    But why the double standard? He’s certainly not staying silent, even with all the gag orders.

      That doesn’t make it right for others. And there is no double-standard. The point is- there is no proof. There’s enough to hang him on. Making shit up is only diluting the waters and giving them an argument of doubt.

        Fair point, assuming that you’re acknowledging that his accusations are also not right.

        The point is- there is no proof.

        Can you claim that with legitimate certainty though? An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

        And that’s still not accounting for the evidence of all the other similar terrible things he’s done. Again, Modus Operandi.

          Cause someone is a shit person, doesn’t mean they’re guilty of evening you can throw at them. There’s a reason for the concept of innocence until proven guilty. It’s what separates us from tyrants. And because they do it- isn’t sufficient reason for us to do it.

          Best to wait it out and see how it unfolds.
