Ok, so I've just done a bit of digging on the Presidential Transition Act of 1963 (+the Enhancement Act of 2019), and the General Services Administration, which led me to this: https://presidentialtransition.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/05/GSA-MOU-and-Trump-Transition.pdf
The Eligible Candidate, as a condition of receiving services and office space. shall disclose to the Administrator the date of contribution, source , amount, and expenditure of all monetary contributions, Including currency of the United States and of any foreign nation, checks, money orders, or any other negotiable instruments payable on demand , received for use In the preparation of the Eligible Candidate for the assumption of official duties as President. Disclosures made under this paragraph shall be In the form of a report to the Administrator by February 19, 2017. The report shall be made available to the public by the Administrator upon receipt
GSA will supply software and equipment, and the equipment will be returned by February 19, 2017. This equipment will be Inventoried and all data on these devices will be deleted.
So February 19th is shaking up to be an important day on multiple fronts... We have Sidney/Lin/PA SCOTUS cases, but also it appears that it's a deadline for Bidan's transition team...
So, then I go to try to double-check and reference Biden's Memorandum of Understanding: https://presidentialtransition.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2020/09/2020_MOU_between_GSA_and_Eligible_Candidate_Biden.pdf
Motherfucker ain't even searchable... If you do ctrl+f "F" (as in February) it highlights all the W's...
So then I try "G" (as in GSA) and it highlights all the X's...
Now I'm starting to notice a pattern... ROT-17 ... I repeat ROT-SEVENTEEN
(caesar cipher, look it up on ddg if you aren't familiar)
If I'm correct in this guess, then when I ctrl+f "H" it should return all the Y's... lemme check real quick, aaaaaaand sure enough, BANG BISCUIT!!!
Now, I'm gonna spare you the details and just give you the raw data of the rest of my findings. Below will be 4 columns: input (what you type into ctrl+f), output (what gets highlighted), occurrences (# of times it appears in the document), notes (a '✔' indicates that I verified that each occurrence is the stated letter; I only looked at those with fewer than 100 results, and there are exceptions in this doc, it's not a perfect 1-for-1 substitution)...

TLDR- Biden's MOU is encrypted with a modified ROT-17 caesar cipher
I archived the pdf here:
Feel free to copy and post on 8k too...
Wow, people remember me?
I really don't deserve that. All I did was run a few strings of text through some cipher programs. I don't even know if Nekroziz was able to make use of my data. It could have all been one giant coincidence, but I do find it highly improbable that I was able to generate the name of the county that the data came from without prior knowledge.
Thank you for your kind words.
About my name, that's the reason why I felt compelled to do something, however minor it may be. I recently learned that my 5 greats grandfather, 7 generations back, was a part of the Trenton campaign during the Revolution. He was a lieutenant under General Ewing. Several other ancestors were militiamen, but none were as close to such momentous events as the crossing of the Delaware.
To sit back and watch this country fall would be spitting on the graves of my ancestors who risked life and limb to give me the life that I've enjoyed.
