    I don't think anyone claimed they had it on tape. The claim is that the tape exists but is in Mark Burnett's possession and he isn't willing to release it.

    And you gave basically the correct answer but corroborating evidence can also take the form of looking at the credibility of the person making the claim and the character of the person being accused. People are convicted in court all the time based on what you call a person said / person said situation. Furthermore, conviction in court is hardly the standard employed by people on this board (see the Hunter Biden laptop story).

      Yes, exactly. For some reason they prefer to try to kill the messenger instead of talking about that.
