      Unverified? Yes. Corroborating some of what we already know? Also yes.

      Proven fake? Definitely not. That is unless you are to believe the word of Republicans and Trump.

        Proven fake? Definitely not.

        Thats not how the burden of proof works. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

          • Ad Ignorantiam fallacy states otherwise.

          • “Fake” is itself an assertion requiring evidence, independent from stating neutrality, e.g., “We don’t know whether it is true or not.”

          • Also, circular-reasoning fallacy: Who says they’re extraordinary claims within the context of what we already know?
