First was that it wasn\u2019t Hur\u2019s job to determine if Biden is mentally competent. (He\u2019s not), and second that he said that Biden was not mentally competent, which should have triggered his immediate removal from office. When Hur testified in front of Congress, it was noted that he had recorded the interviews with Dementia Joe. Now that Congress wants to hear the tapes, the Biden Maladministration is trying to use Executive Privilege to block the release. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-asserts-executive-privilege-classified-documents-probe-recordings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Here are some of the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/executive\/white-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The White House<\/a> asserted executive privilege over audio and video recordings related to Special Counsel Robert Hur&#8217;s interviews with President Biden. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;I write to inform you that the President has asserted executive privilege over the requested audio recordings and is making a protective assertion of privilege over any remaining materials responsive to the subpoenas that have not already been produced,&#8221; Associate Attorney General Carlos Uriarte wrote in a letter Thursday to Reps.

To begin with, Robert Hur was not acting as a member of Biden\u2019s staff and advising Biden about anything. It was a criminal investigation into the actions of Joe Biden before he was appointed president* with an eye towards his violations of the Espionage Act. As I mentioned above, Hur basically declared Biden mentally incompetent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone from whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt.
