That's on the client, not the protocol. A few folks have built clients but for some reason hasn't made this a feature.
All posts are publicly accessible though -- here's Jake Tapper's posts for example

They have self authenticating data structures no? Someone should be able to write a program that can verify any post.
Yes, only a web-frontend client is missing, see someone else who downloaded all posts https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35845504
But, the inability to check any post by people already there is absolutely unacceptable. Not being able to verify a screenshot of public figures is just a huge no-no in my book.
