I thought it was a good explanation for people (not DUers) who don't understand its meaning.

In the thread someone points out the example of Deep Throat.... That was an anonymous source, he existed, he was in a position to know the things he revealed. Nobody thinks that story was made up.

Kelly was either the source or one who was able to confirm it. He has not just himself, but family to protect as well. And despite not being named, the orange one went on a tirade against him.
Dead give away.

Look what they did to Christine Blaisie Ford. And Jacob Blake's family is getting death threats. His cult members are not right in the head.

their families from the death squad cult.. trump & Thugs have made that perfectly clear.
