Law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley has analyzed newly released audio of former President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, revealing a troubling narrative of his mental decline and a double standard within the Washington establishment.
The interview, conducted in October 2023, has been a subject of intense public interest, especially as Biden campaigned for a second term. Turley argues that the audio not only undermines Biden’s credibility but also exposes a systemic bias in the media and bureaucracy, which have allegedly covered up his cognitive impairments despite clear evidence in the tapes. The released audio is said to demonstrate Biden’s memory lapses and the apparent negligence in handling classified documents, which could have led to federal crimes.
Turley also highlights the contrasting treatment of former President Donald Trump, who faced charges for similar actions, suggesting a divided standard of justice. The article further discusses the reaction of Biden’s press team, including former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and current Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who were accused of downplaying his cognitive decline.
Additionally, it explores the media’s delayed response to these allegations, with figures like CNN’s Jake Tapper dismissing concerns about Biden’s mental state until the debate showed the public the truth. The piece concludes with a critique of the Washington establishment’s complicity in the cover-up, likening it to a political racketeering enterprise.
