Seems like something is being hidden with the use now of Executive Privilege. Congress has requested info they are entitled to, that has been refused. They now have the obligation "to the American People" to hold those making such refusal accountable. It is the duty of that committee and its members to do that very action.

[@carolynwilken7421]

They are afraid of the Truth...

[@timeonly1401]

The Dems and those controlling/running Biden are afraid not of Biden's words themselves... but it could come from two quarters: (1) They're afraid that Biden will show/confirm Hur's report that Biden is mentally disabled (transcriptions often omit ums, ahs & long pauses, or unrecognizable verbal tics..; and, more seriously, (2) It's entirely possible that whoever transcribed the Hur-Biden interview and/or whoever leaked it to the news/public, MAY HAVE UNFAITHFULLY TRANSCRIBED (ie. **LIED** about) WHAT BIDEN ACTUALLY SAID. AG Garland's assertion of executive privelege is specious, and the vociferousness in denying Congressional oversight cmte the audio is that he KNOWS that both fears will come to reality: that Biden IS mentally messed up, AND that the transcript is not what Biden actually said. The former is a disaster politically. the latter would likely result in someone going to prison.

same gentleman who legit asked if Guam would capsize if too many people went to one side of the island

[@nybbleme]

If he can see Biden doing good he needs his eyes checked

[@alejandroalividaurri2310]

The American people want to hear the same recordings!!!

[@margaretstanton1823]

RELEASE THE RECORDINGS !!!!🇺🇸🧐😠🤨🇺🇸

[@joeygay7115]

If there is nothing to hide and did nothing wrong then release the tapes and prove it. It just that simple

[@MsMichele50]

They hid the J6 tapes too and the ppl still haven't seen hundreds of them

[@sippigrrrl]

@@MsMichele50And the J6 committee’s tapes have “disappeared” too. I’m guessing this will as well.

[@Jon-cb9dt]

These folks need be detained for Questioning.

[@mariomarinrealtor975]

As an American, I would like the hear the tapes now.

[@timothydudley3106]

It suggests something’s not right

[@jayflood5035]

I’m a taxpayer and we want the tapes

[@leslienewton2773]

Or we should defund IRS,CIA,FBI. No more illegal taxes for the criminals to use on invaders Dems let in and flew in.

[@07Hawkeye]

"it has been certified, WE KNOW what's in it!" ......... no ma'am, we the American People do NOT know what is in that tape nor do we know what is in a classified document that's being discussed, nor do we have a transcript to know what Biden said about any of this. GIVE US THE DAMN TAPE

[@wendymcclanahan8719]

Classified Documents, Multi, at least 2 'unsecured boxes' ... we know of. We also know, he was having VP aides in WH emailing classified documents to Hunter via 9 fake email accts with nine fake names. Espionage? The money to Zelinski is blackmail money -&- he's spending it on himself - bought 2 Mansions in Flordia & started 3 Company's there, so far - corrupt enough to put in his mommy inlaws & wife's names. Snopes Didn't look there, just in his name. Plus, he bought Another Mansion in Italy with a Villa. The Ukrainians have been saying 'he doesn't spend money for Ukrainians or even help them with it, since America started sending it. They say he lies, he is a Totalitarian President & does NOT Practice Democracy or Want it - he lies to America to get the money. You have to read news, from around the World. America's news doesn't tell us the real news. There are some very reliable sources out there, with feet on the ground, that tell the real deal too.

[@carolynwilken7421]

Yranscript is available. That's not the issue, anyone can alter the Type. With the Dems they know how to alter the audio as well. J6th was altered. Much paperwork from J6th has been deleted and destroyed. Per Benny Thompson, he was part of it.

[@bethnorris1361]

Tapes are UNCLASSIFIED... what's the holdup

[@sallya.rhodes8592]

The recording is a MUST!!!

[@philipneisess9588]

This Gorgian Democrat Hank Johnson was the guy who literally thought the whole island of Guam would "tip over and capsize" in the ocean with our base and more personnel on it 🤦‍♂️ he reminded me of his stupidity when he said here that it's a waste of tax payer money for the Whitehouse to send the recording to Congress. 🤦‍♂️

[@jimmybutler1379]

REPEAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW ! ; NOT EVEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA WAVE HIS RIGHT OF PRIVILEGE !...

[@laurelschultz2094]

He gave it away to his ghost writer it's now public property.

[@chrisbraswell8864]

According to them Trump has no Immunity but Biden does and his people get Immunity and it is deigned to Trump and his people, THIS MUST NOT STAND!!!!!

[@KNemo1999]

Absurd on its face, that phrase describes the democratic party perfectly .

[@kathybray2838]

It isn’t the “democratic” Party. It’s called the Democrat Party! And they are very far, about 180 degrees, from being “democratic “!

[@jimmybutler1379]

CORRUPTED PARTY ABOVE EVERY LAWS OF OUR USA NATION ?...

[@Lynn-cv1md]

WHY would you question it ❓ Just Release ALL TAPES

[@julieworley3167]

Just get it. Stop the bull.

[@tomthelen8069]

If one branch doesn’t trust another branch to be “transparent”, our country is definitely in big trouble? Transcript is certified by whom?

[@charisuiter2240]

Can't trust anyone nowadays. We need to see the actual video. What are they hiding?

[@robert9783]

My question exactly. It reminds me of the time when D's said they had 17 unnamed intelligence agencies validating the Steele dossier that Hillary manufactured and paid for.

[@marywoodard8716]

the public was TOLD what was in it let us see see see and hear

[@polina_piter]

And what are we supposed to believe on Election night?

[@marlenepreston5406]

I totally agree. As part of the American people, I demand to hear the tapes. I don't trust the democrats.

[@pattijohnson1525]

Exactly right.

[@leejones5810]

What are the chances he said "do you know who I work for"? , "do you know we have 50 different ways to get at you for doing this"

[@verdahenson8363]

You send in a Republican to take the files from them. End of story.
