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.

2. Agree with jberryhill. Quotation marks mean something.

6. What police dept or court still uses a typewriter?

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.

7. I blame cheesy crust

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