So the journalists who relayed leaks lack competence to evaluate the 
credibility of claims by (apparently) senior officials that there is an 
investigation into a President, which must presumably resemble a typical

before a jury (which requires its own form of competence)...

Isn't politics ultimately the evaluation of claims?
