Maybe just wait a moment for things to come out through the natural course of justice rather than getting yourself all worked up here.

The accusations are serious enough that it’s probably reasonable to assume that they have some serious evidence for this and if that is true then this is a good outcome that should be celebrated.

Isn’t it equally reasonable to assume the accused is innocent until proven guilty?

- "probably reasonable to assume"

Presumption of reasonability in political prosecutions doesn't exactly have a great track record.

I remember when the GoF tried to blackmail a Wikipedia admin with prosecution threats, to coerce them to censor Wikipedia entries it didn't want people to read,

Presumption of reasonability in political prosecutions

Assumes facts not in evidence.

I don’t know what anyone is supposed to assume from one story from over a decade ago.

I’m just saying to slow down and wait for details to come out. This thread is turning into a paranoid fever dream based on nothing as far as I can tell.

You didn’t say to slow down and wait, you made the claim that “something’s probably bad”, quite different.
