The post offers precise-sounding figures with no source, no dates and no court records, which is how an accusation dresses up as an audit. It also predicts no governor will ever do worse, a forecast about every future governor in every state that cannot be checked until the end of time.

Real crimes have real victims, and here they are being used as numbers in a Senate endorsement.
