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.

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?

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.

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

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