USA was tagged and bagged November 1963. It's just taken a long time to become obvious.

On October 8th and October 9th, 2023, U.S. President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. was questioned by Special Counsel Robert K. Hur regarding the reams of Classified National Security documents that he (Biden) intentionally left in SEVEN non-secure locations, from 2006 to the Spring of 2023. Locations including his Delaware home's garage and basement, and other non-secure buildings.
The DOJ released the PRINTED TRANSCRIPT of the 2-part interview just before Special Counsel Hur publicly testified before Congress on March 12, 2024.
Here is a direct link to the 2 transcripts. Note: The DOJ gave them to Democrats.

The U.S. House Oversight Committee is also asking for the AUDIO Transcript, because there's something "fishy" about the printed version supplied to DEMOCRATS on the House Oversight committee by Joe Biden's DOJ.
--But the DOJ said "NO!" to the Subpoena from Congress: nypost.com...
--Judicial Watch has also attempted to obtain the audio via the Court System, but...

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced that The Justice Department has told the court that it will not disclose the audio recordings of special counsel interviews with President Joe Biden in order to protect Biden’s “privacy” interests.
WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?
Is the DOJ not releasing AUDIO of Joe Biden's interview by Robert Hur because it differs from the DOJ-supplied transcripts?
How would Joe Biden's "PRIVACY" be compromised, since we already have the "official" DOJ transcript?

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans plan to move forward next week with holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for his refusal to turn over the unredacted audio of an interview that was conducted as part of the special counsel probe into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.
The House Judiciary Committee is set to convene on May 16 to advance contempt charges against the Cabinet official, according to a person familiar with the matter who was granted anonymity to discuss plans not yet made public. The resolution would then go to the full House for a vote.
The contempt proceedings are just the latest flare-up in the increasingly tense relationship between Republicans and the Justice Department. House Republicans last month threatened to hold Garland in contempt for refusing to fully comply with a congressional subpoena issued as part their probe into Special Counsel Robert Hur’s decision not to charge the president with any crimes.
Republicans — led by Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and James Comer of Kentucky — had ordered the department to turn over audio of Hur’s interviews with Biden by early April. But the Justice Department only turned over some of the records, excluding the audio interview with the president. They warned of the precedent that would be set for future investigations if the audio was provided.

Jean-Pierre defended Biden’s decision, contending that the transcripts themselves are already out there.
“I think the second piece of this too to note is that the Attorney General made it clear that law enforcement files like these need to be protected,” she said, claiming that Biden made the decision “at the request of the attorney general.”

While all eyes were focused on a Manhattan courthouse for Donald Trump’s trial, a curious thing happened in Washington. President Joe Biden invoked executive privilege in defiance of Congress.
It is not the invocation that is particularly unusual. What is curious, is that Biden is withholding the audiotape of his own interrogation by Special Counsel Robert Hur, even though the transcript has been released as unprivileged.
It appears that Joe Biden is “he who must not be heard.”
The invocation of privilege over the audiotape is so transparently political and cynical that it would make Richard Nixon blush.
Multiple committees are investigating Biden for possible impeachment and conducting oversight on the handling of the investigation into his retention and mishandling of classified material over decades.
Classified documents were found in various locations where Biden lived or worked, including his garage. The mishandling of classified material is uncontestable. Broken boxes, unprotected areas and lack of tracking are all obvious from the photos.

Below are Chairman Comer’s remarks as prepared for delivery.
Today’s mark-up initiates contempt of Congress proceedings against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland for defying a subpoena from the Oversight Committee.
The Committee’s February subpoena required the Department of Justice to produce audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with the Special Counsel investigating his mishandling and improper disclosure of classified materials. The Department has chosen not to produce them. That’s why we’re here today.
This is not a complicated subject. The Oversight Committee requires these audio recordings, and the Department of Justice has refused to provide them.
We are not in court. The accommodations process has been exhausted.
We are not making a request. The subpoena requires production.
We are not requiring anything that interferes with an ongoing investigation. The Special Counsel already concluded his investigation by choosing not to charge President Biden because he is an “elderly man with a poor memory.”
This morning, the Department of Justice informed the Committee that the President has asserted executive privilege over the audio recordings of the President’s interview with Special Counsel Hur. President’s Biden’s decision to withhold the audio recording from Congress is alarming!

"This should be something that should be readily available," said Comer. "The other reason we want these audiotapes is the transcript was written by the Department of Justice.
I can't tell you the number of times that people in the Department of Justice, people in the FBI, people in the IRS have not been truthful with our committee throughout this whole investigation.... The audiotapes would prove whether or not the transcript is right."
