tyb/s, patriots, anons
First off here's the tl;dr. The "probably nothing here" rabbit-hole will be a separate, linked post.
Do any anons know of a hash function, or some combo of hash/crc/xor/etc, that would produce 24 hex characters as output?
Been going down a rabbit hole with the last two Q drops, probably nothing here at all but still entertaining it for now.
Particularly these bits:
>>5883651 ————————————–——– There is a reason why a sword is held.
>DIGEST the FULL GRAVITY of what the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES says in this clip.
>>5883573 ————————————–——– Listen very carefully. ( Cap: >>5883626 )

First I kept thinking about the upper vs lower casing in the top drop… what a coinkidink, there's 50 uppercase letters and 33 lowercase, 50 - 33 = 17.
Then I started thinking about DIGEST, as in a hash function. Hashed various combinations of the top quote above–upper only, lower only, both, with DIGEST, without DIGEST–using various std hash funcs (sha1 sha256 m5). Did some quick searchs with the resultant output, nothing.
Next did some quick searches on 'gravity cryptographic hash functions', yielded: SPHINCS and Gravity-SPHINCS.

Now I'm looking at the Justice .jpeg filename (not 8can's sha256) and wondering why on earth there's only 24 hex chars in there.

McConnell blocks resolution calling for Mueller report to be released publicly
By Jordain Carney - 03/25/19 05:30 PM EDT
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday blocked a resolution calling on special counsel Robert Mueller's report to be released publicly.
Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) asked for unanimous consent for the nonbinding resolution, which cleared the House 420-0, to be passed by the Senate following Mueller's submission of his final report on Friday.

"Whether or not you're a supporter of President Trump or not, of what you feel, there is no good reason not to make the report public," Schumer said from the floor. "It's a simple request for transparency. Nothing more, nothing less."
But McConnell objected, noting that Attorney General William Barr is currently working with Mueller to determine what in his report can be released publicly and what cannot.
“The special counsel and the Justice Department ought to be allowed to finish their work in a professional manner,” McConnell said. “To date the attorney general has followed through on his commitments to Congress. One of those commitments is that he intends to release as much information as possible."
Under Senate rules, any one senator can try to pass or set up a vote on a bill, resolution or nomination. But, in turn, any one senator can block their request.
It's the second time a Republican senator has blocked Schumer's attempt to pass the House resolution.
The New York Democrat’s first attempt hours after the resolution cleared the House unanimously but Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, objected to his request.
Graham blocked the resolution from passing after Schumer refused to amend it to include a provision calling on the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate alleged department misconduct in the handling of the investigation into 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's email use and the Carter Page Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications.

Always and forever, honored just to be here. For God and Country.
