What many Americans long suspected has now become all but undeniable -- former President Joe Biden's physical and mental health were in serious decline during his White House tenure, but that diminishment was routinely covered up or dismissed by his family, inner circle of aides, and media allies.

Now, former senior Justice Department official John Yoo has suggested that not only is a special congressional investigation of the Biden health cover-up warranted, but so too is the appointment of a special counsel to lead such a probe, Breitbart reported.

Yoo, a former deputy assistant attorney general in the Bush administration, made those nightmarish remarks for the Biden family amid an increasing surge of revelatory bad news for the elderly ex-president and those who surrounded him over the past four years.

Biden health decline cover-up must be investigated

On Friday, Yoo appeared on Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime" with guest host Kayleigh McEnany, who queried the former federal prosecutor over his recent call for a special congressional committee to investigate the alleged cover-up of former President Biden's declining health status.

"You worked on the Whitewater investigation. You’ve been in Congress. This would be analogous, I presume, to a January 6 Committee, to a Watergate-type committee," McEnany said. "What would that do, as compared to Comer sending out letters and eventually subpoenas from Oversight?"

"I think the first thing it does is it would get people under oath," Yoo replied. "These people could then not lie, obfuscate, tell the American people things that are not true, in order to cover up President Biden's health, and also, I think, to conceal whether they themselves abused power, broke federal laws by exercising the power of the office of the presidency without his authorization."

"And that kind of investigation usually has a single person, a special counsel. Here I say, let's have Robert Hur come back and do it right, a special counsel who conducts it like a prosecutor," he continued of the former special counsel who led the probe of Biden's unauthorized retention of classified documents.

"And if those Biden aides, Biden family members refuse to cooperate, then you have the Justice Department, can go in and force those subpoenas and throw people in jail for refusing to answer Congress' questions," Yoo added.

Hur has "unfinished business" with Biden

According to RealClearPolitics, Yoo went on to note that there were two ways to get a special counsel, the first being through a congressional appointment to lead a congressional investigation, including prior probes like "Watergate, Iran-Contra, January 6," while the second is via an appointment by the attorney general.

In Yoo's view, Attorney General Pam Bondi "could just appoint Robert Hur special counsel, just like he was before. In fact, you could almost say he has unfinished business."

"We only got a glimpse of it from Robert Hur's first investigation, when he said Joe Biden could not actually be put on criminal trial because he's a well-meaning man who has memory issues," he said.

"Robert Hur is already halfway deep into the case," Yoo added. "Why not get the guy who's already the expert on this, and Pam Bondi just ask that, and he has to accept, and then they can get started right away."

A reckoning and accountability are needed for the lies

There is no longer any question that, as millions of Americans suspected and observed for themselves over the past four years, former President Biden's physical and mental health were becoming progressively worse during his time in the White House.

Biden's family, friends, aides, and allies in the Democratic Party and the media all did their worst to try to keep that grim reality a secret from the American people, and there must be some sort of reckoning and accountability for that unacceptable dishonesty and subterfuge.
