As GOP demands Biden/Hur audio, James Comer gives away the game
...In theory, that ended the story. In practice, however, there was one additional element that Republicans decided to pursue: the audio recording of the incumbent presidents Q&A with investigators.
The Biden administration has declined GOP lawmakers requests for the tape, and theres no great mystery as to why: Officials realize that Republicans are simply looking for a political toy they can play with ahead of Election Day 2024. Former Republican Rep. Ken Buck admitted as much this week, explaining that Congress already has the transcript and relevant information, adding that his former GOP colleagues are just looking for something for political purposes.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comers latest fundraising appeal reads in part, Biden and his advisors are terrified that I will release the recordings, forcing the media and Democrats to answer for the dismal decline of Bidens mental state. The Kentucky Republican added that audio recording could be the final blow to Biden with swing voters across the country.
In other words, the White Houses counsels office accused Comer and his colleagues of wanting to use Bidens interview for partisan political purposes, after which Comer put in writing that hes focused on using the audio recording to target swing voters.

is mind-boggling...almost from the day the House flipped in 2022, the MAGA cretins let it be known revenge at the behest of Donald Trump was the name of the game...paint Joe Biden with the same ethically/morally corrupt brush as their MAGA god...dirty up Joe so Trump's filth pales in comparison...and yet, those never-ending Jordan/Comer/Greene/Gaetz/Gosar bogus committee investigations have uncovered nothing...
