Arrr! Biden's scallywags claim he be fit to rule the land! Show us the Hur tapes, scripts, and voices, ye scurvy dogs!

Arr, me hearties! The Special Counsel Hur's report be tellin' a tale o' President Biden's unfortunate handlin' o' secret papers, stirrin' a mighty storm last week. But Biden's crew be claimin' he ain't got a poor memory. Aye, let's see the proof, me lads and lasses!
Joe Biden has responded angrily to Special Counsel Robert Hur's conclusion that the president has "diminished faculties" and a "poor" and "hazy" memory. Hur's claims were the basis for not bringing charges against Biden for mishandling classified information. Biden insisted that his memory is fine and claimed that he remains the most qualified person to serve as president. Biden's surrogates criticized Hur's report as "unseemly" and an "abuse of power," while Biden himself criticized Hur as a "Republican counsel."To address the controversy surrounding Hur's evaluation of Biden's mental fitness, it is suggested that Biden should order Hur and Attorney General Merrick Garland to release all transcripts, recordings, and videos of Biden's interviews with the Special Counsel's team. Federal regulations governing special counsels require Hur to explain his decision in writing and grant Garland the authority to release or withhold any portion of the report. If Garland believed that Hur had mischaracterized Biden's interview answers, he could have redacted or provided his own commentary. Alternatively, President Biden could order the public release of the transcripts, recordings, and videos.
If the material is not released voluntarily, Congress may need to apply legislative pressure. Hur could be called to testify, and the focus would be on Biden's memory and performance during the interviews. Congress could also question why Hur did not subpoena or search the University of Delaware, where classified documents are believed to be stored. Releasing the transcripts, recordings, and videos would provide clarity on why Hur declined to prosecute and whether Biden's memory issues are genuine.
The release of this information would address concerns about the differential treatment of Biden and Trump's classified documents cases and demonstrate the transparency that Biden claims to value. Releasing the material would also allow the American people to judge Biden's mental fitness for themselves.
