They didn't dodge anything. They answered your question quite clearly. The answer is context matters.
A first aid kit alone is not proof of that. The commentor did not claim that nor did the prosecution of the case. When taken in context with the other evidence and the actual actions they were able to use it as supporting evidence.
Now in my opinion their actions were based, but obviously illegal. If I were on the jury I would have let them walk, but that's all beside the point.
The fact that anyone is even debating the (completely irrelevant) first aid kit means the disinformation campaign is working.
Shockingly I can proccess more than one view at a time. While I thought the first aid kit discussion was interesting I'm still aware of other factors of the case, I'm still aware that Trump is a child rapist, and I'm still aware that we are invading Iran.
Discussing something isn't falling for a "disinformation campaign".
Continuously steering a conversation away from important and towards irrelevant details is called "flooding the zone with shit" which yes, is a type of disinformation campaign.
No it doesn't
