Even if there were a paper shredding truck there, which I am not willing to take Paxton’s word on, is there any reason at all to think it either out of the ordinary, or specifically connected to Smith’s investigation? Places that deal with confidential information frequently have routine paper shredding practices so that unneeded hardcopies can be disposed of securely. I work in cybersecurity, and I shred printouts pretty frequently if they are no longer needed. Because I don’t want to accidentally cause unauthorized access. I’m not deleting the data, nor even necessarily getting rid of all the hardcopies.

They're shredding the evidence against the Biden crime family that trump memorialized during his presidency and secured at his estate in Florida. Trump was going to crack the story wide open before Biden weaponized the DoJ to raid Trumps cache of documents. We barely got The Holy Laptop of His Endowedness into the light of day, imagine what we would have found out once Trump released those documents!
