So are the documents fake or were they stolen? Or are they stolen fakes?
Heartland seems to be taking a shotgun approach to their damage control efforts in order to discredit LGF and pretend that they don’t have egg on their faces.

Of course, their dilemma is that if they claim the documents were stolen, then they are implicitly admitting to their authenticity. If they claim that they are fake, then they risk being discredited even further should additional evidence surface supporting the veracity of the original documents.

As far as I know, they say only 1 was a fake. The rest they said were real.
Though, I think they walked back their admission that they were real.
