1/ I'm noticing a pattern in how my Russiagate-skeptic friends think about news. It boils down to thinking like *lawyers* instead of thinking like *scientists*. It’s understandable given that this is a story about an eventual trial. But I think it’s a mistake. Hear me out. 2/ Imagine your partner stopped responding to texts/calls all night and returned the next morning with no explanation for where they were, who they were with, etc.
