The President himself signed that bill. He had earlier said it would be a hostile act to even support that bill. And what came of it? Three million files released. Now we've yet to see justice here in the United States but we watched a British ambassador to the United States, lose his job, he was sacked. We saw the Prince, the Prince of England lose his title. We saw the former Prime Minister of Norway arrested, convicted, maybe not convicted yet, but arrested. We saw the Minister of Culture in France receive the same fate. CEOs, presidents in some universities resigned over a hoax. Somebody should have told them it was a hoax because that's what we were told, that it was a hoax. Folks, it wasn't a hoax.
