George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley ripped into White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, claiming that the only thing President Joe Biden’s administration was actually “transparent” about was their abject unwillingness “to answer questions.”

Turley laid out his thoughts in a brief thread on Twitter after Friday’s briefing, saying that the White House was refusing to answer questions even when they didn’t have to, claiming they were doing so in order to protect the investigation into classified documents found in Biden’s possession.

“It is increasingly painful to watch Karine Jean-Pierre as she argues that they have been ‘transparent’ by being transparently unwilling to answer any questions,” Turley began.

…Nothing prevents the White House from answering basic questions about the scandal. It will not undermine the Justice Department for the White House to confirm the President's position and recollection. The silence protects the President not the investigation…

“Nothing prevents the White House from answering basic questions about the scandal. It will not undermine the Justice Department for the White House to confirm the President’s position and recollection,” Turley continued, adding that the stonewalling appeared to be designed to protect Biden rather than protecting the integrity of the investigation.

Turley then pointed out the fact that the White House had already asserted a defense, saying that Biden had removed the classified documents “inadvertently,” and argued that there was no reason Jean-Pierre could not confirm that sentiment — or elaborate on how that could have happened — in press briefings.

…I can understand the desire of a criminal defense attorney for Biden to remain silent. However, the refusal to answer basic questions is not to protect the "independence of the Justice Department" or the investigation. It meant to protect the President as an individual.

“I can understand the desire of a criminal defense attorney for Biden to remain silent. However, the refusal to answer basic questions is not to protect the ‘independence of the Justice Department’ or the investigation. It meant to protect the President as an individual,” Turley concluded.

Turley raised questions earlier in the week about the classified documents and the president’s apparent defense, saying that some of the facts thus far did not line up with the accidental removal of the documents — which were found in multiple locations, from the Penn-Biden Center  in Washington, D.C., to his Wilmington, Delaware, home and garage.

“The ‘inadvertent’ defense has its dangers. If Biden worked off any of these documents for his book (which dealt with some of the underlying subjects), the inadvertent defense is not only shattered but could be viewed as an effort to deceive the public,” Turley said, adding that the documents making it to multiple locations also suggested that some of them may have been moved more than once.

Actor John Larroquette admitted that he once took a role in a horror movie in exchange for “a matchbox” of marijuana.

According to a recent interview for Parade Magazine, the “Night Court” actor explained that he had taken on the role — narrating the opening sequence of 1974’s “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” — as a favor to his friend, director Tobe Hooper, and that he hadn’t expected to be paid for the work.

Larroquette told Parade that he had actually met Hooper several years earlier when he was working as a bartender in Colorado — and when he later moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting, Hooper called him and asked if he could spare an hour to narrate the beginning of his latest project.

“Tobe heard I was in town and asked for an hour of my time to narrate something for this movie he just did. I said ‘Fine!’ It was a favor,” Larroquette said — but he admitted that, on his way out the door, Hooper had slipped him a little something for his trouble.

“Totally true. He gave me some marijuana or a matchbox or whatever you called it in those days. I walked out of the [recording] studio and patted him on the back side and said, ‘Good luck to you!'” the actor added.

According to Botanical.com — which has published a lengthy list of street-terms for marijuana and other related paraphernalia — a “matchbox” refers to approximately “1/4 ounce of marijuana or 6 marijuana cigarettes,” or the amount of marijuana that might fit in a matchbox.

The Louisiana native said that he has never even seen “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” explaining that horror movies are not really his thing — but he did appreciate the fact that the movie did well and netted him roles narrating sequences in the sequels as well.

“You do something for free in the 1970s and get a little money in the ‘90s,” he said.

Larroquette, who is part of the NBC “Night Court” reboot, famously withdrew himself from contention after four consecutive Emmy wins for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series — from 1985-1988, during the show’s original run.

He was not the only star to take that step either — Candice Bergen bowed out after winning five times between 1989-1995 for her role in “Murphy Brown,” and Oprah Winfrey withdrew her name after winning seven times in 12 years.
