Yea no one should take anything Sacks says as reliable.

He’s an administration shill and is a constant source of disinformation, especially on things like Russia and ukraine

He's an official and he cites other officials, including a Democrat official. Singaporean officials have also debunked the false statements of WSJ.

If you prefer to be a clown, you can keep believing the publications with no sources cited.

The public has insufficient information to determine one way or another. Investigations will abound. You seem to cite Himes everywhere as a rebuttal but he says he doesn't know. That is the safe epistemological position. You go much further in calling it a hit job and have been toxic throughout this thread calling people clowns who lack critical thinking. I suggest humility in the face of uncertainty.

> The public has insufficient information

Agreed, hence I think public outrage is unjustified

> Investigations will abound

Great, we're all curious

> You seem to cite Himes everywhere as a rebuttal but he says he doesn't know

As he came out of the intelligence briefing about Alice Huang, while in the hallway he was asked whether Alice is a spy and he said he doesn't know. Clearly he was not presented with irrefutable evidence or strong facts in that meeting with all the big shots of the intelligence apparatus, that's for sure.

> You go much further in calling it a hit job

Look at how coordinated this story with "anonymous sources" has been, it's blatant

> have been toxic

I presented arguments and cited sources in my initial comment. The rebuttal people came up with was "the guy that said there is no evidence is from the side I don't like grrrrrrrr". That is clownish actually.

The sources you cite do not prove your claim that it's a hit job. That's just as unsubstantiated by evidence as the claim she's a spy. So don't throw stones from glass houses. There are ways to intelligently discuss this without ad hominem.

Of course, anything short of an official statement from The Supreme Court will not suffice, right?

> So don't throw stones from glass houses

You haven't proven anything yourself or added any valuable information to the discussion. Anyway, lecture away about ad hominem if it makes you feel morally superior.

I just want to help keep HN discussion high quality with less trolling, it really has nothing to do with morals. I don't understand the hostility.
