“Certainly they’re not investigating to the level I think the evidence warrants,” Eastman insisted on “60 Minutes,” which is a nice encapsulation of the way in which this belief system propagates. It assumes that the “evidence” is valid and inculpatory and any investigation which fails to validate this assumption is insufficient. It’s the approach taken by Bigfoot enthusiasts: I have this blurry photo and, if you can’t find him, it’s because you’re not looking hard enough.Then there’s Scalise.

Then, more testily, he added: “Your anger against the truth is reprehensible.” The boos grew louder.
