Zwonitizer Tapes Demonstrate Biden's Serious Cognitive Decline; Massive Amount of NSA/CIA Redactions Show Biden Sharing Tons of Classified Information with a Civilian

I don't think the tapes have been released yet to the public, but the Oversight Project has heard them and is releasing information about them.

Joe Biden appeared confused, struggled to remember facts and lost his train of thought during a series of meandering conversations with his ghostwriter roughly four years before he was elected president.
The former commander-in-chief also repeatedly made reference to retaining classified information in the discussions with his biographer Mark Zwonitzer, according to newly-released audio tapes.
The heavily-redacted recordings of Biden working on his 2017 memoir with Zwonitzer were released Monday to the House Judiciary Committee and the conservative Oversight Project nonprofit after a two-year-long court battle.
"We now know what has been long assumed: the autopen scandal extends far back beyond just when Joe Biden 'ran' for president from his basement," Oversight Project President Mike Howell said in a statement.
"These tapes have so many pauses and 'ums' that it sounds like Biden is buffering like a dial-up Internet connection," Howell added.
In one part of an interview with Zwonitzer, Biden says, "Alright -- what was I going to ask you? Something else... Uh... um. Oh gosh. I can't think of anything else."
In another moment, Biden asks his ghostwriter to "Hang on a second," while he apparently studies his notes. "Um ... it's confusing me," the former president later says.
...
According the Oversight Project, the recordings prove "Biden was already demonstrating significant cognitive decline" when he began meeting with Zwonitzer -- just a few months after leaving the Obama administration -- for the 2017 book, "Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose."
"In the sections of the audio tapes that were not redacted, Biden references his confused state of mind on many days," the group said in a statement. "As we know occurred during his Presidency, Biden was clearly experiencing good days and bad days as far back as 2017."
During Zwonitzer interviews with Biden the former president read "nearly verbatim" from notebooks that contained sensitive national security and foreign policy, according to Hur's 2024 report on the classified documents investigation.
"So this was, I early on, um, in '09 I just found all the classified stuff downstairs," Biden is heard telling Zwonitzer in one snippet from the roughly 70 hours of recordings.
"Some of this may be classified so be careful with it," the 46th president warns his ghostwriter at one point. "I'm not sure ... It's not marked classified but --"
On the tapes, Biden could be heard discovering classified material in real time as he leafed through papers with Zwonitzer nearby.
"The next thing I have here is, um, this is classified ..." Biden says in another snippet.
The former president also described potentially classified White House meetings with Zwonitzer, according to CBS News, which first-reviewed the tapes, including "a big meeting with the CIA and everyone," "a big meeting down in the Situation Room," and "a long meeting where DOD brief ... POTUS."

In an Oct. 10, 2016, recording, Biden brags that he retained notes without anyone being aware.
"I have extensive notes over this period of time... They didn't know I have this," he said, according to the outlet.

Hur found that Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials" after leaving the vice presidency but refused to charge the then sitting president because he would "likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."
The Oversight Project argued that the extent of Biden's disclosure of classified information is "much more egregious than previously disclosed" by Hur.
"At several points in the tapes, Biden references the information he is reviewing is likely classified, which is followed by significant audio redactions for classified information," the group said in a statement. "This was not just once or twice, these classified redactions cover significant portions of the audio files released.
"The listener shouldn't overlook the audio redactions because those redactions are intended to cover the disclosure of classified information."

Indeed, the huge amounts of the tapes that have been redacted for national security reasons shows just how wilful Biden's exposure of classified information really was.

