It's enough to make one's head spin, and I guess that's the point. Too many contradictions and lies to combat without exhaustion. Like a Gish Gallop.

Some of these families have seen each other for the last time. There is no way this administration will have kept careful track of all the adults and all the children and be able to reunite all of them.

I would be ecstatic to be wrong.

Trump enacted this policy knowing he would hurt and damage these children and their families (willful intent)with it, even admitted it, then falsely blamed the Democrats, showing intent, he knew it was damaging these children , but blaming others again. He used his presidential powers to commit crimes with it, child abuse, and now is backing off because they know they could be in trouble for high crimes they've committed . They now should be held fully accountable for their crimes doing this intentionally to hurt this children and their families for their political gain. If this isn't a high enough high crime against these children , those refusing should be asked to resign , or removed from office for protecting a child abuser. Every lawyer representing these children and their families should file civil suits against this government, trump, sessions, and miller for their crimes against them , and for all the pain and suffering they've caused , and for the permanent damage they will live with the rest of their lives. Congress should also hold him and others accountable and removed from office.
