That's because this document shows the FBI conducted not just one, but four, interviews with Trump's accuser.

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear

You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

[Bridge]
And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

[Verse 2]
On the radio talk shows and the TV
You hear one thing again and again
How the USA stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend

But who are the ones that we call our friends"
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone

[Chorus]
And there are lives in the balance (There are)
There are people under fire (There are)
There are children at the cannons (There are)
And there is blood on the wire

[Bridge]
There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names

[Verse 3]
They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us everything from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars

I wanna know who the men in the shadows are
I wanna hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die

[Chorus]
And there are lives in the balance (There are)
There are people under fire (There are)
There are children at the cannons (There are)
And there is blood on the wire

Well that sucks... when I clicked it again it was a Paywall.

Here's some more excerpts; if and more likely when you see a free copy post it pls.

"The analog havens provide a nostalgic escape from tumultuous times for generations born from 1946 through 1980, says Martin Bispels, 57, a former QVC executive who recently started Retroactv, a company that sells rock music merchandise dating to the 1960s and 1970s.

"The past gives comfort. The past is knowable," Bispels says. "And you can define it because you can remember it the way you want."

"But analog escapes also beckon to the members of the millennials and Generation Z, those born from 1981 through 2012 " younger people immersed in a digital culture that has put instant information and entertainment at their fingertips.

Despite that convenience and instant gratification, even younger people growing up on technology's cutting edge are yearning for more tactile, deliberate and personal activities that don't evaporate in the digital ephemera, says Pamela Paul, author of "100 Things We've Lost To The Internet."

"Younger generations have an almost longing wistfulness because because so little of their life feels tangible," Paul says.

"They are starting to recognize how the internet has changed their lives, and they are trying to revive these in-person, low-tech environments that older generations took for granted."

Here are some glimpses into how the old ways are new again."

He also said the Justices who opposed him were, "disloyal" and that they were, "barely invited" to the SOTU.

Imagine what he did when young girls turned him down....
