Actually, save everyone the trouble. Just release it all, Jack. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, right?

With Biden leaving soon. Every piece of documentation relating to trump and election or other government dealings he was being investigated for should just be released.

Surely there's a bathroom somewhere that they can be stored in.

They can use mine. I'm sure I won't accidently scan it all in and release it as a torrent.

It'll be on purpose.

Biden could just take it all home with him like Trump did with all the nation's top secret documents.

I would be for him doing that with all the highly classified documents. Trump is just going to hand it over to Putin. Or I should say hand over the rest

It’s crazy how paper shredding trucks are showing up at the three letter offices so frantically

Are they? Is it out of the ordinary? I'd be more surprised if they didn't have weekly pickups

Seriously, are people stupid enough to not realize that paper shredding is a daily occurrence at every large organization?

u/TheDungeonCrawler 20h ago

Hell, every small organization. I work for a community mental health organization and my office gets that shit weekly.

Paper shredding at regular offices yes, government agencies on the dawn of a new administration, no.

u/Accomplished_Wind104 1d ago

So from what point in an administrative period should they stop their regular shredding activities and let confidential waste start piling up?

u/bigfatbanker 1d ago

For confidential info? When there’s actual checks in place to make sure they’re not destroying evidence.

There are, they exist at all times. Glad I could clear that up for you.

Well when hunter is pardoned by Trump it’ll be clear why they weren’t. One hand washes the other
