A conservative organization is urging a federal judge to speed up a court battle over access to audio recordings of five hours of interviews President Joe Biden had with a special prosecutor who later chose not to recommend criminal charges over allegations Biden mishandled classified information.

Lawyers for the Heritage Foundation argue in a new court filing that Biden’s invocation Thursday of executive privilege in response to a House subpoena for the audio adds urgency to three pending Freedom of Information Act lawsuits seeking the recordings.

Heritage said the Justice Department didn’t need as much time to prepare its response as it had argued previously, pointing to the fact that Attorney General Merrick Garland sought the privilege assertion from the White House on Wednesday and received it the following day.

“The Department’s asserted time constraints were misleading,” Samuel Dewey and other lawyers for the group wrote in their Friday afternoon submission. “The Department did not need the time to prepare a position and declarations it twice told the Court it did. A formal assertion of Executive Privilege is an extraordinary undertaking.”

1. Just as soon as we get to hear the actual audio tapes of TSF's conversations with Putin and his threat to Zelensky.

2. It's time

It’s time to start taking names and kicking butts. These fascists will stop at nothing unless directly confronted and put in their place. The are first and foremost cowards, who afraid of having to compete on a level playing field with a diverse and enlightened populace. The way you deal with bullies is you punch them in the nose.

3. The first name on the list should be Merrick Garland

Garland appointed a pro-Trump special counsel for a reason. Hur gave Magats/TSF exactly what they wanted, a bothsider argument that President Biden was just as guilty as TSF in retaining classified documents. Allowing Hur to release his anti-Biden/political report is on Merrick Garland.

White House lawyers are furious at Garland, but the damage is done.

Oh and pro-Trump special counsel Weiss is getting ready to take President Biden's son to trial. Hunter may very well be sentenced to several years in prison. Thank you once again Merrick Garland.

5. The problem for us is that the GOP doesn't need to get the tapes - they just need to make it sound like

Biden has something to hide. Just like the purpose of investigations of Clinton over Benghazi.
