My favorite part is that they claim they don't have the "admin" passwords to these servers [an issue/lie in itself], but somehow two days before the audit, the records [requiring a password] were deleted.

Deleting these files before the 22month retention period is a federal crime [not to mention under subpoena], so it makes sense they need legal advice for the unfounded claim...

I've heard the interview, I'm asking about the tweet. I believe it to have been a photoshop-job, like this one:

It just makes me laugh to see it brought up after it's been so thoroughly debunked.

It's all a matter of perspective.

Some people also believe that the 2020 election was rigged, that genetically modified foods are inherently unhealthy, that homeopathy works, that vaccines cause a variety of ailments including autism, that facemasks are 0% effective at preventing the spread of disease, that Donald Trump is Hitler, or that all Democrats are pedophiles.

Everybody's got their own personal gris-gris.

theres nothing to debunk, it's verified fact. Even biased politico calls it mostly true.

Everyone is entitled to their own perspective on any of these issues, of course. They are not entitled to their own facts. Things that are demonstrably false should not receive consideration in any real discussion.

There is no benefit to society in giving an audience to conspiracy theorists. I think it's time to move past entertaining those that continue to pretend that their alternate realities deserve anything other than ridicule.

Make a claim? Back it up with provable facts. Can't do that? You should no longer be considered part of a serious discussion.

Mind providing a link? I cant find a single article that agrees with your assertion.

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biden%...spiracy_theory whole bunch of links in the references section. I still can't find anything.

Fact: Biden had the prosecutor fired under threat of aid not being given.

It is unknown if it has anything to do with hunter (the crackhead) Biden

Ah, yes. I saw that one, but was under the impression you were alluding to the Hunter Biden aspect as verified true. My mistake.

It was pretty well flushed out that Sleepy Joe withheld the money to get the prosecutor fired. Never really understood why anyone had a problem with that other than just looking for something to make Joe look bad.
