7. It's sometimes hard to make opinions that don't sound like conspiracy theories.

If I were to suggest that there was an ulterior motive for the failed insurrection, if I were to support the belief already promulgated that certain people entered the Capital in search of very specific information, only because I have read similar comments in the past few days, is my opinion worth less because I can’t prove it?

It’s sometimes hard to state deep held beliefs because others doom you nuttier than a fruitcake, but I do believe that certain elements went in looking for specific information. Spy’s? I don’t know - maybe. I believe that what we have seen is the surface of a much more deep seeded plot.
