Reports that I received illegal campaign contributions are surely false. It has come to light that the stories were leaked by a former employee who was dismissed and harbors a personal grudge against me.
The politician's reasoning is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it:
- dismisses an allegation by impugning the accuser's motives instead of weighing the allegation itself
- overlooks the possibility that other employees also regard the reports as accurate
- takes for granted the very legality of the contributions it sets out to establish
- assumes that the former employee's grudge was the sole motive for leaking the reports
- concludes that the former employee is incapable of ever telling the truth
