Right, and the next thing you’ll be telling us she didn’t commit tax fraud, by filing joint tax returns with one man, while married to another. As I said, happens all the time. You should try it, you’ll get only slap on the wrist. ---

Here’s some of the things that are “unproven”: Singmaster’s conjecture is unproven ( it might turn out to be true or not). The lonely runner conjecture is unproven ( it might turn out to be true or not). Whether one person was married to another person is not “unproven”, you corny faced hedge fucker. It can only be either true or not. “Unproven”…ha! It’s just about as unproven, as the fact that she’s a muslim tax cheat. ---
