As RedState reported, several portions of audio from Joe Biden's infamous interview with former special counsel Robert Hur were published by Axios on Friday, and to say they were shocking would be the understatement of the century.

It's not that we didn't know Biden was completely senile. This site has written countless stories on the multitude of public appearances by Biden that devolved into doddering confusion, whether it was slurring his words, forgetting the names of his cabinet officials, or repeatedly getting lost trying to exit stages. What we hadn't gotten was a peek behind the curtain of what the former president was like when the cameras were off and his handlers hadn't pumped him full of whatever over-stimulating drug cocktail they were using. We now have that, and the peek is not pretty.

But while the actual audio was bad enough, what makes this the largest scandal in presidential history is how those around him tried to cover this up. With unflinching evidence sitting in front of us of just how bad Biden was while his family and handlers insisted he could serve another four years, it's time to bring out the receipts. Let's start with Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), but rest assured, we'll get to the press' role as well. Believe that. 

FLASHBACK: Adam Schiff raged at Robert Hur for daring to include an accurate assessment of Biden’s cognitive condition in his report.

SCHIFF: What is in the rules, Mr. Hur, is, you don't gratitiously do things to prejudice the subject of the investigation when you're declining to prosecute. You don't gratuitously add language that you know will be useful in a political campaign. You were not born yesterday. You understood what you were doing. It was a choice. You certainly didn't have to include that language. You could have said, vis-à-vis the documents that were found at the university, the president did not recall. 

There is nothing more common, you know this, I know this. There is nothing more common with a witness of any age when asked about events that are years old to say I do not recall. Indeed, they're instructed by their attorney to do that if they have any question about it. You understood that, you made a choice. That was a political choice. It was the wrong choice. 

Hur would go on to adequately defend himself, but that is such a damning video in light of the released audio. Schiff ranted and raved at the then-special counsel, claiming he made a political choice to accurately describe Biden's mental difficulties during the interview. What evidence did he have at the time to make those accusations? Had he heard the audio? Or was he taking his marching orders from the White House and being shamelessly political, putting the country last to defend a senile president? We all know the answer. 

Schiff then went on CNN and claimed Hur had "politically slimed" Biden.

Will Jake Tapper be having Schiff back on to grill him on what he knew and when? Because if his answer is that he didn't know, then he should have to answer for why he pretended he did while grossly attacking Hur's character in a congressional hearing and on national television. 

Then there was Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who accused Hur of taking "cheap shots" by being honest about Biden's condition.

It's no coincidence that both Schiff and Raskin were on the January 6th committee, which altered evidence and tried to destroy and hide testimony that countered their narrative. They were also frontmen for the Russian collusion hoax and have proven themselves to be some of the worst of the worst when it comes to putting America last for their political wants. If the press had any standards, they'd never allow either man on their airwaves again, but rest assured, they'll never be held to account and will be back on "Meet the Press" or some other news show to push whatever latest partisan slop they've come up with.

Of course, we can't talk about Biden's senility without including former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. She likewise slammed Hur after he released his report.

Has anyone seen Jean-Pierre lately? After a few appearances on MSNBC and the like, she's gone completely dark, and who can blame her? She was the tip of the spear in lying to the American people about Biden's condition. I guess she thinks she can wait all this out without ever having to answer any questions about why she so brazenly and viciously attacked those who were just trying to tell the truth. She may be right. 

We can't forget Kamala Harris either. She described Hur's report as "gratuitous, inaccurate, and inappropriate."

Which brings me to the press. Unsurprisingly, they were not innocent bystanders in this historic scandal. Instead, networks like CNN actively promoted White House talking points in a completely uncritical manner. One of the worst offenders was their then-media watchdog, Oliver Darcy.

Tapper, who is now trying to pretend he wasn't an active participant in the cover-up by releasing a book on Biden's senility, dutifully had Schiff and others on to push their baseless narrative against Hur. People like Brian Stelter likewise went after conservative news outlets for describing the interview accurately. Meanwhile, you had The New York Times, the AP, MSNBC, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and others pushing the same talking points about memory loss being normal and suggesting Hur was acting politically.

I could keep going for hours, but this article would be unreasonably long if I did. There are so many more clips of Democrats, administration officials, and press members going after Hur. None of them have come out to apologize as of this writing, and none of them should get away with this. There should be congressional hearings on this cover-up. People should be placed under oath and made to answer questions about why they lied to the faces of the American people. Rest assured, no matter what happens, we aren't going to let them forget.
