      Oh thank goodness there is no merit to this headline. Oh wait, it is still a plausible situation no matter where you read the headline. Nevermind.

          Have you been paying attention to the journalism industry lately? We’re lucky to get “plausible” half the time.

          Is the headline false? I think Mary trump said those words. I’d love to hear why you think they faked this quote.

            I mean, you can read the article. I don’t see that quote anywhere.

            But you also kind of implied “it’s fine if it’s not true since it’s plausible” that’s more what I was commenting on

              "One of those possibilities was that the documents inside the binder “were sold or given to Russia,” according to her blog post. "

              -the article I didn’t read, quoting Mary trump’s blog

              So she at least typed this distinct, concise thought. I said it was plausible because they had found a BOATLOAD of classified docs in trump’s possession after he was out of office. Considering this binder the quote is about has not been recovered in any of the raids they performed and with the truth about trump’s financial situation coming to light I can picture a means, motive and opportunity. So sure, ‘plausible’ is the best term I can think of until more solid evidence is presented.

                Ha shit, one of those ads must have popped up and made me jump that paragraph or something. I really did read it and didn’t see that the first time through
