Sure but also there are some fossils that DO have skin, and some even have preserved organs. And some have feathers, which is a pretty good indicator that there wasn’t some large feature we’re missing.

To be fair the Obama admin also committed war crimes, as has every administration in modern history. America has so, so much blood on its hands.
