Appeals Court Rejects Biden's Second Attempt to Block the Release of His "Elderly Man with a Poor Memory" Interview Tapes

You're not experiencing deja-vu. Yes, there was a story like this recently, but that was the district court judge rejecting Biden's plea for an injunction blocking the release of the tapes, supposedly to protect his "privacy" by keeping secret the tapes of his conversations with his ghostwriter, with whom he shared classified information.

These tapes were in turn subpoenaed by Robert Hur and were evidence -- proof, actually -- that Biden both shared classified information with someone not cleared to hear it and that he knew he was illegally retaining classified documents, because he explicitly says something like "I'm not supposed to still have these" in the tapes.

Hur didn't prosecute, of course, even though Biden was guilty by his own admission. Hur claiming that no jury would convict this hapless husk because his brains were plainly mush. (To which I say: Put me on the jury and I'll send this decrepit muppet to the fucking gulag.)

Biden rushed out an appeal, and the Appeals Court told him that the public's interest in the actual truth trumped his fake right to keep the truth from the public in the interest of "privacy."

One might say that presidents have a very low expectation of privacy -- particularly when the tapes sought to keep private include admissions of breaking serious federal laws.

- A federal appeals court has rejected a request by Joe Biden to block the release of audio recordings and transcripts of his interviews with a memoir ghostwriter before he was elected president.
A divided three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit suspended its decision until Aug. 3 to allow more time for Biden to consider another appeal.
The panel's 2-1 ruling late Monday found there is a "substantial" public interest in disclosing the material that Biden wants to keep under wraps. Redactions to the recordings would help protect Biden's privacy, the majority noted.

Redactions? What?

"We conclude that any remaining incursion on personal privacy from disclosure of the now-redacted materials likely does not outweigh the public interest in disclosure," the ruling says.

And whose appointee was the judge who rushed to defend this elderly man with a poor memory?

Judge Florence Pan, who was nominated by Biden, a Democrat, wrote a dissenting opinion in which she said Biden has shown a "substantial privacy interest" in keeping the material hidden.
"The conversations at issue took place in Biden's home, and the recordings of them were obtained by the government in the course of a criminal investigation that did not lead to an indictment," she wrote.

The "conversations" -- in which Biden confessed to knowingly retaining classified documents -- took place at his home and this is why the tapes of this questioning are "private"?

What?

This is the best this DEI Dina can do?

Your honor, I want the murder weapon suppressed, because it was found at my home, and that makes it "private."

The appeal also was heard by D.C. Circuit Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan and Judge Gregory Katsas. Srinivasan was nominated by President Barack Obama, a Democrat who chose Biden as his vice president. Katsas was nominated by President Donald Trump, a Republican who lost to Biden in 2020 but was elected again to the White House in 2024.

Mark Zwonitzer, who worked with Biden on two memoirs, 2007's "Promises to Keep" and 2017's "Promise Me, Dad," interviewed him at his home in 2016 and 2017. Biden's lawyers say the conversations were candid, personal and intended to remain private.

Yes, they were "candid, private conversations intended to remain private" except that they were also had in furtherance of writing a memoir for Biden, intended for public publication. (Hey, publication has the word "public" right in it.)

That doesn't scream "private" to me.

...
Pan noted that the majority is effectively ruling in favor of immediately disclosing the material by denying Biden's request for an injunction pending appeal.
"That, of course, will moot this case," she wrote.

Ever hear the sound of documents as they rev up to be released? They go vrooom, vrooom. You gotta hear it, Jack!

56 That judge's thinking is about as clear as those wonderful videos that I love where perps believe that since they've made it to their home's driveway that a traffic stop can no longer be made.

I saw a video where a cop was called to a bar because a patron was drunk and had told the bartender he was going to drive home.

The cop approached it really well, told the guy why he was there and that the drunk guy could walk home or the cop would help him get a cab.

Drunk guy says no, I'm just going to drive home (slurring the words badly because he was drunk)

The cop said if you get behind the wheel I'll arrest you and the guy...gets behind the wheel. The cop goes to arrest drunk guy, who resists, and gets arrested.

So instead of spending $20 on a cab he's got a bunch of legal bills and probably a license suspension...

