What's He Got to Hide? Joe Biden Sues the DOJ to Keep Damaging Audio Hidden

For years, Democrats and their allies in the media swore Joe Biden was sharp as a tack, fully capable, and absolutely fine. Then came the June 2024 debate, and that story collapsed in real time before millions of viewers. The fallout was so bad that Biden's own party forced him off the ticket. He dropped out, spent the rest of his term below the radar, and has spent his post-presidency trying to rehabilitate his image. Now, that effort has taken a new and telling turn.
Biden filed a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to block the Justice Department from releasing roughly 70 hours of audio recordings and transcripts of interviews he gave to ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer for his 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose. Those recordings became central to Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified documents, which found that Biden stored sensitive materials at unsecured locations, even in the garage of his Delaware home.
Hur's February 2024 report concluded that Biden had "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency," but declined to prosecute him, citing the fact that he would appear to jurors as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
...
In May 2025, partial audio from Biden's interview with Hur was released, and it was rough. Awkward pauses. Jumbled recall. Biden struggling to sequence basic events. And in the moment that defined the release, Biden infamously could not remember when his own son Beau died.
Now Biden's legal team is racing to make sure you never hear the rest of it.
Biden and his attorneys have long maintained that the files are exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
The suit comes after three separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuits were previously filed attempting to unseal them.
In one suit involving the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, attorneys for the Justice Department told a federal judge earlier this month they planned to release the files, with redactions, to both the committee and the Heritage Foundation on June 15 barring a ruling on the issue.
Mr. Biden asserted executive privilege over the recordings in 2024 after House Republicans attempted to access them.
LIEden's political career is over. Why suppress this? What would it reveal that isn't already largely known?

Something "Pound You in the Ass" Prison-worthy for the larger #BidenCrimeFamily, probably. It's not like POTATUS is likely to note a difference in the room he's being warehoused in, now that he's no longer useful...

It's not what he's got to hide, it's what the cabal around him is hiding.
If he was that bad in 2024 it will naturally lead to questions such as, "Was he able to legally sign those pardons in 2026?"

:hi5: The typo aside, good point! If in 2017 (when he was interviewed) LIEden lacked the continuous mental capacity to sustain the interviews, just about every EO, bill-signing, and pardon LIEden did would be open to court challenge. A Bush-Romney-grade R probably would not "go there". Trump might.
