Democrats Don't Mean To Violate The Law

[GURPS]

The fact that Axios released the audio from the Biden-Hur interview suggests something disturbing​

The big news from yesterday and today is that the tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Joe Biden about unsecured classified documents in Biden’s garage became public. They showed a man who was obviously in the grips of senile dementia and who therefore had no business running anything, let alone the world’s most powerful country, one armed with nuclear weapons.

Since I already knew in 2020 that Biden was suffering from dementia, a progressive condition—and then I’d watched it progress for the next four years—the Hur tapes affirmed what I already knew. They weren’t news, indeed, to any conservatives. What has been newsworthy is watching the media try to explain away their failure to report on Biden’s mental state, going so far as to actively deny what anyone with a functioning brain could see.

Instead of handcuffs, Biden was subject to gentle questioning by Special Counsel Hur. In February 2024, Hur released his report about Biden’s crimes. Ultimately, Hur pretty much pulled a James “8647” Comey. As you may recall, in July 2016, Comey gave a long press conference during which he detailed chapter and verse of Hillary Clinton intentionally bypassing national security protocols to run all of her emails while Secretary of State through an unsecured server in her bathroom. Then, he essentially added that she didn’t mean to do anything wrong, so no sane prosecutor would indict her...and Hillary walked.

Hur’s version was a little different. After providing chapter and verse of Senator and Vice President Biden whisking secured documents out of the White House and the Senate, and then storing them in his unsecured garage, Hur had this to say about President Biden:

We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Eiden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory. Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him—by then former president well into his eighties—of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.

Hillary didn’t mean to violate the law, and Biden couldn’t remember violating the law, so both got a pass.

Later, even the media, including—and this is important—Axios had to admit that the transcripts revealed Biden’s confusion. But that didn’t stop them from denying the claim that Biden had dementia and shouldn’t have been anywhere near the Oval Office.

Unsurprisingly, the Biden White House refused to release the Hur audio transcript. The last official word from the Trump White House, a mere nine days ago, was that it was considering releasing the audio.

But why were and who leaked the tapes to Axios of all groups?
