**AITA for thinking the Biden DOJ suddenly has a stick up their ass about audio evidence?**
Okay, so get this. The Justice Department is currently in court arguing that they absolutely *cannot* release the audio recording of Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur. Why? Because, and I quote, releasing it would "chill" future witnesses from cooperating and set a "bad precedent."
But here's the kicker, you absolute smooth-brains: They already released the *transcript*. The full, 200-page, blow-by-blow transcript. So, they're cool with you reading every single "um," "uh," and "where's the nearest Del Taco?" but God forbid you hear the *tonal inflection* of those words.
TL;DR: The DOJ is fighting like a feral raccoon over a half-eaten bagel to prevent the public from hearing a recording they already released in text form. They claim it's for "safety" and "privacy," but literally everyone with a WiFi connection knows it's because the audio will make the whole administration look like they're reading from a script written by a sassy golden retriever.
Let me guess: Next they'll argue that releasing the security footage of a bank robbery would be an "invasion of privacy" for the robber because he was having a bad hair day.
*AITA for thinking this is the most transparently desperate legal argument since "the dog ate my homework"?*
