15. Maybe. IMHO he's tainted goods, unfortunately.

Reference your first point, that it all “already seemed to fit with the info we already have”, I’d worry about two things, first confirmation bias, and second, they tell you what they know you want to hear, knowing that you are already predisposed in that direction.

Not saying he isn’t in fact telling the truth, just saying what comes obviously to mind in this situation. The first time you falsely cry wolf, it affects your credibility every single time afterward.I want caution, because I don’t want this derailed by chasing an obviously bad fact line. Do we have enough to do the job? Let’s be very circumspect about what else we try to push.

As to your second point, one of the reasons that I don’t really have any interest in pursuing the Hunter Biden line of inquiry is because of the obvious bias and lying being live streamed by the GOP party in the house impeachment hearings.

Having said all that, I’d love for any or all of Lev’s info to be independently verified by other sources. Cue Ukrainian corruption investigation, only not the one shitbrain wanted.
