One very hard to fake set of connected facts that corroborate each other, validate a suspicion, and match a motive.

It generally only takes one occasion of a videotape catching you stealing and an eyewitness corroboration for you to be believed the thief as well.

This isn't video evidence though, it's an IP address. I don't think this metaphor is similar at all.

There was real time video surveillance of the building, both external/internal by Dutch and another unnamed European agency. Also RT published the names of the two officers who controlled the G2 account: Sergei Afanasyev, GRU Deputy Chief and Grigoriy Viktorovich Molchanov, Head of the GRU Academy.

It's surprising that RT published those. I thought it was an entity controlled by the Russian government. Why would it be publishing the names of its own officers when supposedly the said officers went out of their way to appear Romanian and not Russian.
