During special counsel Robert Hur’s hearing before the House, we saw Democrats rip into Hur because they were angry about how he characterized President Joe Biden.

We previously reported that there are audio files of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.
This is why a portion of the write-up about the Hur transcript in the Washington Post was so interesting. The paper noted that Biden would trail off, telling stories and making noises.
From the Washington Post:
At times during the interview, according to the transcript, the president made noises like a car.
“By the way, you know how it works?” Biden asked Hur. “It’s really cool.”
Hur remarked, “Sir, I’d love — I would love, love to hear much more about this, but I do have a few more questions to get through.”
“You step your foot on the accelerator all the way down until it gets about six, seven grand,” Biden continued. “Then all the sudden it will say ‘launch.’ All you do is take your foot off the brake.”
The transcript then indicates “(Makes car sound)” as well as “(Laughter).”
Now imagine those audio files being released.
It would be bedlem.
It also may explain Hur’s rationale.
Special Counsel Hur defends his assessment of Biden’s memory in his report:
“The evidence and the president himself put his memory squarely at issue…my assessment in the report about the relevance of the president’s memory was necessary and accurate and fair.” pic.twitter.com/qZ36KOWeuh

There was another little caveat as well to Hur’s testimony, which means an incoming Republican administration could charge him.
