When we start "investigating" even the most ludicrous accusations, the whole system of justice goes downhill fast. Imagine putting the FBI and others to work on every conspiracy that is unloaded on the net every day.
If you are not just pulling our chains, and honestly think there is the slightest chance that the man with his finger on the nuclear button deliberately killed 3,000 New Yorkers for political gain, I don't see how you can operate rationally at all for the fear that this idea must create.
I suppose I could generate an equivalent metaphysical paralyzing terror in some poor slob by convincing him that hundreds of people were involved in a conspiracy to poison everything he eats. For God's sake, keep your sanity.
I did not need to launch a space probe to prove to my own satisfaction that the Moon is not covered with giant broken greenhouses, and accusing an American President of deliberate mass murder falls into a similar category. I would not believe such a thing of any President, not even those I disliked the most.