Pages of one of the interviews were also blacked out that was between Zwonitzer and an "unidentified male speaker," and other portions were blacked out because of the National Security Act. Other information was blacked out by the CIA.
Audio recordings:
The Oversight Project released hours of audio recordings, which were filled with breaks that highlighted the sharing of classified information. Biden also acknowledged that he had documents still in his possession that the White House had not been aware of.
The audio recordings also highlighted the former president's memory lapses, where he failed to recall the names of some of his associates and got days confused, showing that Biden's memory issues were prevalent before he even became president.
One example occurred in April 2017, where Biden could not remember the name of one of his economic advisors, Alan Krueger.
"I'll think of his name," Biden said. "I should write the names down because I keep forgetting them."
Oversight Project:
The Oversight Project highlighted that the extent of Biden's sharing of classified information was far greater than Hur previously indicated, and that multiple times in the tapes and transcripts, Biden references the information he is reviewing is likely classified, which is followed by audio redactions.
"The listener shouldn't overlook the audio redactions because those redactions are intended to cover the disclosure of classified information," the Oversight Project wrote in a news release. "The silence of the redactions loudly demonstrates that Biden knowingly and willfully disclosed classified information to his ghostwriter."

52 I think the key point that gets lost in the quoted portions above is that these were classified files in 2016, before Biden became president.

This isn't the Trump situation where they accused him of keeping classified files after he left the presidency. As president, he can declassify anything he wants to.

Biden didn't have the power to declassify. So he was in illegal possession of classified files, and sharing them with reporters. Guys are sitting in prison for much less.

That's always been the case. All those docs they found piled in his garage, at his DC office and at his office at Penn, were illegally taken. He took some of them from a SCIF just like Hillary.

And of course he wasn't prosecuted for it.

127 The 2020 election was rigged and Biden was installed as the junta head because he was a demented idiot. The presidency was run as a conglomerate for four years by the people in the intelligence agencies who setup the entire op and their minions who occupied advisory posts.

The election rigging isn’t some fairytale, and since the media was all in on this coup, you’ll never hear it from them. But the proof is out there- Georgia, Arizona, etc. They have uncovered most of the fraud and the ghost voters magically disappeared in 2024 when everyone was looking.

Election rigging, especially mail in ballot fraud, illegal voting, machines with substantial flaws and tallying processes vulnerable to manipulation are the only way Democrats can win an election.

Democrats are being taken over by communists largely because the old guard, Biden in this case, was a colossal failure. He will go down in history as the most corrupt placeholder to ever be in office.

We still aren't on equal footing because the courts are thoroughly corrupt and filled with activists posing as judges. Still a long way to go but things are happening and we are winning. If we weren't, Kamala would be president and the country would be overrun with illegals and in taters.

Voters don't think this way. At worst if they ever gave it a second thought (which they probably wouldn't) they would just say to themselves well he worked for the guy, what was he supposed to say.

People don't think or make decisions in these three-step dances. It has to be far more compelling. Kerry being a "flip flopper" wasn't about him changing his mind on any one thing. In fact 98% of the people convinced by the nickname probably couldn't tell you anything he actually flip flopped on. It just fit because of how he looked and acted. You knew he was a spineless snake. Same way other things fit. Like Lyin Ted, Low Energy Jeb.

The idea that some average dummy who doesn't know jack shit is going to hear an argument about what someone said about someone else and were wrong about, and be fundamentally moved by it is pure schnapsidee from us tuned in folk.

If you're rich enough to have a $million+ property as a second or vacation home in what is already a very expensive city, then coughing up another 4% a year is just the cost of doing business.

Plus, as I've been saying, there are so many exemptions that you'd have to be an idiot -- or just lazy -- to not find a way around the tax.

155 As a Vice President or as a private citizen Biden:

A. Had no right to retain classified outside a SCIF

B. Had no right to disclose classified to an uncleared person anywhere.

C. Had no right to disclosed classified to another person unless that person was cleared to an appropriate level, was inside a SCIF and most important, HAD A NEED TO KNOW in order to do their job.

Back to Mamdani. What a surprise:

Don’t be surprised that Mamdani—a man for whom a Judenrein Middle East is his political lodestar—also wants a Judenrein NYC. About 45% of NYC lawyers are Jewish. The odds of selecting 18 NYC lawyers at random and ending up with a panel containing no Jews are 0.55 to the 18th power—or roughly one chance in 47,149.

