You cannot examine evidence that has been destroyed and/or was never provided or otherwise compromised. So it is not intellectually dishonest to wonder what the outcome would have been had everybody been 100% ethical and wanted the American voters to be confident the election was honest and on the up and up.

When does believing something that has a the lack of convincing evidence become intellectually dishonest?

Trump demands loyalty and the Trump Truth is all that matters well at least there are a few standing with him on the USMB no matter what.
