vs. information that her sources have given her and she believes is trustworthy.

No one is suggesting that you SHOULD accept her speculation.

But anyone who dismissed her report of the FISA warrant turned out to be wrong. And the Dems who refused to believe her claims that Comey, despite his mistakes, was pursuing a real investigation, were also wrong. She was right that he was one of the good guys; many of us have only realized that since DT fired him.
