• OT: Hey wingnuts! Your evidence? Yeah, about that.

    It's nothing but a document that repeats a Rudy Giuliani conspiracy theory:

    'But the thing is, FD 10-23s are used to record unverified information.
    All this document does is confirm that someone said that Zlochesvky made
    the accusation. It doesn’t actually provide concrete proof. This claim
    has been repeatedly debunked by multiple State Department officials and intelligence experts on Russia and Ukraine. This week, even former
    Giuliani associate Lev Parnas said the theory has no merit, calling it a “wild goose chase.”

    What’s more, the confidential human source, or CHS, admits in the same document that the information might not be true. The source told the FBI
    that it’s common for Ukrainian businessmen to “brag or show-off,” according to the document.

    “As such, CHS is not able to provide any further opinion as to the
    veracity of Zlochevsky’s aforementioned statements,” the document concludes.'

    TL;DR? Let me help.

    Someone claiming someone else said something...

    ...who admits that what he might be telling might not be true...

    ...is not evidence.

    IT IS HEARSAY.
