Deliberately not counted
Connections the engine saw and refused to count, with its reason. This half of the audit is the more important one: it is where the rules bite.
- ignored Tucker Carlson suggested that President Joe Biden could be responsible for the damage to the Russian-owned pipelines, which were not operational when they experienced major leaks into the Baltic Sea. — critical question answered unfavourably — the inference is withdrawn (Pollock)
- ignored Hersh alleged that U.S. Navy divers, operating under the cover of a NATO exercise (BALTOPS 22) in June 2022, planted explosives on the pipelines, ordered by President Joe Biden. — critical question answered unfavourably — the inference is withdrawn (Pollock)
