    If the government were faking it, they would obviously try to implicate the trans roommate. This just makes them look innocent. There are absolutely 22-year-olds who talk like this online

      I think you might be right, but wouldn’t it be like pushing their luck to try to bring in someone who’s completely innocent, as opposed to just solidifying the case against Robinson?

        Then wouldn’t they at least make him look like some antifa guy rather than a mostly-apolitical one? That’s what they were hoping for most. If the evidence were forged, it would be way worse than this.

          Yeah, I thought the same thing, but if they’re only forging the texts then they can’t overplay their hand. The whole “CK is full of hate” is a very convenient motive to list out with all the other corroborating info.
