Heartland’s twerpishness aside, there are a lot of commentators who agree that the memo they reference is, in fact, a fake mixed in with the real documents. The date is different, large sections are cut and pasted from other documents, the PDF has different meta-information, etc.

Just to clarify, there is pretty strong evidence that it’s fake, but it’s circumstantial. From what I’ve read, if the one document is “fake,” Heartland could prove it conclusively, but haven’t done so - at least yet.
