Biden lawyer avoids answering on release of special counsel interview transcripts
President Biden’s Attorney Refuses to Release Transcripts of Interviews with Special Counsel
President Joe Biden’s personal attorney, Bob Bauer, is facing scrutiny over his refusal to disclose the transcripts of the president’s interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur. These interviews have sparked concerns about Biden’s mental sharpness.
In a scathing report released last week, Hur cited Biden’s ”poor memory” as the reason for not pursuing charges against the president for mishandling classified documents.
During an appearance on CBS News’s Face the Nation, Bauer confirmed the existence of the transcripts but remained tight-lipped about releasing them.
“Yes, there are transcripts, and as you heard [White House Counsel spokesman] Ian Sams, in the press briefing room, say, you know, they’re discussions underway because it’s a classified document about what could or whether will be or when released. I can’t add anything to that today,” Bauer said.
When asked directly if he supports releasing the transcripts, Bauer evaded the question, emphasizing that it is a decision that must be made within the government due to the classified nature of the document.
“It’s really a decision that has to take place within the government. It’s a classified document,” Bauer stated.
Despite further pressure, Bauer continued to dodge the question, deferring to those responsible for handling the matter.
“Again, there’s a process underway. I’m not a specialist in that process. And so I really have to defer to those who have to work through those issues,” he explained.
Bauer also criticized Hur’s handling of the interviews, accusing him of cherry-picking Biden’s responses in a misleading manner.
“He engaged, he answered the questions, and the special counsel’s decision to cherry-pick, in a very misleading way, some of the references that you’re discussing here is an example of what I call a really shabby work product and completely out of bounds for a prosecutor,” Bauer argued.
As the debate over the release of these transcripts continues, many are left wondering what they may reveal about President Biden’s mental acuity.

Why is it important for the transcripts of President Biden’s interviews to be released to the public?
Him in the ongoing investigation into possible corruption involving his son, Hunter Biden. The decision not to release the transcripts only adds to the growing doubts and suspicions surrounding the president’s cognitive abilities.
The importance of transparency and accountability in government cannot be understated. The American people deserve to know the truth about their elected officials, especially when it comes to the president of the United States. The refusal to release the transcripts raises serious questions about what may be hidden within them and why they are being kept under wraps.
While it is understandable that certain information may need to be protected for national security reasons, the interviews in question are not classified and should be made available to the public. Given the concerns regarding President Biden’s mental sharpness, it is crucial that the American people are able to assess for themselves the extent of his cognitive abilities.
Furthermore, the decision not to release the transcripts sets a dangerous precedent for future administrations. If this administration can withhold information from the public, what will stop others from doing the same? Transparency is a cornerstone of democracy and should always be a priority for those in positions of power.
The American people have a right to be informed about the president’s mental state and any potential impact it may have on his ability to effectively govern. By refusing to release the transcripts, President Biden’s attorney is undermining this right and eroding trust in the administration.
Additionally, the lack of transparency surrounding these interviews raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest. Biden’s personal attorney represents his interests, which may create a conflict when it comes to revealing information that could be damaging to the president. The American people need assurance that their president is being held accountable and that decisions are being made in the best interest of the country, not for personal gain or protection.
In conclusion, the refusal to release the transcripts of President Biden’s interviews with Special Counsel Robert Hur is deeply concerning. It highlights a lack of transparency and accountability that is essential for the functioning of a democracy. The American people deserve to have all the facts and information necessary to make informed decisions about their leaders. The withholding of these transcripts only fuels suspicions and undermines trust in the administration. It is our hope that President Biden’s attorney reconsiders his stance and prioritizes transparency and accountability moving forward.
