July 24 will be the 50th anniversary of the day SCOTUS rejected President Nixon's claim of executive privilege as an excuse for not handing over tapes to Congressional investigators that he recorded in the Oval Office . He had previously made available redacted transcripts . But the investigators wanted to hear the tapes. He surrendered the tapes. 16 days later he resigned after the tapes revealed his involvement in the Watergate cover up .
Fast forward to today .
President Quid Pro Joe is refusing to hand over tapes of his interviews with Special Council Robert Hur which were done while Hur investigated Joe's stealing classified documents while he was a Senator. These documents were found at various locations that included his garage. He has already given Congressional investigators redacted transcripts of the tapes. Like 50 years ago ;the investigators want to hear the original tapes . Like 50 years ago he is claiming executive privilege .
It is important for them to hear the originals because Hur argued when he decided to not charge Quid ;even as Trump has been indicted for documents he retained ;because Quid is a feeble old man plagued with memory loss ;and no reasonable jury would convict him (which is not Hur's place to determine anyway).
The transcripts do not give evidence to this claim. The investigators would need to hear them to determine if Quid is functioning in a mentally diminished state .
Besides Congress there are a slew of legal and news organizations who have sued under FOIA to get access to the tapes. These include major news organizations of the compliant press .
The White House has refused to date to comply with a dozen FOIA requests and Congressional subpoenas arguing that the transcripts are already public. The also added in an absurd argument that if they made the tapes public there was a chance someone could use them as AI generated "deep fakes" . Cross referencing them with the transcripts should solve that problem IF the transcripts are truthful reproductions .
The White House is so fearful of the tapes being released that they are willing to subject the Attorney General to contempt of Congress charges.
Turns out there is good reason to suspect altering of the transcripts . The White House already admitted to that .

Oversight Project on X: "🚨WHITE HOUSE ADMITS THEY DOCTORED BIDEN’S CRIMINAL TRANSCRIPT🚨 After being forced into Federal court by us, the White House admits they altered evidence to make Biden appear less incompetent This case has been blown wide open https://t.co/5xtIsPcVTV" / X (https://x.com/OversightPR/status/1796744929634287809)
This is not the first time they have lied about the interviews.
The compliant press argued that Quid was angry that Hur quizzed him about the date of Beau Biden's death . His allies went on the offensive. Jill Biden put out fund raiser based on the false narrative.
First lady asks if son’s death was used for political points – NBC New York (https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/first-lady-questions-whether-special-counsel-referenced-sons-death-to-score-political-points/5126300/#:~:text=son%20Beau%20died.-,%E2%80%9DWe%20should%20give%20everyone%20grace%2C %20and%20I%20can%27t,you%20measure%20it%20in%20gri ef.%22)
Yes I said false narrative because Hur did not bring up Beau Biden. Quid did (thanks the random act of journalism from NBC)
Biden attacked Hur for asking him when Beau died. That didn't happen, sources say. (nbcnews.com) (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/biden-attacked-hur-asking-beau-died-didnt-happen-sources-say-rcna138709)
Invoking Beau Biden's death ;and family tragedy is a continuous fall back tool of Quid.
“How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden told reporters in an impromptu White House press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”
But Hur never asked that question, according to two people familiar with Hur’s five-hour interview with the president over two days last October. It was the president, not Hur or his team, who first introduced Beau Biden’s death, they said.
Biden raised his son’s death after being asked about his workflow at a Virginia rental home from 2016 to 2018, the sources said, when a ghost writer was helping him write a memoir about losing Beau to brain cancer in 2015. Investigators had a 2017 recording showing that Biden had told the ghost writer he had found “classified stuff” in that home, the report says.
Biden began trying to recall that period by discussing what else was happening in his life, and it was at that point in the interview that he appeared confused about when Beau died, the sources said. Biden got the date — May 30 — correct, but not the year.
The only way for Quid to disprove Hur's contention that Quid suffered serious mental lapses would be for Quid to release the tapes in full.
His only reason for not doing so is because he is hiding the truth.
