The transcripts given to Congress have been altered and we only have the word of the Biden administration that these alterations were only "very minor" in nature. Yeah ... RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
Robert Hur Transcript Was Mostly Accurate With Some 'Minor' Fixes

Here's something we'd almost forgotten about. As we reported on May 16, the House Judiciary GOP voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for not turning over audio recordings of Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation of President Joe Biden for willfully retaining classified documents. (Speaking of no one is above the law.)
The White House has claimed executive privilege over the audio recordings of Hur's interviews with Biden. We do have the transcripts, but we have to believe the White House has reasons for wanting to keep the recordings secret, what with Biden going off on tangents on how hot Dr. Jill Biden looks in a bikini and making car noises.
Kyle Becker reports that a court filing showed that the White House altered the transcript resulting in only very "minor differences." They took out all the "uh"s and "um"s and repeated "I"s and "and"s. That must be Biden's stutter acting up again. This wouldn't be the first time the White House had cleaned up a transcript of one of Biden's speeches. As we reported last month, the White House made nine corrections to Biden's speech to the NAACP, such as when he said Barack Obama sent him to Detroit to fix the pandemic, or when he made reference to the January 6 "erectionists."
Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) ~ BREAKING: 🚨
The White House has admitted in federal court that it *ALTERED* the transcript of President Joe Biden's testimony to the Special Counsel in order for him to appear less incompetent, according to @GOPoversight.
Release the tapes!
Yes, release the tapes! We know holding Garland in contempt of Congress means nothing.
Yeah ... if your alterations are only "very minor," then release the audio tapes. You have nothing whatsoever to lose, right?!
Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) ~ The office of the presidency is not a "private" matter. The American people have a right to know and to assess the credibility of the sitting President Joe Biden in a criminal investigation that was ultimately dropped under suspect pretenses.
Joe Biden is running for four more years. Americans need to know if he is 'non compos mentis' for the job.
Mark HK (@mlehmhk) ~ Imagine how bad the audio must be, for them to fight tooth and nail like this to keep it from being released.
Michael (@michael_esq1) ~ Sounds like a crime and election interference.
