All reasonable points, but I would like to say that even still, this is just one side of the narrative and I can tell you at least from my brief interaction with him he does in fact like to pick and choose what is and is not presented and is very careful about how it is presented to serve his goals. I know personally for a fact there are things here that are just actively false that I will be reaching out to at least try and have corrected.
Once there's a statement from other sides of the narrative, I'd ask you at least give it the time of day.
