Bridget Kelly on Bridgegate: 'I Am Not Guilty'

[calimary]

27. I was actually going to respond to the person whose post is no longer there.

Yeah, indeed, maybe we're trying to do some mind-reading here. One is often given to that kind of pursuit when no information is forthcoming to objectively inform one's conclusions. Sometimes all we can do is speculate. Try to analyze. Try to assess from WHATEVER even bare traces of information can be gleaned. Like for example, there's information to be derived from NOT being informed. Is there a reason there's a bias or something relevant was left out? Or maybe you study body language or parse language or word choices - looking for clues. If information isn't forthcoming, for example, if the police take days and days and days to come up with anything except for that almost too obvious little trick with the leak to the Washington Post about how Freddie Gray somehow broke his own spine. That was so contrived and so phony and so blatantly manipulative that I was actually insulted by it. But when it's just astoundingly stinky bullshit, and that's all there is, what else can a body do but guess, or, yes, mind-read?