I'm amazed how often cops give people the option to NOT get arrested and they refuse to take it

I saw a video with a young woman where a shop had called the cops because they saw her put something in her bag without paying.

The cops explained why they were there and asked to look in the bag. The woman refused. They said they had probably cause to search it and would if she refused anyway....which led to pushing and punishing and screaming. The young woman was with an older woman who I assume was her mother though she denied it when the cops asked if they were related.

And the older woman started screaming, "She's underage you can't touch her!" Where the hell do people get these ideas?

They found stolen property and arrested her and she got charges for resisting arrest and assaulting an officer.

It just amazes me...when the store owner sees you steal something and says they are calling the cops why wouldn't you drop whatever you took in the store and leave?

95 One might say that presidents have a very low expectation of privacy -- particularly when the tapes sought to keep private include admissions of breaking serious federal laws.

Many here bemoan the transition of the United States away from a "high trust society". I say we got here because, for decades, our elders trusted way too much.

This expectation that a President has privacy has been old with me for decades. It was old to me with Reagan. Nobody drafts these guys to be President. They ask for the job.

You want your privacy ? President probably isn't the job for you.

_______________________

I still think the solution to retail theft is to restructure store policy. All listed prices on products are at a threshold above required felony filing. The only way to purchase for "discounted" true price is a store membership that has one requirement...visit the check out register. Automatically, that triggers the price to retore to original value. Anyone who absconds with something a small as a pack of gum without visiting the check out has committed a felony requiring police to treat accordingly. California can only institute Price Gouging rules during a State emergency, so a privately owned store is able to set the price structure they way they wish.

163 The Ethiopian migrant who killed three people in Minneapolis didn't like the "American system" and he was discriminated against because he was black and couldn't bring his wife and children here.

The Afghan "refugee" that died in a shoot out with the cops last year blamed the US government for all his troubles in having to work a 9-5 and get his car registered and all the normal crap we heritage Americans have to deal with.

Maybe, just maybe, the US is not the right place for people from stone age civilizations?

Nail - meet head. A most astute observation.

I'll say this. In many places - including A LOT in Texas - its the "If they won't work we'll bring in people that will" mentality. And I'm talking folks that vote Republican like clockwork.

After decades of shitting on the idea, the Media and Education folks have finally created a couple generations that think Nationalism is a dirty word.

In Third World countries the governments often take a long time between print runs of the local currency, so the bills stay in circulation for an extra long time. After living there for a while, your wallet becomes rather pungent.

176 Speaking of unsanitary locations, there's a famous story (which may or may not be true) about the color "Verde Scandal."

It's the swinging 60s. A very rich lady goes to the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata. She wants to order a Miura. But she doesn't want any of the standard colors. She wants custom.

"No problem," the Lambo guy says. "What color?"

"Exactly like this," she says, pointing to the lime-green dress she's wearing.

"We'd need a sample of the fabric."

Without missing a beat, the lady takes off her dress and hands it to the guy. She walks out in her underwear.

Hence: Verde Scandal. Is the story true? Who knows? I tend to think it is. Sounds to me like something that would happy in the 1960s.

But I have no expectation of ever voting there - let alone holding public office. And its a very reasonable arrangement. I'm just there for the money. I'm not connected in any meaningful way.

203 I got it now. The reason that Mickey Mouse is "minstrel" is so that it is racist if don't want to see Mickey banned.

That is if you tolerate status quo, you're racist.

The demand for racism exceeds the supply, so add more things to "racism". Like "Hey, Mickey Mouse isn't a minstrel figure--unless you think that red shorts with big white buttons are 'minstrel'?"

The more things you involve that aren't obviously racist, the more "racists" you'll invent when somebody pushes back at having "everything" change.

________

Under federal law, yes. But "debt" is interpreted broadly to mean any good or service you've already accepted (such as a bill after a dinner at a restaurant). Some states or cities require that cash be accepted for most transactions.

That's why there are carve-outs for unsanitary conditions. So businesses don't have to accept nasty cash. Although, as I've said above, I've never seen anyone refuse cash.

I think some, maybe all of them? got pardons. A number of his staff were called to testify before Congress about the autopen debacle, and they basically told Congress to fuck off.
