(62,444 posts)1. What, if anything, is your subject line quoting?
That excerpt from the police report does not say "he discovered Pizzagate was a lie".
It says he surrendered "when he found no evidence".
For all we know, the shithead still believes it, but had the misfortune not to find the secret door or whatever.

I don't doubt the words of the report, and I know there is preprinted stationery (2nd link), but that is usually run through a printer from a computer. This looks like early 1980's typewriter stuff.

Too much cheese. Do I have to accept this reality ? I think not.