And it’s not about “Zionism.” There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jewish lawyers he could have picked, including thousands who, to their shame, voted for him. It’s about Jews. He hates Jews. It's not complex.

165 During the Obama administration, Biden was given 2 countries to oversee, China and Ukraine. Much of the Russia collusion bullshit came from Ukraine and it had the dual purpose of getting rid of Trump and demonizing Russia.

The war in Ukraine was a deep state uniparty plan. That's a big reason why Trump had to go, he didn't want the war.

When they couldn't get him thrown out of office they rigged the 2020 election and got their war thanks to Joey shit pants.

175 Well like any and all late war Luftwaffe planes there is much speculation on these machines.

But Red 8 and Red 9 fuselage codes are smaller than the other B-1a/U1s like Red 10, that batch were converted in Berlin by Lufthansa.

There is debate on the MG 151/20s. Some argue they were fitted after the planes were turned over to the British. Or at least the long tubes were. I am going with them because it is different.

But it was shipped to the US as FE-610 and sometimes called "Ye Olde Fruitcake." It was transferred to Cornell there it vanished, seemingly scrapped.

I think he's too full of himself -- he's The Science Made Flesh, after all -- to pretend not to remember or to suggest guilt by invoking 5A.

227 The seating arrangement at Graham's funeral is interesting. In the front row are Trump, Vance, Bessent, then Eric Trump and his wife. Rubio, Hegseth, and other Cabinet Secretaries are in the second and third rows. In the line-of-succession, I believe the Secretary of State is first in the Cabinet officers, ahead of the Secretary of the Treasury. Bessent is definitely the fair-haired boy now in Trump World. Works for me.

I am thankful they kept the nuke codes and big red button away from him. Granted he'd get confused adding the nuke codes and end up ordering ice cream bombs while forgetting the cones. I'm guessing chocolate ice cream. Maybe Rocky Road.

What is hilarious is that the Dims and his puppet masters thought they could hide his dementia from anyone with a functioning brain cell watching him. I thought President Trump showed great restraint at the debate, and could tell he felt a bit sorry for the buffoon Dr. Jill pushed onstage. "You answered all the questions, Joe! Good job!" Pats head, checks diaper.

Which brings me to the GOPe think they can hide McConnell by photoshopping new shirts on the original photoshopped photo. Somehow forgetting his chy knee wife's pose and putting man hands on her. Bizarre.

The ACA is the last piece of real policy passed by Congress. Some minor stuff nibbilng at the edges, but nothing of actual policy implication in almost 20 years.

Forced deportations are more than 1 million since Trump 2.0 started. Estimates for self-deportation are a ratio of between 3-6:1 per forced deportation, so at least 4 million have left in just over a year.

And arrests and deportations are increasing. June was the biggest month ever for it. July has already surpassed it.

We'll get the Biden imports out before Trump leaves. It's the other 80 million that are the big question.

It took 60 years to get us to this point. We can't undo 60 years in 4.

When the Soviets fell in 1991, US federal debt was at $3.6 trillion. Thats for the entire history of the country.

What are we at 35 years later? Like $40 trillion? Hell, we'll probably add $3.6 trillion to the debt this year alone.

I guarantee you that this is already an undercurrent of thought on the left. The further left, the more near the surface the thought is.

Rich people bought Hillary's nomination away from Bernie, Biden's nomination away from Bernie (everyone kind of forgets Biden had a presidency at this point), and just outright bought the nomination for Kamala.

Another loss where some major donors seem to be steering the ship away from the left's brand of populism (Kamala is pure establishment by this point, especially with who is in charge of the DNC), and the DSA fights of 2026 might look quaint.

He didn't but it was said it was doubtful he could win without him.

Biden was put in solely to allay the fears of highly likely middle class, upper middle class and above democratic voters not certain of the wisdom of voting for Obama.

Uncle Joe was said to be reliable with his long stint in the U.S. Senate, and would keep Obama on course.
