The Audacity: New York Times Says That Hur Tapes Reveal What "Many Suspected" But Which Democrats -- Just Democrats, Not Their Media Enablers -- Denied
—Ace
Sure sure sure.
'Watch Me,' Biden Said. But Hearing Him in Hur Interview Is More Revealing. The former president's halting responses to questions by a special counsel show him exactly as a majority of Americans believed him to be -- and as Democrats repeatedly insisted he was not.
For much of his time in the White House, former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. offered a quick rebuttal to those raising concerns about his age: "Watch me," he said.
Yet, in the end, it may be the sound of Mr. Biden's own voice that proves what his aides worked furiously, and spent hundreds of millions of campaign dollars, to try to keep the public from seeing with its own eyes.
The five-hour-and-10-minute audio recording of a special counsel's interview with Mr. Biden on Oct. 8 and 9, 2023, shows a president struggling to recall dates and details, whose thoughts seem jumbled as he tries to recreate events that had occurred just a few years earlier.
The information in the audio recording, which Axios published on Saturday, is not new. The 258-page transcript of the interview of Mr. Biden by Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who investigated his handling of classified documents, was released in March 2024. His report set off a political firestorm in the midst of the president's re-election campaign.
But the sound of Mr. Biden's fragile voice and unsteady responses offers a revelation of its own. The Hur tapes reveal the president exactly as a majority of Americans believed him to be -- and as Democrats repeatedly insisted he was not.
In the days after Mr. Hur released his report, Democrats fanned out across the news media to vouch for the president, assuring the public of their eyewitness vantage point on his deep knowledge and sure-handed command of the nation and the world.
He was "sharp" and at the "top of his game," they said almost in unison. He was "focused, impressive, formidable and effective," as Senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia, one of the youngest leading Democrats, put it memorably. Biden administration officials declined to release the audio recording of his interview, asserting executive privilege.
But behind the closed doors of the White House's map room, where Mr. Biden answered Mr. Hur's patient queries over the beat of a ticking grandfather clock, the former president offers responses that trail off midsentence and jumbled thoughts that appear unrelated to the question. There are pauses as he struggles for details and extended digressions on the moldings in his home, the importance of Gutenberg's printing press and the storage of his prized Corvette.
In the audio recording, Mr. Hur's conclusion -- that a jury would see Mr. Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory" -- is not merely valid, it is irrefutable.
"Well, if it was 2013 -- when did I stop being vice president?" Mr. Biden wonders in a weakened voice, when asked by Mr. Hur to identify papers stored in the home he rented after he left office in 2017. "They didn't get to Wilmington until 2022 or something, right? Or 20-whatever. I don't know."
For Democrats, the audio recording's release puts party leaders in the uncomfortable position of having to reconcile the man heard in Mr. Hur's interview with the forceful president they described in response to their voters' insistent questions.
For months after the election, Democrats hoped to avoid the questions of what they knew and when about Mr. Biden's fitness to serve a second term. Hearing the recording may further a kind of truth-and-reconciliation moment for a party that has only begun to let go of its denials.
It does not take much for Mr. Hur to uncover what Democrats had tried so hard to conceal.
At first, Mr. Biden sounds fairly capable. He describes the binders packed with classified and unclassified information that he read through during his eight years as vice president. And he discusses his goals after leaving that office in 2017, including his desire to remain involved with "consequential" foreign policy matters and cancer research.
Then, about an hour into the recording, Mr. Biden's answers take a sharp turn.
A simple question about the documents that were stored at the Naval Observatory elicits an 11-minute response.
It begins with a young Mr. Biden winning an international tort competition in law school, winds through an early legal case involving a 23-year-old man who lost part of his penis in an oil-refinery accident and concludes with Mr. Biden winning a seat on the New Castle, Del., County Council in 1970.
Again and again, Mr. Biden answers the prosecutor not as someone under federal investigation but as an aging politician recounting his life story for posterity.
Like many people as they age, Mr. Biden remains himself. He cracks jokes about his wife looking hot in a bikini and about how he is still a "young man." He displays the flashes of ego and self-aggrandizement that have been staples of his political career, boasting about "fundamentally changing" the nation's strategic position in the Indo-Pacific. And he luxuriates in his own long-winded stories about his political influence, describing being handed an archer's bow by the leader of Mongolia and nonchalantly shooting a bull's-eye.
But now, the details elude him.
Mr. Biden's lawyers step in to supply the date when his son Beau died -- an event that devastated the former president and defined his final years in public life. They remind Mr. Biden of the year that he left the vice president's office and Donald J. Trump was first inaugurated as president.
