CONTEXT BEFORE CONTROVERSY
What this drawer covers.
Organizational collection — not a mega fact-check page.
LEAVE-AS-IS GUIDES
What you will find
These six guides keep their original format and URLs. Nesting them here is organizational — not a rebuild or a new verdict.
RIVAL PATHS
How to read them
Each guide already carries its own sources and contested claims. Use the guide, not this hub page, for the evidence spine.
CASE GATEWAYS / NEST INDEX
Case gateways.
Full guides above first.
Permanent nest URLs. When a full guide publishes, the nest becomes a maintained-record gateway pointing at it.

HOW TO READ THIS COLLECTION
Follow the evidence.
Keep the distinctions.
Each story stands alone.
Nesting guides in one drawer does not make their conclusions interchangeable.
Primary sources first.
Court records, FOIA, agency files, and contemporaneous documents on the spine. Commentary is labeled.
Rival critical paths.
Each full guide maps rival paths against what the record must accept or reject.
A dated AI experiment.
