"Watkins did something very smart when he took the site offline prior to this hearing. As I’ve stated before, the site has had the ability to come back online for some time now. It’s not a question of capability. Watkins was, smartly, looking to deprive the Deep State of any more false-flag ammo. Because you just know the Deep State would just loooove to get some other shooter posting some other manifesto on 8ch prior to this hearing. Clearly, the better course of action was to keep the site offline for the time being."
