    You have to wait some time for the conspiracy theories. They take time to brew.

    When something is fresh, and facts come out, and those involved can be questioned and provide answers, that’s usually the best time to get the truth.

    Over time peoples memories fade. Stories are told and retold like a game of telephone. “Alternative theories” develop. These become the conspiracy theories, which I guess maga loves.

      It’s also when the justice department can “visit” with convicted and imprisoned witnesses and convince her to lie for her freedom.
