sing your song somewhere else.

The appointment of Hur came hours after the White House confirmed the discovery of a second set of documents in a garage at Mr. Biden's Delaware residence. Garland said the government first learned about the initial group of documents that were found in an office Mr. Biden used upon leaving the vice presidency in early November, and the FBI began an assessment of potential mishandling of classified information several days later. Garland revealed the documents in Mr. Biden's garage were subsequently discovered on Dec. 20.

its a message board - its why they exist, to bitch about shit and see if like minded souls are on the same page Blues Heron Feb 2024 #48

The answer is no, but more people will be aware of the ineptness of Garlands justus department. That's a good thing. Autumn Feb 2024 #33
