    How many “coincidences” would be enough to convince you or any reasonable adult? Imagine a guy leaving the scene of 100 different murders - no actionable evidence. Coincidence?

      I think the point is that that you don’t have to convince a reasonable adult, you have to feasibly be able to prove it in court while staying within the confines of the law. How we feel about information doesn’t always correlate with how things fit into the rules and sometimes that can be very unfortunate.

      It’s not about convincing a reasonable adult. This wouldn’t be a normal court trial. Have you not paid attention the last 5 years?

      This is not only about getting a prosecutor willing to take on a judge appointed by Trump, then convincing entirely unreasonable adults who are Trump supporters, then getting it through the appeals process with judges appointed by Trump, then getting it through the Supreme Court that was mostly appointed by Trump.

      I’m not the one that needs to be convinced. I’m already convinced. But I’ve seen the evidence that is published today and there are many out there who have not or refuse to believe it. What we’re talking about is prosecution, the people you need to convince are our lawmakers and judges.
