pardons to his family members, Fauci and others.

The Oversight Project determined that all of the pardons issued on January 19 had the same exact Biden autopen signature.

The Oversight Project also has gathered every document they could find with Biden’s signature – ALL used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that he was dropping out of the 2024 election.

Is Biden’s Family Deliberately Screwing With Democrats?

Democrats are reportedly extremely unhappy with the fact that Joe Biden’s family and his handlers are wheeling him out for interviews knowing full well that he’s completely out of it and that practically anything he says has the potential to harm their already dismal standing.

As we highlighted this past week, Biden slurred and stumbled his way through an interview with the BBC wherein he claimed that he still believes he would have won the election had he stayed in the race.

In a further disastrous appearance on The View he claimed that Kamala Harris lost because most voters are racist and sexist.

He also had to be helped out by his carer Dr Jill when he was asked to comment on his obvious cognitive decline, because he couldn’t muster a coherent sentence.

Now it’s being reported that Democrats are fuming behind the scenes, and they just want Biden to fade away.

When Joe Biden’s Brain Melted on ‘The View,’ Something Unexpected Happened: A Democratic Star Was Born

If you haven’t seen the video, it’s absolutely worth watching, because in a (slightly) different timeline — i.e. Biden’s presidential debate with Trump was scheduled closer to November (or canceled altogether) — and the Democrats were capable of keeping those 2020 COVID-era voting restrictions — there’s at least a 45% chance Joe Biden would’ve won a second term.

Seriously. Had he not been unmasked on national TV as an invalid, it’s revisionist history to assume that Biden was a no-hoper. Even after humiliating himself in his one and only debate (“We finally beat Medicare!”), he had a 58% approval rating after dropping out of the race, and trailed Trump by just one point (47% to 46%).

Donald Trump wasn’t the only one who dodged a bullet in 2024: our whole country did. 

Because there’s just no way Joe Biden could’ve handled the rigors of the presidency for another term. He couldn’t even handle the yapping yentas on “The View”.

It was sad. At the 22:58 mark, Biden lacked the cognitive abilities to answer a question about his lack of cognitive abilities. So he rambled. And by the end of his rambling, disjointed response, it’s pretty clear he had forgotten what the original question was, so his wife jumped in and answered for him.

The contrast between the steady clarity of “Doctor” Jill Biden’s voice — and the ex-president’s raspy, meandering performance — was considerable. For all of Joe Biden’s shortcomings and limitations, there was a time when he was an above-average public speaker. He was never on-par with someone such as Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama, but he built his brand by looking, sounding, and playing the part of a liberal’s idea of a working-class hero.

That time is over. At this point, trotting him out on the public stage is borderline elder abuse. 

It’s cruel.

REPORT: Trump Administration Set to Release Damning AUDIO of Biden’s Classified Docs Interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur

The Trump administration is reportedly preparing to release the full audio of Biden’s now-infamous classified documents interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.

The recording, long shielded by Biden’s Gestapo-like Justice Department, is expected to confirm what conservatives have known for years: Joe Biden is mentally unfit for office — and Democrats have known it all along.

According to Politico, citing two GOP officials briefed by top aides in President Trump’s orbit, plans to release the audio are underway, though final plans remain fluid.

Democrats and Biden’s handlers are reportedly in full-blown panic as a critical May 20 legal deadline approaches, according to two sources within Biden’s inner circle, per Politico.

A federal judge has ordered the Biden Justice Department to declare whether it will continue hiding the tapes behind the flimsy veil of “executive privilege” in response to multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits filed by Judicial Watch, The Heritage Foundation, and a coalition of media outlets.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the Biden White House admitted to altering the transcript of Joe Biden’s testimony to the Special Counsel to make him appear less incompetent.

This not-so-shocking admission comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed by the Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch against the US Department of Justice, demanding the release of the original recording of Biden’s testimony.

Biden has personally invoked Executive Privilege against The Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch in an attempt to keep his controversial interview with Special Counsel Hur under wraps.
