If people are to be judged by the assertions of their jilted former lovers then we are all in for a very bad time.
Any time there is a headline with a very serious and inflammatory claim, like the one above, you would do well to scroll down past the hyperbole and look for the evidence offered (if any) for such a serious charge. The only evidence cited by this article in this accusation of a series of treasonous felonies is purportedly an accusation by an ex-lover. Unfortunately the level of mania is so frenzied in the country right now that rational thought is out the window. Especially concerning to see on Hacker News, where presumably necessary skepticism and critical thinking would be in higher supply.
You mean except for the fact that her participation in the invasion of our capital, attempted overthrow of our government, and theft of intelligence was live streamed for literally the entire nation to see.
The only assertion we are relying on from the ex for is the fact that after committing multiple felonies on camera she was planning to commit one more.
Furthermore although she is entitled to assumption of innocence in a court of law we are required to provide nothing of the sort.
If he was merely trying to get back at her why not just turn her in for all the crimes we saw on camera. The simplest explanation is that he is telling the truth.
There is video of her leaving the Capitol. Look, if you commit murder but your ex is the witness that points to irrefutable evidence of your guilt, do you get a free get out of jail card because your ex and you aren't together anymore?
It's a stolen laptop, there's physical evidence. And she's on camera in the capitol. Seems like we're judging her on a lot more than just the "assertion" of her "jilted former lover".
I mean, this guy's tip that she had the laptop turned out to be correct! But you're saying trusting him about her intent to sell it to Russia demonstrates a lack of "skepticism and critical thinking"?
