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.QuoteBiden 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?
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?"
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.
aka the left's previous Hitlers.The other day I saw a lefty claim that if a repub had to be in charge, he'd rather it be W. My first thought was... Since you called him Hitler, too, does that mean that you don't really have a problem with Hitler as long as it's the Hitler that you get to choose?
"The US Appeals Court for DC has DENIED Joe Biden’s emergency request to block the release of his FIVE HOUR interview with Special Counsel Hur in 2023," Nick Sortor posted late Monday night, finally giving the public a good, hard look at Biden's fitness."In a 2-1 decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit rejected Biden's attempt to stop the Heritage Foundation from getting the material," CBS News reported through clenched teeth Tuesday morning.The majority wrote, "We conclude that Biden has not shown a likelihood that the requested materials must be withheld from disclosure."...The recordings "gained interest from the Heritage Foundation several years later following an investigation by former special counsel Robert Hur into Biden's handling of sensitive government records after his vice presidency," as CBS put it. You know, the exact same thing that the Biden cabal would later dispatch armed FBI agents to Mar-a-Lago for.The White House was doing a pinky-swear investigation of itself because of that time when the former Obama veep accidentally left boxes and boxes of classified docs in his garage with his Corvette. At first, Biden was prompted to tell people that his garage is a secure location because, unlike the Trump compound on many well-guarded acres at Mar-a-Lago, Biden's garage door has one of those twisty lock handles on it.
