Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fight during House hearing

The IbanezerScrooge said:

Dude. We read the transcripts. The SC's characterization of Biden was a politically motivated fantasy. They didn't fool anyone. It's already been presented to the American people. There's is nothing there. That's why they want to be able to take the audio and video and create their own cuts to support that false narrative. Get off it.

Let's see the tape to confirm that.

Besides, Biden can't claim privilege on the special counsel evidence against him.

Damaging in what way? They have ALL of the information and transcripts. They have the report made from the interviews by their hand-picked special council. They have his testimony in front of the committee. If there were anything RELAVENT that was damaging, it's already been presented. So, what do they want with the actual recordings themselves?

They want to use them to smear the president. They want to be able to take clips and use them to further the MAGA narrative of a "president in mental decline" which is purely a political hit job and has nothing to do with what the committee claims it's investigating that it still hasn't brought impeachment charges for. It's disgusting and pathetic. Comer is a hack. Gym Jordan is a hypocrite (contempt of congress? pfft.). MTG is a disgusting human being. And ALL of them, along with most of the Republican party and the RNC are beholden to a criminal whom they worship like the messiah along with a third of the country.

Since they have all that why not release the recordings? Something convinced them that Biden was a sympathetic figure who was forgetful and had a bad memory.
How can Republicans use something to smear Biden if it’s not damaging?

Do we have a president who is so deteriorated cognitively that playing a recording of an interview is considered a smear and a political hit job? I wouldn’t want someone like that running the country, would you?

They have everything they need to confirm that. They failed. Otherwise they would impeach him.

Watch the debates.

Quite frankly they weren't because they were putting forth the effort not to stoop...

Hazelelponi said:

It's an effort I've personally been approving because I think it's important not to devolve our political atmosphere.

That's changing though, I'm about to say this is war and what's good for the goose is good for the gander, but I would really rather have a country when we are done instead.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!! That's rich!! Republicans haven't had that much integrity in decades.

The IbanezerScrooge said:

Because they want to misuse them I already said that. We've already seen them do it with Hunter's testimony. We saw them do it with Archer's testimony. The Republicans are not looking for truth. They are looking for ad content.

We'll see at the debates. Do YOU think your guy will show?

Regarding the recordings, it's obvious why Republicans are demanding them:


“The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal — to chop them up, distort them and use them for partisan political purposes,” the White House counsel Edward N. Siskel wrote in a letter to Republican committee chairmen on Thursday. He also referred to Mr. Trump’s efforts to pressure department officials when he was president.

“Demanding such sensitive and constitutionally protected law enforcement materials from the executive branch because you want to manipulate them for potential political gain is inappropriate,” he added.

Biden Asserts Executive Privilege Over Recording of Special Counsel Interview

The move came as two House committees voted along party lines to recommend holding Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in contempt over his refusal to turn over audio of the conversations.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez fight during House hearing

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., butted heads at a House Oversight Committee meeting Thursday night.

www.usatoday.com

There is no legitimate reason why the audio tapes continue to be withheld. The White House released the transcripts., let's see if the transcripts are accurate. What's the big deal? Democrats have used tricky tactics before, I wish they had not in the past. But the reality is that sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. MTG did get the response from AOC she wanted in order to dispense with the normal rules of debate and amendments before the Democrats figured what was going on.

I watched the entire (recorded) hearing on C-SPAN.
MTG was out of order from the very start. Crosstalking while other Committee members had the floor.
Committee Chair Comer refused to take action early to shut her down. She kept going with Cortez rightly calling her our for insulting another member of the Committee. Comer claimed he did not hear the comments and at one point, reminded everyone that he wears hearing aides.

What an absolute joke of a Committee.
