DOJ steps in to safeguard audio of Biden interview with special counsel Hur in classified docs probe

[excalibur]

Must protect POTATUS at all costs.

Seriously, Merrick Garland is just Biden's Reichsleiter, same as Holder was Obama's wingman. And neither the MSM nor Dems have any problem when an AG protects a Democrat President they serve, but as soon as the shoe is on a Republican's foot they cry fouls and weak Republicans cave to the faux outrage.

WE ALL KNOW that the MSM and Dems would be screaming for a Republican AG to release them, yada, yada, yada, Joe Scarborough.

​

The Justice Department on Wednesday sought to deny a request by CNN and conservative watchdog groups to access the audio recordings of President Biden‘s interview with special counsel Robert Hur over his handling of classified documents.​

​

In a six-page filing, Justice Department lawyers disputed claims that they have run afoul of the Freedom of Information Act or other federal laws that would require them to release the recording.​

​

“CNN is not entitled to any documents or information exempt from disclosure under the FOIA. Defendants actions did not violate the FOI or any other statutory or regulatory provision,” wrote Brian M. Boyton, principal deputy assistant attorney general for the Justice Department’s Civil Division. ​

​

Mr. Boynton didn’t offer any legal reasoning in support of his statements.​

​

The Justice Department‘s response comes two days after a federal judge in the District of Columbia ordered it to expedite briefings in the case to determine if the audio footage should be released.​

​

CNN, the Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch each filed lawsuits that were later consolidated into a single lawsuit.​

​

Mr. Hur‘s interview with the president in October is one of the most hotly debated parts of his investigation into Mr. Biden‘s handling of classified documents.​

​

The report concluded there wasn’t enough evidence to charge Mr. Biden with criminal mishandling of records after he left the vice presidency. However, it depicts Mr. Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Mr. Hur said a jury would likely not convict the president of mishandling documents because of his faulty memory. ​

The report states that during Mr. Biden‘s interview with special counsel investigators, he couldn’t recall when his son Beau died or events from his time as vice president.​
