Surprise! Merrick Garland Blows Off Deadline to Turn Over Special Counsel's "Poor Memory" Transcript to Congress

Remember, they're fighting to save democracy.

They've decided that the Constitution's provisions for congressional oversight of the Executive is the next village that must be destroyed in order to save it.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) failed to turn over the transcript of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur after the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees requested it, the Daily Caller has learned.

The House Oversight Committee requested the transcript via letter on Feb. 12, giving the DOJ until Monday, Feb. 19 at 5 p.m. to respond. The DOJ did not turn over the transcript or other documents in the report that were requested, sources with both committees told the Daily Caller.

"We haven't received what we requested and everything is on the table as to what is next," a Judiciary committee spokesperson told the Daily Caller.

"The DOJ has not provided the materials requested and the committees will soon follow up about the chairmen's request," an Oversight committee spokesperson told the Daily Caller.

The DOJ did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller's request for comment.

Hur released his special counsel report on Feb. 8 detailing Biden's handling of classified documents. While Hur decided not to pursue charges against the president, the special counsel made note of Biden's declining mental state.

In a five-hour interview with the president on Oct. 8-9, Hur noted that Biden seemed to forget when his vice presidency began and ended as well as when his late son, Beau Biden, died.

The report added that if Biden were to appear before a jury, he would present himself as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

Biden himself addressed the report in a press conference after its release, during which he blamed his staff and took no responsibility for mishandling classified documents, and claimed concerns about his mental faculties are a press fabrication.
