Evil. Absolutely evil!
Down the Memory Hole. So Typical of Leftist Scum.

No off-site backups?
No doubt copies can be found, but like most everything else, we never get to see them — which is total BS
There were off-site backups - just not in the Federal government
I wonder if that material can be found at Archive.org?
This was likely the case all over the Obama administration.

Just as we thought, this immigration crisis was planned well in advance.
Let’s ask if the Russians have a copy...

Just as we thought, this immigration crisis was planned well in advance.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No kidding.
It’s only been going on for 30 years through FOUR Presidents, two of each party.
It was planned during the GHW Bush administration.
Do we have any recourse? Will anyone from the MSM pick this up? Can Tucker Carlson discuss this?
I’m sure the content can be retrieved ... but the more salient point is that it points to a strategy by Obama to go after Trump on immigration and flood the country with illegal voters ... BEFORE he even left office.
Obama has been pretty silent yet I suspect he is very much playing a role in this coup.
c-span has some speeches...one search sample:
