About 4 months ago, about 1000 FBI personnel scanned tens of thousands of files....

...looking for a mention of Donald Trump.

The press did not report it until this week. It was done in the shadows.

What did they do with those files once they found a mention of Trump? Did they redact the name? Did they delete it?

Just my opinion, but I suspect a crime has been committed by Ms Bondi and Director Patel? They are up to their eyeballs in a cover-up.

It was like an Easter egg hunt for the FBI. They scoured everywhere looking for files that might contain the name "TRUMP'.

That he was on trial for, it seems impossible the FBI didn't have files on him. If they destroyed these files improperly, then they've committed a crime.

But they are criminals. We know that already. The only question with Trump us how many crimes we don't know about did he also do, because we know about so many he's done.

Or maybe he doesn't care what they know, so long as they're destroyed?

He probably doesn't remember every shady deal he's ever done.

Ka$h Patel keeps up the good work and he'll be in charge of all Prison Planet.
