If The FBI Instructed Agents To "Flag" Any Mention Of DT, That Proves He's In It, Period

https://time.com/7303673/donald-trump-epstein-files-fbi-durbin/

"The FBI allegedly instructed agents to “flag” any mention of President Donald Trump while reviewing files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein earlier this year, according to a letter sent Friday by Senator Richard Durbin to the heads of the Justice Department and FBI.

Durbin, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said his office had received information that roughly 1,000 FBI personnel were put on 24-hour shifts in March to comb through approximately 100,000 documents connected to Epstein. Those agents, Durbin wrote, were instructed to identify and set aside any materials that referenced Trump."

Apparently it's also going around on socials. And that durbin wants her to clarify having the list on her desk and what she meant by that. Or whether she was lying and if so then she's going to have to reconcile with the judiciary committee.

How can you have a thousand people searching for DT's name if it's not there and just a hoax

Good question.

Just like Hitler sent his people to Austria to remove any evidence of the lie that his Grandmother
was Jewish. Btw Trump has worked on and is still working on purging anybody from the FBI who
doesn’t believe or at least sells “the big lie” that he really won the 2020 election.

You got to sell Trumps phony reality to be in the Federal government.

7. Obviously. The only people stupid enough to still deny it are Republicans and QAnon believers, and the Venn diagram

8. The missing and redacted documents will tell you where the evidence is

They will release documents and some will be missing from lists. The missing documents will be the incriminating ones. Copies will be found later squirreled away that might sink tRump.

His only hope is to push the releases out past the midterms as much as he can. But that also keeps the issue alive. Democrats can put Republicons under spotlights for their positions on this and hammer them for seats.
