I have my doubts, frankly. It is troubling if true of course, but most people involved in scheming don’t say things like “we want you to alter this data to drum up support for this cause.” That rarely happens. You may discuss that in private meetings, but when you issue marching orders, rarely are they that brazen or stupid.
I am skeptical until proof of her claims, and don’t care that much anyway. Too many others things that concern me frankly to invest my energy.
