Observing similar cases throughout history, the lack of immediate denial and dismissal is a very strong signal that there is some truth to it.

Take for instance the Podesta emails as a recent example. No one denied that they were real, just denounced the means by which they were made public.

Exactly. And the acquisition here also has a very sketchy story. It kind of sounds made up. If it's true, it's very unethical. If it's untrue, it very likely still was. But the method of acquisition doesn't say anything about the content itself.
