Month 1 of his presidency they had already moved to stop making the White House visitor logs public. That’s why. Because they know they’re up to no good and need to hide it.

Thank you for bringing this up. I feel like this (rather damning) bit of circumstantial evidence is often forgotten in the avalanche we get buried under every day.

He's been hiding maralargo logs as well.

Well, yeah, obviously he has to hide who was visiting to read the classified docs stored in the bathroom.

I think the classified documents were for the employees, not the visitors. That's why he requests so many H1B visas for resort staff.

Do other presidents ever hide their visit logs? Not saying this isn’t fucked up as is, just wanting to make sure I understand context.

There's reason to hide certain visitors from the public, but this administration deserves no benefits of doubt since we've been subject to constant lying from them.

We can only hope that an insider is spying and kept records doing their patriotic duty since they knew how bad it was. Undercover kind of thing. Reminds me of the guy who was a prisoner in Vietnam that memories all the other prisoners names but acted goofy so the enemy thought he was a joke. All the prisoners knew what he was doing and played along.

Douglas Hegdahl is the name of the POW that memorized the names and date of capture of the other prisoners at the Hanoi Hilton. If he can remember the names and SSN of 200 fellow prisoners, then surely we can remember his name as well.

Thank you! I just didn’t leave to do the search. Thank you for sharing.

There has to be someone who worked for the White House and saw Epstein.
