Not only could they exonerate themselves, they could vilify political opponents. Even if an accurate copy surfaced they would just say, “Nuh uh!” and MAGA would believe them.

This seems like a no-brainer. What am I missing here?!

    My body is made of trees.

    I can say that. I can offer no evidence. I can do no work to prove it. I can ignore how half the country knows I’m full of shit, and still have half the country believe my bullshit.

    And if the situation changes, I can always move the goalposts.

    Either way, I gain nothing by trying harder, and face no consequences either way.

    What motivation do I have to even try to be more secret in my corruption?
