Here's the supposedly full audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur interviewing President Joe Biden.
The segment released last night was cherry-picked to reflect a narrative that supports the Hur/DOJ's convenient conclusion that Biden was guilty but unfit for trial due to his cognitive deficits.
The full audio, by contrast, shows Biden in full command of the facts when it suited him but growing wary and vague and filibustering when he perceived that the prosecutors were building a trap. And in case he didn't detect it, his lawyer Bob Bauer would interrupt to alert him. Merrick Garland and Robert Hur did not want to charge the sitting president, obviously, but they had too much incriminating evidence, such as classified material all over his home and office including from his days as senator, interviews his former aide Kathy Chung and a recorded conversation with his ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, in February 2017, in which Biden said that he had “just found all the classified stuff downstairs” in the basement of his Virginia home.
Hur's ingenious excuse leveraging Biden's cognitive issues got everyone off the hook.
There is much more to this story than the Biden-was-senile cover up. More importantly, Biden was corrupt -- and that is still being covered up.
Why? My guess is it's because the cover-up artists still work in the DOJ and they are now covering up their cover up under the noses of Trump's appointees.

Biden after Biden has just recounted in excruciating detail the layout of his former vice presidential residence and one of his homes. But at the one hour mark, just as prosecutors are about to "circle back" to something Biden has said earlier, his lawyer Bob Bauer interrupts to say they need a five minute break, even though Biden says he's fine to continue.
