    To your point, the details are coming through unnamed sources in the article. I thought that’s what you were getting at. I’m inclined to believe it’s true, but we’ll have to wait for a formal deposition to know what’s what.

      Well yes, because it’s playing into conspiracy theories that were already popular when he started making the claims. That’s why I’m dubious about it; he’s very much saying what a lot of people already wanted to hear.

        Absolutely fair. However, the reason I’m inclined to believe it is because of its likelihood, not because I want it to be true.

          Well that’s just circular reasoning: “I think it’s likely to be true because I think it’s likely to be true”
