    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.

        • 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?
