Throwing the election to a pedophile fascist because you didn’t want to appear “political” is an encapsulation of the Democratic Party in the 21st century
The Biden DOJ had a perfectly legal avenue to release this to the public—a response to a FOIA request. They may have even been legally obligated to produce it in response to the FOIA request. And they decided not to, to protect Donald Trump’s reputation? What?
Found the Associated Press article where the existence of this letter was first disclosed two years ago, in response to a FOIA request
It's definitely real

Just got an interesting survey on IG from a “Next Gen Driver Research Group” asking what I’d want in an enthusiast-focused EV. Very intriguing.
