28. My take on the bullshit
Mon Nov 17, 2025, 11:07 AM

They've now had plenty of time to review the docs with a fine toothed comb.

Unless they were previously marked with an ID, so they can identify missing material, they would then have the freedom to cover it all up by destroying the good stuff.

I'm guessing that Trump was finally given the OK to proceed once the data was destroyed.

Makes perfect sense to me.
