On May 16, two House committees voted to subpoena AG Merrick Garland for the audio recordings of Special Counsel Hur’s interview with Joe Biden. Merrick Garland, who is arguably the dirtiest AG in American history, REFUSED to comply with the subpoenas and hand over the tapes. Mr. Hur cleared Joe Biden of criminal wrongdoing in the classified documents case and cited his memory as an excuse for the handling of the sensitive documents, characterizing the head of the Biden crime family as an “elderly man with a poor memory.”

In a letter to Joe Biden, AG Garland argued that Mr Hur’s interviews with Joe Biden and his ghostwriter “fall within the scope of executive privilege,” as he claimed executive privilege.

According to The Hill– Republicans have fumed over Garland’s decision not to turn over the audio of Biden’s interview after the DOJ shared the transcript with the House Oversight and Judiciary committees.

“The president has waived any executive privilege over these audio recordings by releasing a transcript of the entire interview to the public,” House Oversight and Accountability Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said during a House Rules Committee meeting Tuesday.

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), a former attorney, absolutely destroyed the decrepit and always nasty Democrat Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who lied to the committee about another case to justify keeping the recordings of the interview between Mr. Hur and Joe Biden hidden from the public.

A 57-page memo from the department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), obtained by The Hill, lays out the case for Garland’s refusal to turn over the audio of Biden’s conversation with special counsel Robert Hur. The GOP already has a transcript of the interview.

“For nearly seven decades and across presidential administrations of both parties, the Executive Branch has taken the position that the criminal contempt of Congress statute … does not apply to Executive Branch officials who do not comply with a congressional subpoena based on a presidential assertion of executive privilege,” according to the memo.

“Consistent with this longstanding position, no U.S. Attorney has pursued criminal contempt charges against an Executive Branch official asserting the President’s claim of executive privilege.”
