The Biden-Harris administration has once again showcased its flair for theatricality, this time with a side of selective memory. In a plot twist that would make even the most seasoned conspiracy theorist smirk, the Department of Justice has unearthed “missing” audio recordings of President Biden as he chatted with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer. This news comes hot on the heels of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report, which seemed to suggest that Biden isn’t exactly firing on all cylinders. But of course, the administration responded with a classic game of “Who, me?”
When all hope seemed lost and “poor Joe” was left to defend his muddled remarks, the Justice Department managed to find six electronic files containing 117 pages of transcripts of conversations nobody seems to remember losing in the first place. Was the DOJ digging through the couch cushions of the Biden White House? The timing is perfect for a bit of housekeeping after months of back-and-forth denying they even existed. A true “Eureka!” moment for a beleaguered administration.
🚨Everything about this is highly suspicious.🚨
For months, we have been in court seeking records that Hur relied upon in making the statements in his report where he raised concerns about President Biden’s mental acuity. (1/4) https://t.co/g6Cx9kRYjA

Prior to this revelation, DOJ officials had claimed the transcripts were as elusive as a unicorn in a corn maze, only to flip the script faster than a politician in a debate when they suddenly produced them. They had previously hinted that transcribing 70 hours of candid discussions was akin to assembling IKEA furniture without instructions—an overwhelming task that might as well be left for another day. But now, like a magician revealing his secrets, they suddenly have policy across the board that might require a bit of scrutiny.
And let’s not forget the internal coaching session that must have taken place. Democratic officials were reportedly scrambling to persuade Hur to soften his take on Biden’s cognitive abilities. It appears “lack of recall” was an official way of saying, “He may not remember what he had for breakfast, but trust us, he knows how to run a country.” A classic move to protect their golden goose or simply a subtle nod to the wisdom of age—pick your favorite spin.
The inevitable snark that follows this newly surfaced evidence is as refreshing as a cool drink on a hot day. With Biden’s candidacy off the table for 2024, the Democratic party seems poised to take every opportunity to throw him under the proverbial bus. Gone are the days of protecting their poster boy; now, the goal is to distance themselves from the crumbling image of a president struggling to remain relevant. After all, there’s nothing like a bit of crisis management in the age of transparency—except this time, they brought the wrong kind of transparency.
As more “lost” evidence surfaces, one can only wonder what other skeletons might tumble out of the Biden closet. The Democrats are certainly not shy about kicking their own to the curb when necessary, and as this administration continues to rehash old tapes, it seems they are determined to let the chips fall where they may. If nothing else, it will make for an entertaining spectacle in the coming months.
