WTAF?! Jonathan Turley DECIMATES DOJ’s Legal Claim About Why They Can Withhold Biden/Hur Tapes (Thread) – Twitchy

Just days after a Kangaroo Court convicted Trump of 34 charges Alvin Bragg’s office magically FOUND after scouring the law books (rewrote, tweaked, whatever), Biden’s DOJ has come up with a ‘legally absurd’ reason to withhold the Biden/Hur tapes. You know, the tapes where Hur interviewed Biden and determined he was far too out of it mentally to stand trial?

Yeah, they don’t want those tapes making it out.

Probably because they were more interested in released the transcript they altered to make Biden sound less like a doofus.

Good times.

Jonathan Turley is NOT impressed.

Remember President Biden withholding the audio tapes (but not the transcript) of his interview with Special Counsel Hur as the president “who cannot be heard”? Well, it just got even wackier with the assertion of a new type of “Deepfake privilege”… https://t.co/wl3URFxxks

Deepfake privilege.

Dafuq?

…DOJ is claiming the right to withhold audio (and presumably video) records to prevent “deepfake” and AI manipulation of tapes by “malicious actors.” It is an argument that would effectively blow away all existing limits on the use of the privilege…

Wait, so if they can keep us from hearing recorded audio or video from a president, anyone could be calling the shots.

Obama, we see you.

…The filing is logically and legally absurd. It is also dangerous. The argument would allow staff to completely control any public or, more importantly, congressional review of his actual speech and discourse.
