This is a tall order. I try to only pay attention to posts that don't assign blame. I not only ignore the Jew-bashing or bipartisan junk, but I think character evidence and circumstantial evidence are mostly dead ends. Transactions, whether they are financial, fraudulent, or otherwise, leave a trail. Even the absense of a transaction which should exist is a trail. Sadly after this is all said and done, human trafficking, child-sex crimes, black market organ sales, and global financial crimes will all still exist. But hopefully some of the biggest offenders will be incarcerated.

Exactly. Circumstantial evidence is only valuable when there is a verifiable crime. Circumstantial evidence "without a body" is not enough. However, the more circumstantial evidence is uncovered, the closer we can get to finding said body.

This is true, and applies to character evidence as well. But with either, circumstantial or character, they usually are used to prove motive. Finding material proof of fraud or worse (murder/abuse/trafficking) would preclude a need for proving motive. So yes, keep digging in many places, but let's remember what offenses would stick and what findings would convict...

so much work to do. i fear we really need Leo to get these slippery bastards. search warrants, etc. are the only way I think we turn up anything material. but we need to keep looking regardless
