    I agree, but FYI I wasn’t trying to contort talking points by saying ‘seems’. I just hadn’t had time to watch the video with 100% attention to say that was happening for sure. Obviously the person is, after taking another look.

      Oh, I am attacking the notion of plausible deniability that bad faith actors can use to twist the meaning of “seems” or “alleged” is all. You are 100% correct in using the word seems from an initial impression or viewing. I’m just trying to prepend the “they feared for their lives” argument that will inevitably come from the far right.
