    To be fair, he had a twenty year plus friendship with a known child sex trafficker. AND all of these accusations sent to the FBI. These didn’t come out of a vacuum. So yes, you’re right. It could be a crazy person.

    But ten? Twenty? Hundreds?

    Starts to seem a whole lot more probable when they are put into context.

      To be very clear, I only mean the most detailed and batshit crazy ones, like the baby eating ones or the one you referred to where it’s oddly overly detailed and then no way to follow up. The guy’s a genuine pedophile and there’s plenty of evidence of him literally selling humans. But let’s also keep the real, plausible, and solid evidence in context and not make the more salacious stuff with no way to verify it the top line. At that point the rest of the world is no better than him demanding to see Obama’s birth certificate.

      Not that it matters, apparently child trafficking rings are the minimum qualification for being a cabinet secretary at this point.
