Notice that these “links” are almost always year-old or older tenuous intelligence reports that have since been retracted, found false, or deemed irrelevant. The later retractions are ignored.

And notice that many of these “links” sound an awful lot like somebody playing a game of “six degrees of Bacon” rather than finding actual meaningful links.

Notice also that the most recent piece of “evidence,” other than the Op-Ed, is from November of last year.
