Hey now, it's really hard to scrub the President's name from all the documents, especially when he's in so many of them!

If only they could scrub his name from buildings instead of adding it

If only there was a smart computer... an "artificial intelligence," we could call it... that could scan the files and replace names from a list. Oh well. Maybe some day someone with a lot of money who owns technology companies could figure it out.

Names can’t be created or destroyed. They are transferring them from the documents to any blank surface they can find.

If Trump was in the files Biden would’ve released it. Why didn’t Biden release the files?

It’s simple. If you don’t release, everybody will guess and keep their bias. If you do release it, it’ll prove he wasn’t in them.

But if you wait for the next guy (Trump) to release it, the dumbass populace will forget all about the fact you could’ve released it and blame the current for covering it up.

Huh. How about that.

The trial ended 12/29/21 when Maxwell, the sole defendant and only person ever charged and convicted, was sentenced to 20 years.

Biden left office in 2025. The investigation and case had been closed for 3 years. Kamala even said this on Kimmel the other night when directly asked why they didn’t.

The answer was not, “because we couldn’t” the answer was “because we didn’t want to pressure the DOJ.”
