NEW: DOJ DECLINES to turn over audio of Spec Couns Hur's interview w/ Pres Biden to House Oversight Committee Republicans

In letter to Committee, DOJ says, "The Committees’ interests may not be in receiving info in service of legitimate oversight or investigatory functions, but to serve political purposes that should have no role in the treatment of law enforcement files.."

"It’s the right-wing propaganda equivalent of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s famous stages of grief. The five stages of right-wing propaganda: Assert, repeat, raise money, repeat again, blame the deep state when it falls apart. But now there is a sixth stage, which is when even Fox taps on the brakes and tells stooges like Comer, OK, you idiot, you have failed, it’s time to move on."

"James Comer's blind fealty to Donald Trump continues to make him the laughingstock face of the do-nothing dick pic sniffing House GOP. …

This is the face Donald Trump has demanded that House Republicans show to the American people."
