In this case I&#8217;ve read some accusations that &#8220;Democrats are manipulating the mails.&#8221; To fabricate evidence against Trump.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;ve taken the image at full size, and had to squint for a while. Because the accusation is that these are two different e-mails, but I just couldn&#8217;t figure out why. Maybe &#8220;Jee&#8221; had been typed as &#8220;Jeee&#8221; with one extra &#8220;e&#8221;? But nope, everything looked exactly the same. So I just couldn&#8217;t even understand what the accusation was based on.<\/p>\n<p>Until I did. Those &#8220;jee&#8221; I&#8217;ve highlighted look like &#8220;Jcc&#8221;, the &#8220;e&#8221; being turned into a &#8220;c&#8221;, a different letter.<\/p>\n<p>So the accusation is that these aren&#8217;t actual documents, but something that has been written purposefully, and this is a proof of a mistake being made, because of replies to different email addresses.<\/p>\n<p>But&#8230; It&#8217;s so easy to debunk.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, those &#8220;ee&#8221; look like &#8220;cc&#8221;, in fact you can compare the &#8220;jee&#8221; with &#8220;vacation&#8221; and you can see the &#8220;e&#8221; is like the &#8220;c&#8221;. ALMOST equivalent, because the top tip of that &#8220;c&#8221; is rounded off, whereas it&#8217;s cut off on the &#8220;e&#8221;, if you squint. But this is not the final proof. The proof is that you can simply check the preceding &#8220;jeffrey&#8221; on that line, and see that, indeed, the &#8220;e&#8221; look like &#8220;c&#8221;. So a double mistake? Maybe? Well, if that still isn&#8217;t enough, you can also check the end of that line. &#8220;Wrote&#8221;, is indeed also written &#8220;Wrotc.&#8221; And then again, just below, &#8220;indicment was billed&#8221;, where each &#8220;e&#8221; indeed looks like a &#8220;c.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just a scaling issue.<\/p>\n<p>More worrying, on both &#8220;sides,&#8221; is that absolutely no one cares about the truth. They all care about scoring points. They are all trying to win games. And we&#8217;ll all lose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like when it&#8217;s easy to prove stupidity in such a clear, conclusive way: These is one of those emails that are floating about.
