I don't think that qualifies as corroboration. Kaleva Sep 2018 #64

This isn't a legal case. So it's not corroboration, if Senators say it's not. Honeycombe8 Sep 2018 #70

I think the case can be made for therapy notes to carry weight lunatica Sep 2018 #74

That case can be made. And the opposite case can be made. Honeycombe8 Sep 2018 #77
