Yes, I was thinking about whether it was worth the bother.

I most often fire off responses on the fly after reading a post I am inclined to respond to, like I am here.

Let`s not move the goalposts. Let`s not erect strawmen.
Let us instead focus on the points I made.

This merely shows you haven`t the slightest idea how to reason.

Of course you are making an argument by stating this position. Your position is that they were protected somehow from criminal prosecution.

You wrote this...
"Because they'd never face prison time for destroying evidence."
That was me quoting you.

Non sequitur.
Address or contest what was written.
Do you deny you were giving unnamed people the power to insure this activity wouldn`t be prosecuted, and that the only reason it was offered is because it is what your idea requires.

The Secret Service all have law degrees?
You are alleging criminal activity by the SS, are you not?

I`m examining your ability to reason here, please focus and stop with this ham-handed attempts at misdirection.
You don`t seem to be making counter arguments to the points I am making, why is that?

I`m examining things you`ve said. I believe they betray an inability to reason.

So that is your idea, right? The SS cleaned the limo to obstruct any investigation into what actually occurred. Can you show where you have ever spelled this idea out clearly?

Because your ideas require it, that must be what happened. But what if your ideas aren`t valid?

A reasoning person might ask why this risky move was undertaken unless there was some great benefit to be achieved. Can you say what that great benefit was?

The point was that you don`t see a connection between the cleaning being halted and the bubble top being put on. As I see it this speaks to your inability to reason.

You opted to misdirect at every turn instead.

My explanation is this. It is a nothingburger. The sort of thing conspiracy hobbyists focus on because they have nothing.
