...That fits facts we already know and is of-a-piece with the rest of their behaviors over the last 3.5 years, so it is quite believable.
But that's fine - I agree there needs to be deep investigation in to what exactly happened. This is just a handy lead for investigators.
- Quarrelsome 6y agoye but its also such destructive information that its plausibility overlaps with propaganda. We have the same sort of thing in the UK, reports that Labour encouraged immigration to "rub diversity in the faces of the right" or reports that the Conservatives don't build social housing "because people that live in them won't vote for us". Those statements are such political dynamite and evoke such an emotional response from the public that they become suspicious merely due to their political effectiveness. It doesn't mean they're not true, just much less likely to be true so we should be careful in treating them as fact.
