Another fun fact: the contents of his computers that weren't scrubbed because of known malware or classified intelligence value are available courtesy of the CIA: https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/index.html

What gives. I hate how much time I’ve already wasted trying to figure out why this is the one time CIA shares our American work with Americans.

It’s been like 30 seconds. I don’t know why they’d do this.

Fun fact. The creator of this video turned it into a NFT and sold it to some fucking idiot for $500k.
