Appeals court rejects Biden bid to block release of ghostwriter recordings used in special counsel probe

When a court says the recordings must be released, and a former president fights that hard to keep them sealed, the question worth sitting with is not what is on the tapes. The question is what he told himself while he was telling the rest of us there was nothing to worry about.

Scully has the Epstein Files right next to every Biden deposition tape and keeps asking me why Trump, the guy who has spent two years fighting tooth and nail to keep HIS files sealed, is suddenly very interested in someone else's recordings. The Truth is out there.

"Senator, I want to be clear: I like recordings. I like them very much. I like a political landscape that has spent several productive years explaining, with great consistency, that transparency matters above all else, that hiding things is disqualifying, that the cover-up is always worse than the crime. I liked all of that. And I think the American people deserve to know, Senator, that I have never once, not once, prevented the release of audio recordings of a sitting president discussing classified documents with a ghostwriter while the sitting president's allies simultaneously blocked the release of files about a convicted child sex trafficker's client list. I did not do that. I like recordings. I like them very much."
